  4. Monthly:  Track and monitor your business metrics and progress, which might include:

    • Number of referrals

    • Number and type of new clients

    • New assets/revenues generated from new clients

    • New assets/revenues generated from existing clients (consolidation of assets) 

  5. Quarterly:  Meet with your team to provide updates on goals and objectives. Assess progress on these best practices and other important initiatives. 

  6. Yearly: Complete the Annual Best Practices Check Up as a team to reinforce the vision and be clear on future goals.  This should include the following:

    • Progress reports and results on business development initiatives

    • Update your Rightsizing Worksheet and assess growth in client segments, change in average account size and change average profitability per client.  Refer to Best Practice 4 for more information.

  7. Stay the course - remain committed and do what you know is right for you, your team, your clients and your practice.
