Let me make something clear: Referrals aren't BAD. Just don't rely on them as your ONLY source of leads. But a client is a client, and if people are sending them your way, you're not gonna say no! And the best way to bring in more referrals is to deliver a “6 Star Client Experience.” If you've ever been to a 5-star hotel, you know it's the little details that make it luxury: The chocolate on your pillow, the handwritten note, how your bags somehow appear in your room while you're checking in… There's no such thing as a 6-star hotel. It doesn't officially exist. Which is exactly why, as a freelancer, you should be aiming to create a 6-star experience SO smooth and thoughtful that your clients would feel stupid NOT referring you. This week's podcast episode is full of ways to create that 6-star client experience. Easy to implement - but 99% of freelancers will NEVER do it. I'm breaking down: What to do RIGHT after you take payment that instantly reverses any buyer's remorse The surprise and delight offboarding that triggers your client's “natural referral instinct” The post-project nurture system that turns one client into many For full show notes, visit https://6figurecreative.com/379

In this episode, Crissy sits down with Jessica Millhiser of JMills Consulting to talk about one of the most overlooked parts of business growth, internal structure and systems.So many entrepreneurs focus on marketing, visibility, and sales, but without documented processes, client journey systems, and operational clarity, scaling becomes chaotic.

Technology is changing fast—but the firms that thrive will be the ones that keep people at the center of everything they build.I had a great conversation with Patrick Parker, Founder of Fynancial, about how human-centered design, data structure, and digital agents are reshaping the future of wealth management. Patrick brings a unique perspective—rooted in both tech entrepreneurship and a deep understanding of the advisory space—to show how advisors can blend empathy with innovation. He shared how growing up around an RIA and working in Big Four consulting helped him see the persistent gap between client expectations and what most fintech tools deliver.We covered everything from the evolution of client portals and the role of community in client engagement, to why data infrastructure is the key to getting AI right. Patrick makes a compelling case that digital agents won't replace advisors—they'll remove the operational clutter so advisors can double down on what matters: trust, insight, and connection. For firms ready to experiment, iterate, and rethink how technology supports relationships, this is a glimpse into what the next chapter of advising could look like.

In this episode of Building the Billion Dollar Business, host Ray Sclafani reframes what it truly means to engage clients in a modern wealth management practice. He challenges the common misconceptions of client engagement which includes emails, gifts, and review meetings, and instead defines true engagement as emotional, intentional, and rooted in value. Ray outlines three pillars of effective engagement: proactive conversations, customized communication, and meaningful milestone recognition. He emphasizes that real engagement must be embedded into firm culture, not just left to the advisor. Listeners are encouraged to use tools like client journey mapping, achievement reviews, and feedback loops to scale meaningful connections. The episode closes with three reflective coaching questions designed to help advisors evolve their approach and deepen client relationships in a commoditized landscape.Key TakeawaysTrue engagement is emotional, intentional, and value-driven, where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood.Effective engagement is built on three pillars: proactive conversations that anticipate client needs, customized communication that aligns with how each client processes information, and meaningful recognition of personal milestones.It must be embedded into the culture of the entire firm, not dependent on any one advisor, and requires clear systems, roles, and shared ownership to scale.In today's experience-driven world, clients compare their advisors to brands like Amazon, Apple, and Netflix, expecting personalization, speed, and relevance.When done well, client engagement becomes a strategic asset, creating loyalty, increasing referrals, and strengthening cross-generational relationships.Find Ray and the ClientWise Team on the ClientWise website or LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeTo join one of the largest digital communities of financial advisors, visit exchange.clientwise.com.
