Working With You
At the Sartori Morales Group we have a three-step process for determining whether we share a mutual connection with prospective clients and if we would work well together.
Step One: A Casual Introduction
There’s no need to bring any statements to this meeting. We first want to get to know you and your values. We have a conversation about what your needs are and ensure we connect on an individual level. Robert and JohnPaul will also discuss their background and how they are compensated.
Step Two: Dive into the Weeds
Your statements will be important for this meeting. Your financial resources and goals will be discussed to develop a plan that is unique to you and your needs.
Step Three: Implementation Begins
Once we present our plan and you agree to entrust us with your assets, we’ll begin logistical steps to formally start implementation, like account transfers and paperwork. We also set expectations for what you can expect moving forward – such as how often you prefer to check-in and how you like to be contacted.
Step Four: Monitor & Adjust
Life changes and we want to be by your side every step of the journey. We will conduct ongoing reviews to ensure our strategy adapts to ever-changing financial conditions and changes in your personal life. As your goals evolve we will adjust your strategy to help make sure you stay on the right track.
