Reporting Retention using Redtail Data
Hey Everyone! My firm is looking for an accurate report of retention based on our client data in Redtail. Does anyone know of either a good way to calculate this out, or a good integration solution? We have been calculating it out based on contact status of active vs inactive, but there is a huge probability of human error, given that not everyone remembers to mark a client as inactive. Additionally, sometimes clients transfer out and we don't realize it, so then don't know to mark the client as inactive. Hopefully that makes sense.. But the point is, we don't have a lot of confidence in that method of reporting. Any tips or suggestions are appreciated! Thank you so much!

Joellen, We have a terminated client workflow that goes to the operations team as soon as a client's status is marked inactive. This kicks off fee rebate, removal from communications, removal of G# on Fidelity, add terminated client date (optional field in the contact details). This helps to ensure that it is coded correctly in Redtail. However, if your accounts are linked in redtail you can run an advanced report filtering for clients that have zero balance (or some deminimus amount). See attached image for how we search for former clients by Head of Household that are properly coded but you could easily adjust for any clients.
Engaging Education
Hi Everyone! We have a new ops associate who is eager to learn more about the industry. Would you please share your favorite books, blogs, resources that you would recommend?
Roles and permissions in Redtail
What are best practices when you have two talented client service associates who both want to service all of the clients? How do you handle the assignment of roles in Red Tail? Should the CSAs be assigned to specific clients or should they both work on the entire book? Any feedback is appreciated.

If both CSAs are assigned to the whole book, I suggest using the priority information bc the task list can be sorted based on priority. You can create template activities, ie. recurring tasks like money movement (high priority, #1), account opening, etc. and assign a priority for ad-hoc tasks and also assign both CSA's and to Rachel's point the high priority items are tackled first based on bandwidth (remove the other CSA when you've started a task). If your CSAs are connecting with clients however, it may be better to have them assigned so the client knows their team. In that case, I would try to divide the book based on complexity and service level. For example each CSA receives an equal number of complex and/or high service required clients so they feel equally fulfilled.
Service Segmentation
We are a fast growing firm and want to ensure we continue to provide white-glove service for our clients. However, we recognize that our service model needs to be adjusted for our lower-tiered clients. We send targeted blast emails based on niche tag groups (low-tiered clients with 529 accounts for education funding email), but was wondering what other RIAs have done to create automation for servicing this client segment.
