Welcome to "Flow & Tell"

Picture this: a prospective client fills in your webform at 8:47 p.m. They’re curious, cautious, and half-expecting their enquiry to sit in an inbox overnight. Maybe someone replies tomorrow… maybe not. In the meantime, their interest cools. Now imagine instead: within seconds they receive a warm, branded welcome email, a clear booking link to the correct adviser’s calendar, all without a single staff member lifting a finger. That’s the difference automation makes. At Captegra, we believe client onboarding shouldn’t feel like filling out forms; it should feel like the start of a great conversation. Why Automating Introductions Matters First impressions count. Harvard research says it takes just seven seconds for someone to form an impression. Online, the clock starts the moment that form is submitted. Automation ensures you don’t waste that moment as your prospective client feels acknowledged right away. Time is money. Every manual reply is time that could have been spent advising. McKinsey found that workflow automation can cut process time by up to 60%. That’s not just efficiency, it’s reclaiming billable hours. Consistency is king. Left to chance, onboarding looks different depending on who’s handling it. With automation, every client gets the same high-quality, on-brand welcome, whether it’s 9 a.m. or 9 p.m. The Journey: From Webform to Welcome 1. The Webform Your website or LinkedIn form captures the essentials: name, email, service interest. But keep it short as research shows 3 - 5 fields hit the sweet spot for completions. (Nobody enjoys filling out a mini tax return on the first date.) 2. Instant Confirmation The form triggers Captegra. Behind the scenes it checks: Is this a new prospect or an existing client? What’s the right next step? Then it sends the client a tailored welcome email, maybe even including a booking link. 3. Booking Integration No back-and-forth emails. The welcome email can contain a live booking link synced to adviser calendars, time zones, and availability. Captegra can even match the right adviser to the right client, based on data in the form, then send the appropriate link. 4. Team Notifications Your team is notified instantly. Advisers can prepare with context, so meetings feel personal, not generic. 5. Pre-Meeting Automation Clients receive a reminder, a “what to expect” guide, and optional resources like a financial planning checklist. It’s professional, reassuring, and saves everyone from awkward “so what happens now?” moments. Benefits for Financial Planning Firms 1. Real Time-Wealth Efficiency No more inbox-watching.

Competitive Edge In a crowded market, firms using automation simply look more modern, responsive, and client-focused. That attracts trust, and referrals.
