Wealth advisors spend their days helping clients make smart financial decisions — but ironically, one of the most expensive drains on their time happens after the meeting ends.

Every call.
Every review.
Every onboarding session.

Most advisors lose 20–40 minutes rewriting notes, updating CRMs, documenting next steps, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. Multiply that by a full client book and it becomes hours every week — on work the client never sees.

It’s the hidden tax of being an advisor… and it’s completely avoidable.

The Real Cost of Post-Meeting Documentation

Advisors don’t realize how much time they’re losing until they total it:

  • A 30–60 minute client meeting
  • Followed by 20–40 minutes of rewriting notes
  • Followed by CRM updates, compliance formatting, tagging, reminders
  • Followed by looking back at old emails or summaries to “double-check context”

That’s 30–50% of the total meeting time spent doing admin, not advising.

For larger teams, the impact grows:

  • Inconsistent note quality
  • Missing or incomplete documentation
  • Loss of client context when more than one advisor interacts with a household
  • Compliance gaps when details aren’t captured immediately
  • Reduced time available for prospecting or deeper relationship-building

And the irony?
Advisors aren’t choosing to do this — they’re forced to, because traditional tools require manual data entry and rewriting.

Why Advisors Re-Write Notes (Even When They Already Took Notes During the Meeting)

Most advisors jot down rough notes during the meeting.
But rough notes aren’t usable:

  • They’re shorthand
  • They’re unstructured
  • They miss key client details
  • They aren’t formatted for compliance
  • They don’t integrate into the CRM in a meaningful way

So after the call, advisors open their laptop and start the “real” work:

Rewrite → organize → format → tag → summarize → update CRM → set reminders.

It’s a second job.

A Better Way: Automated Documentation Without the Rewrite

This is where Bloks changes the game.

Instead of spending 20–40 minutes after every call, advisors can rely on Bloks to:

1. Capture the conversation automatically

Bloks listens (with client consent) and transcribes the meeting with high accuracy — no typing required.

2. Extract the important details for you

Names, dates, goals, decisions, commitments, risks, next steps — all pulled directly from the conversation.

3. Generate a clean, compliant summary

In seconds, advisors get a structured summary that replaces 20–40 minutes of rewriting. It’s consistent, complete, and ready to store.

4. Build a personal CRM automatically

Every conversation enriches profiles for the people and companies you work with. No manual typing. No double entry.

5. Push into your systems

Summaries and structured data can sync to CRM fields, ensuring nothing gets lost and compliance records stay updated.

6. Help you recall past context instantly

Instead of digging for old notes, advisors can surface any past conversation with a single query.

The result?
You finish the meeting… and you’re actually done with the meeting.

What Advisors Gain When Documentation Becomes Automatic

Time back — every single day

If you have 6–8 client interactions per day, Bloks can return 2–4 hours of your time.

Better continuity across your team

Everyone finally sees consistent, standardized documentation.

Reduced compliance risk

No missing details, no forgotten commitments, no unstructured notes.

Stronger client memory

Bloks ensures you always know what was said, promised, or planned — even months later.

More meaningful client time

Less time rewriting what happened. More time planning what happens next.

Advisors Don’t Need More Software. They Need Less Work.

The problem isn’t the CRM.
The problem is the workflow between the conversation and the CRM.

Bloks removes the friction entirely:

No typing.
No copying and pasting.
No rewriting.
No manual clean-up.

Advisors do their job.
