Ameriprise Financial outlines a client relationship model centered around a Dream > Plan > Track > approach to financial planning. In the first year, meetings are held to identify objectives, gather client data, analyze the information, propose recommendations, and take action. In subsequent years, annual planning meetings are used to review progress, goals, and make adjustments as needed, while additional checkpoints ensure understanding of the plan and address any changes. The model is a recommendation, and advisors can tailor it to best serve each client relationship.
