Sample Answer

I manage about 65 households ranging from conservative retirees to high-growth entrepreneurs. I segmented clients into three tiers (A: quarterly, B: semiannual, C: annual reviews) based on AUM, complexity, and risk sensitivity, which reduced scheduling friction and ensured compliance. I use Salesforce for CRM, Morningstar for holdings analytics, and a customized Excel dashboard that flags clients with >5% drift or upcoming life events. That workflow cut my ad-hoc review time by roughly 35% and kept 100% of required KYC/ADRs current. For Tier A clients I block two weekly slots for proactive outreach; for others I automate review reminders and pre-populate talking points to keep meetings efficient.
