The CSM is the main contact for all client calls –inbound and outbound. Most clients are calling in with simple requests, like checking account balance(s), requesting a withdrawal, beneficiary information, to schedule an appointment or requesting tax documents –these should all be handled by the CSM.
If a client asks for the advisor –and the advisor is unavailable –ask if this is something they think you can handle. 90% of the time the CSM can take care of the clients’ needs.
If the client wants to take a withdrawal –verify the account the assets are to be withdrawn from –verify any tax withholding if applicable –email the advisor if trades need to be placed or if it’s a CT account submit a ‘Money Out” form in CRM. Some advisors may want to talk to the client if the withdrawal is a larger amount (e.g$20,000) –they can assist with what account to pull the assets from; or if the withdrawal is to fund another retirement account outside of FE –they can talk to the client and try and retain the assets. Meeting Preparation, prepping any reports, apps, or forms that will be needed for the meeting. Since the CSM is more likely to have scheduled the meeting –they will know what is needed.
An Annual Review report/plan will need to be created through Advisor View. Try and prepare this the day prior to the meeting with the client so the Advisor has time to review. If prospect signs up during first meeting –prepare paperwork, highlight information client needs to complete and give to advisor.

Statements that are given to advisor during the first meeting will define what new account forms are necessary to complete prefill the application and transfer forms ahead of time –complete as much information as possible on each form.

Is the client looking to start making withdrawals from their account(s)?If so, prepare either Money Link paperwork or IRA Distribution forms –depending on what type of account they wish to withdrawal from.
For all meetings–Verify the beneficiaries the client has for each account (this is usually done while creating the Annual Review plan). If you see an Individual or Joint account that doesn’t have beneficiaries designated, prepare Designated Plan Beneficiary Transfer of Death (TOD) form and have the client sign during the meeting. With these types of accounts, if no beneficiary is listed, the account will have to go through the Probate process is the client dies.
Review Client File for Compliance Docs–Review the client’s file the day before to ensure all required compliance documents are present and signed. If not, prepare in advance so the advisor can have the client’s sign during the meeting. (IMA, Investor Discovery, Score Sheet, and if applicable a Solicitor’s Agreement, Unmanaged Securities Letter)6 Confidential:
The CSM is responsible for tracking all transfers that a client has requested (this includes rollovers from employer plans). Transfers initiated by Charles Schwab Transfer forms:
Once a client signs a transfer form –make a task for yourself in CRM to follow up in 2 weeks (typical turnaround time) to ensure the transfer was processed correctly and that it was completed as expected. Check Charles Schwab daily for any alerts that you may have received regarding your transfer(s). If you receive an alert, follow up with the requested information that Schwab needs to process. There are some instances where the other financial institution requires their own paperwork to complete the request.
When the transfer has been processed –contact the client and let them know that we received the assets and that (Advisor) will invest the funds accordingly within the portfolio they discussed. Give them the amount of the transfer and the date it was received.
Typically, the Advisor will initiate a rollover during the meeting while the client is present. The Advisor will initiate a conference call to request the required forms to start the rollover process. Some companies allow the rollover to be processed over the phone; some required their own paperwork (verify if the forms can be faxed back for processing) or they have to mail the client the forms needed.
The CSM will follow up with the client within 2 weeks and ask if they received the check (some companies will only mail the check directly to the participant versus us) –and if they did –ask them to mail the check to you with the envelope that the Advisor gave them during their meeting. The client will be thankful for your continued follow up with them.
If the check gets mailed directly to our office we will contact the client and let them know we received their check from (xyz rollover company) and that we will overnight the check to Charles Schwab for processing and that we will send them a copy of the check in the mail.
