Managing annual reviews for clients can be a daunting task for financial advisors, especially when juggling multiple client tiers or service levels. Over time, many professionals resort to using spreadsheets, calendar reminders, or simple task lists to keep track. However, these methods often lack the necessary integration and automation that Salesforce Financial Services Cloud (FSC) provides.
Salesforce Financial Services Cloud offers powerful tools to effectively track and manage client reviews directly connected to their accounts, all within a unified platform. Here’s how to leverage FSC to standardize and optimize your review processes:
1. Utilize Action Plans and Action Plan Templates
Action plans are essential for standardizing the steps involved in the review process. Whether it’s an annual, bi-yearly, or quarterly review, these plans can outline necessary tasks such as:
By assigning these tasks to account team members, complete with deadlines, you create accountability and ensure that no aspect of the review process is overlooked.
2. Log Reviews as Interactions
Every client review should be documented as an interaction in FSC, with a related interaction summary. The interaction summary serves to:
By relating these summaries to the client’s financial account, you maintain a comprehensive record of all client touchpoints.
3. Automate the Process with Flows
Once your action plans and interaction summaries are in place, the next step is automation. Utilizing Salesforce flows, you can trigger action plans based on client tiers or segmentation. For example, a more comprehensive review process can be set up for tier one clients, while simpler processes can be applied for tier three clients.
Automation ensures that advisors are not left wondering when the next review is due. Instead, the system tracks upcoming reviews and automatically assigns necessary tasks to team members, allowing them to prepare adequately.
4. Leverage Reporting and Dashboards
Finally, take advantage of reporting tools within FSC to monitor your review processes. Creating reports can help track:
Setting up dashboards to visualize key metrics, such as the number of reviews by tier or advisor, can provide valuable insights into your processes and help identify areas for improvement.

From my initial call with Spencer through project implementation with John and Evan, my experience with the SOLVD team was excellent. They were quick to understand our business needs, clear when explaining the reasoning behind proposed solutions, transparent when reporting on progress and timeline, and all around enjoyable to work with. Would highly recommend and looking forward to continue working with them in the future!
SOLVD was very straight forward with everything needed to complete the project. No surprises, no issues, and cost was aligned with the estimate. They made implementation easy and quick.
As a rule, I'm pretty stingy with my recommendations. So it's a pleasure for me to recommend Solvd as a top-flight Salesforce consultancy. Solvd recently led our company's conversion to the Lightning interface and did it on time, on budget and made it easy for me and my team. I know I'll use their services again, and am confident they can do the same for you.
