03/10/2010 Advanced CRM Features To Improve Your Firm’s Efficiency and Service

How can your CRM enable you to measure client profitability? How can your CRM improve your client on-boarding process, reduce your liability exposure, and organize records for regulators?

Advisor Products has asked Ebix CRM (formerly EZ Data) to demo its SmartOffice system at this webinar. While little known among RIAs, SmartOffice is used by more than 120,000 advisors, most of whom are affiliated with insurers and BDs. This web-based CRM contains many advanced features. (For instance, it can identify opportunities for you to deepen relationships with existing clients.)

SmartOffice is integrated with many advisor applications, including the Advisor Products Client Portal Platform. Speaker Chris Aitkens is senior director of Sales at Pasadena, CA based Ebix CRM (formerly EZ Data Inc.). Ebix Inc. (NASDAQ: EBIX), which acquired EZ Data in October 2009, administers in excess of $100 billion in insurance premiums on its platforms annually.
