Rob Knapp has shared his experience of a client centered financial advisor practice. He not only gives the concept, but the actual processes and actions needed to implement. I've implemented Rob's 12/4/2 client contact process and have overhauled my practice for the better. A must read for any financial advisor who cares about his or her clients.

A Useful Tool, Regardless of how you define a perfect client by Loraine F. Fields (Hanover, MA)

Great, step by step process that is easy to implement. My only concern is that it seems most books on Financial Advisors focus on the high net worth individuals and this book is no exception. It provides great ideas for providing superior customer service but I would suggest that all clients deserve great service, regardless of their net worth.

Rob is a passionate and inspirational leader who whole-heartedly believes in doing the right thing and changing lives for the better. If you have the courage to believe and faith to cross the invisible bridge which thousands have already done it can be extremely rewarding both personally and professionally! Rob is an exceptional supporter and encourager to have along throughout this journey. If you believe, it will happen.

It you are a new Financial Advisor, I suggest you read this book. You know how people say "I wish i knew back then what I know now". Well this book is the answer to that question. And the best thing is it is short and to the point. Hey, you could probably write it off too.

Contact is Not Discipline - It's Ritual by Paul R. Garrido (Boston, MA)

5 Stars
February 07, 2008
When Rob Knapp writes about contact not being a discipline, but a ritual, with reference made to Jim Loehr, he is from my perspective, discussing the most useful tool one can deploy in taking oneself to a higher level of performance. Given the foregoing, in my view, this is a must read book, for anyone focused, competitive and driven.
