as time goes on, your list will get larger, and many contacts with email addresses you collected years ago may stop interacting with you. as your list grows, you may be charged more to maintain a larger list size. as people stop opening your emails, it can affect the deliverability of all of your emails.

these are the reasons why you should periodically clean your email list.

it’s amazing what crms can do these days. as client contact points have grown over the last few decades beyond phone and fax, so have crms’ capabilities to unify client messaging. at the core level, all crms typically allow you to store customer and prospect contact data, such as name, address, company name, titles and so forth. most of them allow you to create custom fields to store things like type of entity, marriage or filing status, and what accounting software they use.

here’s where it starts to get fun.

lesson 1: help clients with what they dislike

although not all clients dislike writing, i’ve found that the majority of professionals in financial fields appreciate getting help with their writing. what took me a while to learn was the degree to which many wanted help, and what worked the best was to provide sample letters, emails and marketing materials that were as close to their situation and as complete as possible.
