Why Prospera Financial loves TaskRay

Set and Forget

TaskRay’s ability to create repeatable processes is invaluable in this heavily regulated industry with its multitude of wide-ranging tasks required to serve a client—from making sure contracts are signed to sending flowers when a spouse passes away.

Visibility

Many advisors are not tech savvy, but they love the reporting capabilities TaskRay provides. And TaskRay allows the home office to monitor complex processes at the advisor level.

Communities

TaskRay Communities was a key selling point for Prospera as, 1) the home office uses Communities to onboard their advisors, and 2) their advisors use TaskRay via Communities to save on licensing costs.

Easy Turnover

Because every step in the process is documented in a TaskRay project, training new hires is much less scary in terms of what might be missed.

Ease of Implementation

The Prospera Financial team typically spends less than eight hours per implementation. To ensure fast adoption, they ask their advisor partner to provide their current process and map it into a TaskRay project. Once this step is complete, they move onto training the end user(s).

Support

TaskRay’s support site significantly reduces the need for the Prospera Financial team to provide end-user support.

Creating strong customer relationships through efficiency

How Prospera Uses TaskRay

After evaluating several other customer onboarding / project management solutions, Prospera Financial chose TaskRay because it provides their financial advisor partners with the ability to create repeatable action plans for their clients, ensuring no steps get missed and every “t” is crossed and every “i” dotted no matter how busy they get.

Why TaskRay?

Prospera values servant leadership. This ethos—and the fact that financial services is one of the most heavily regulated businesses in the world—is what led them to use TaskRay to onboard their advisor partners and offer TaskRay as an onboarding project management / client success solution.

While each advisor has their own processes, Prospera is determined to help them become more efficient and not waste time reinventing the wheel in terms of the technology solutions they use to run their business.
