Implementation guide · Follow-Up & Automation Systems
A prospective client contacts the firm with a financial goal, transition, or concern and expects a credible response. The operating path must prepare the adviser with useful context while keeping suitability, advice, product discussion, and client acceptance with qualified people. This guide isolates how reputation management should behave at that moment rather than treating the entire operation as one automation project. Request honest feedback at an appropriate completed-service moment, route private concerns responsibly, and preserve platform and customer-choice boundaries. For this financial planning and advisory firm, the job must use the practice or firm's approved language, records, ownership, and professional boundaries.

The operating path must prepare the adviser with useful context while keeping suitability, advice, product discussion, and client acceptance with qualified people. This guide isolates how reputation management should behave at that moment rather than treating the entire operation as one automation project.
Request honest feedback at an appropriate completed-service moment, route private concerns responsibly, and preserve platform and customer-choice boundaries. For this financial planning and advisory firm, the job must use the practice or firm's approved language, records, ownership, and professional boundaries. Advisers and authorized firm staff retain financial judgment, suitability, advice, recommendations, disclosures, scope, and client acceptance. The configured system may prepare and coordinate the conversation but must not act as an adviser or decide what is appropriate.
Run one de-identified or synthetic prospective-advisory inquiry through the configured path and verify that eligible customers receive one neutral request, customer choice remains intact, concerns reach a person, and exclusions and opt-outs are respected. Record the expected state, actual state, exception owner, and corrective action before release. Do not release or continue the automated path when the prospect asks for advice, a recommendation, suitability judgment, account action, disclosure interpretation, or an unapproved sensitive-data exchange, or when service completion, permission, platform policy, customer eligibility, concern ownership, or neutral request language cannot be verified. Preserve the record and route the case to the named human owner.
Trace one recent prospect from first inquiry through adviser preparation, consultation, permissioned follow-up, and a recorded disposition. For Review Growth System, also review eligible completions, requests, exclusions, delivery, feedback routes, opt-outs, staff responses, and documented closure without promising ratings. This is an implementation control, not a performance claim. Validate it with the business's own recent records, approved policies, synthetic or de-identified test cases, and named human reviewers before release.
