Know which prospects are going quiet.
Every prospect your practice is working, on one board, at the stage they are actually at. No spreadsheet, no guesswork about who was supposed to call back.
The prospects you lose are the ones you forgot about
Not a CRM. A pipeline built around how advisory business is actually won — one prospect, many conversations, over months.
Every prospect has a next action
Nothing sits in a stage without a date and an owner. If it slips, the board tells you before the prospect does.
See the whole practice, not just your own
Who is working what, what each adviser has in flight, and where the practice is thin this quarter.
Know why you lose
Every lost prospect gets a reason, recorded at the time. After sixty of them you stop guessing and start fixing.
Stages built for how advisory business actually closes
The stages are built in, so a new adviser inherits the practice's process rather than inventing their own. Rename them if your practice uses different words.
Most practices do not have a pipeline problem. They have a memory problem, and a spreadsheet does not fix memory.
Put your real pipeline in it.
Fourteen days, no card. If it does not show you something you did not already know, walk away.
