Curious: What CRM are you using — and why?
I’m exploring the advisor tech stack more closely and trying to get a sense of which CRMs are most commonly used in the RIA space. I’m specifically interested because I’m focusing on building automations for advisory firms — and I want to study the platforms you rely on most so I can create meaningful, time-saving workflows (think onboarding, follow-ups, reviews, etc.). Would love to hear what CRM you’re using (e.g., Redtail, Wealthbox, Salesforce, etc.), what you like/don’t like, and where you wish it worked better. Thanks in advance — this will help me focus my study and product development in the right direction.

To add to the pot, Salentica (by BlackDiamond) and Advyzon are decent competitors in the CRM space as well. I find that RIAs who choose Advyzon typically are trying to lower and simplify their costs instead of purchasing both a portfolio management and CRM, but it doesn't mean their UI isn't worth a demo as well!

Hello, Everyone! My name is Michelle and I was born and raised in the D.C. Metro area, but I'm in the process of moving to Windsor, Ontario. I've been in the industry for 14 years in various roles with BDs and RIAs. I was very unsatisfied with the work environment and culture around non-advisor roles and fell in love with the idea of creating a more inclusive environment for the industry as a whole. That's where Nifty came to be in 2018! I'm very passionate about humanizing the talent management process that brings value and scalability for advisors. I look forward to contributing and sharing with you all!

@T.J. Wolfgram Welcome! I'm not from Detroit, but I'm from Maryland that is newly part-time in Windsor, ON. I want to check out Detroit so I would love to stay connected as I live across the water!
Orion Reporting
Hi All, For perspective, I work with RIAs in various capacities and one of our advisors had a question (which I don't think there is a solution for), but I thought I'd toss the question out there anyways. Is there some type of overlay for Orion (or maybe an alternative solution to Orion) for more modern reporting? This particular client works primarily in alternative investments and he does not like how he has to manually input alternative investments into Orion and wishes there was a better or more modern reporting solution that can pull in both held and held away accounts. I'm familiar with solutions like ByAllAccounts, but BAA doesn't have any reporting features do they? It's been awhile since I've used BAA directly. Michelle

I prefer video on! But, all in all, whatever makes them most comfortable 🙂
