Customers today expect seamless, personalized experiences everywhere—whether they’re ordering groceries or booking a car to the airport. The same is true in their interactions with financial services institutions, and wealth managers are acutely aware they need to provide more personalized advice through modern channels to be successful. In fact, 70 percent of consumers expect technology to improve their relationships with financial institutions by 20201. However, every client has different goals. One is saving for a dream home, another is sending a kid to college while a third is planning to open a small business. The problem is, many advisors lack the ability to track these client goals, and even if they can, they are often unable to provide the proactive and personalized advice needed to grow the relationship based on a reliance on outdated and siloed technology.
That’s why Salesforce is excited to announce today we’ve integrated Financial Services Cloud with leading wealth management technology partners via the Salesforce AppExchange to provide a single pane of glass that enables advisors to deliver personalized advice at scale across any channel and any device. Watch the video below to see how it works:
This solution provides advisors with an additional engagement layer, allowing them to:
- Aggregate data, like financial accounts, goals, relationships, life events and more into a 360-degree view of every client and household. For example, is the client expecting a baby or did they just received an inheritance? Financial Services Cloud allows advisors providers to map each individual client need to help them provide more relevant and personalized advice.
- Transform client data into actionable insights so wealth managers can proactively anticipate client needs and surprise them with personalized recommendations. And, with Salesforce Einstein, advisors can save time with recommended next steps that make it easy to transform a slow opportunity into one that is boosting with potential.
- Deepen and grow their book of business with visual relationship mapping, surfacing the relationship networks that matter most to clients, helping earn loyalty from one generation to the next with seamless advising experiences.
We enable this through powerful Financial Services Cloud integrations with leading wealth management partners via the AppExchange, so advisors can spend less time gathering client data and more time doing what they do best: growing client relationships.
