A Client-Centered Guide for Financial Advisors

The 5C Framework: Communicating During a Transition

As a Financial Advisor, few decisions in your career feel as high-stakes as a transition or launching your own advisory business.

Clients don’t follow platforms,  they follow people.  What you say,  and how you say it,  can be the deciding factor in whether clients move forward with you or hesitate to stay.

The 5C Framework walks you through strategies to help you speak with confidence and empathy during a transition, so you can protect relationships, minimize disruption, and keep momentum moving forward.
