Many advisors aspire to work with high net worth clients. However, this is certainly a competitive market since these clients will have more assets and require more sophisticated strategies and advice. Additionally, high net worth clients will be more demanding in terms of time and the type of services provided. And, it will be more difficult to retain these clients as other advisors may look to poach them.

Yet, there are some methods that you can apply to increase your chances of success. The first step is to have a specialized niche such as estate planning or tax management or even focusing on a particular profession such as doctors or lawyers. Offering specific and specialized services and advice is likely to appeal to high net worth clients and increase your chances of referrals.

Once you’ve picked a niche, the next step is to refine your message and brand. In part, this is about figuring out your unique value proposition relative to other advisors. This includes how you do business, and how you communicate with clients. Often, high net worth clients value regular communication, appreciate being offered a variety of options, and want to gain a deeper understanding of the reasoning behind advice offered.
