Why do you need Redtail Speak for client communication?

In October of 2017, Redtail announced Redtail Speak, a compliance-friendly, real-time communication platform for financial advisors. The first of its kind, Speak is embedded directly in Redtail CRM and enables advisors to communicate with clients safely and securely via text messages, while remaining compliant with all federal rules and regulations. This includes adhering to FINRA’s new regulatory notice that states that all text messaging conversations must be recorded. With Speak, every conversation, message and document is fully searchable and automatically archived, recorded daily and shared with the advisor’s email surveillance provider, offering advisors a safe, compliance-approved way to communicate with their clients. As clients increasingly come to expect real-time communication, Speak’s game changing software enables advisors to meet that demand.

Additionally, the solution empowers advisors to communicate directly with colleagues via chat, without ever leaving Redtail’s CRM. This capability facilitates a more collaborative environment by providing team members with access to the same communication thread, eliminating bottlenecks. Ultimately, this decreases advisors’ business costs, increases efficiencies and provides advisors with a higher-level of service as they get more time to focus on their clients.

Recent studies tell us that 99% of texts get read and get a response within three minutes. According to Constant Contact’s February 2018 numbers, emails, by contrast, are only opened an average of 17.62% of the time across all industries and, if they are responded to at all, it’s highly unlikely to occur within that three-minute timeframe.

Texting is not just the default medium with the young either. Even those in the 55+ age bracket are texting at a rate of around 500 messages a month, which should prompt the resounding conclusion that the time is NOW to incorporate texting into your communications arsenal in a way that meets regulatory and compliance requirements!

If you don’t have a compliant means of texting with your clients, you’re going to increasingly find that you don’t even have the ante to sit down at the table with them.
