TREKCAST HIGHLIGHTS

Here’s a quick overview of the highlights:

  • Service Offerings

    We’ll explore how to define clear service levels for each client classification—whether it’s A, B, C, or D clients—and align them with the value each client brings to the business. This approach ensures resources are used efficiently while delivering an experience tailored to each client’s needs.

  • Communication

    We’ll discuss how the frequency and method of client communication can set expectations and play a major role in client satisfaction. From personalized, proactive touchpoints for top-tier clients to more scalable methods for lower tiers, tailoring communication helps maintain strong relationships while optimizing your team’s time.

By the end of the episode, you’ll have the tools and insights needed to develop a service matrix that not only drives efficiency but also strengthens your client relationships through thoughtful, tailored service.
 

NEXT STEP:

BUILD YOUR MATRIX WISH LIST

This section of your journey includes a collaboration session focused on refining your Client Service Matrix.

Before your collaboration session, we recommend that everyone (both advisor and staff) take time to complete this step. The best insights come from the entire team, because each role sees the client experience from a different angle. This is your chance to create a “wish list” of what services, communications, and perks should look like across different client tiers.

Use this form to share your ideas. Don’t worry about logistics yet—this is about capturing how you’d want it to work if you could design it your way. The insights you provide will set the stage for our live collaboration session, where we’ll build your customized Client Service Matrix together.

The TrekIn team be in touch soon to schedule the next Collaboration Session, and we’re looking forward to it!

Client Service Matrix Wish List

If you could design the client service model exactly the way you want it, what would it look like? Think of your clients in three broad tiers: baseline, middle, and top. For each tier, tell us what you’d want to include for Services, Communications, and Perks. The examples are just starting points. Your job here is to dream big!
