When high-net-worth clients go quiet, it’s often a sign they’re preparing to leave. This firm used Einstein Discovery to identify the early signals — and saved over $40M in assets.
The Challenge
Small Wealth Management Firm (approx. 20 employees) was facing a critical issue: Missed signs of disengaged clients. This challenge wasn’t just an operational nuisance—it was costing them valuable opportunities, time, and in many cases, client trust.
How We Solved It
Using Salesforce’s Financial Services Cloud, Einstein Discovery, CRM Analytics, we designed a solution where Einstein Discovery in FSC analyzed behavioral churn signals. This was then put into practice by ensuring Advisors were alerted before high-risk client exits, significantly improving the retention rate.
What This Replaced
Previously, this process was entirely human-powered. It relied on Manual churn detection via CRM history, or "gut feel", often leading to delays, errors, or inconsistent results.
By automating and enhancing this workflow, the team unlocked more capacity and accuracy.
The Result
The estimated value created from this change: $40M AUM retained (~$400K+ annual revenue).
~2,500 HNW clients
1.5% reduction in churn = 37 clients retained
Avg. AUM/client = $1.2M
≈ $40M AUM retained, ~$400K+ annual revenue protected (1% fee basis)
Could This Be You?
