On this episode of Behind the Advisor, I'm thrilled to chat with Libby Greiwe, founder of The Efficient Advisor, about the power of a well-designed and automated client onboarding process. 

During our conversation, Libby breaks down her three-phase onboarding approach: the first 30 days focused on professionalism, days 30-60 on surprising and delighting clients, and days 60+ dedicated to "shocking and awing" clients. She shares practical examples from her own practice, including providing termination scripts for previous advisors, sending personalized thank-you notes, and conducting formal onboarding meetings.
