Keeping Alumni Connected

Keeping Alumni Connected

Client Instant Access’s motto is “getting your message across.”  It has served as a good summation for our mission as a company and reflects client needs that are widespread across many industries and areas.

One popular use where our products help organizations get their messages across is the use by Alumni Groups to help keep members connected.  Often after finishing high school or college, it is easy to fall out of contact and forget about one’s alma mater. Products like Blast Voicemail and an Integrated CRM Dialer can alleviate this issue by connecting schools and former students more easily.

Using Blast Voicemail with accumulated contact lists of past students who have graduated gives schools a great opportunity to contact their former students and invite them to upcoming alumni events.  It also makes solicitation of donations easier because every single person in a class will be contacted. This increases the likelihood of receiving donations and results in an increase in the school’s endowment.

Blast Voicemail can also lead to improved relationships with alumni. By scheduling, blast calls to alumni about upcoming sporting events, reunions, and fundraisers educational institutions are able to help alumni stay more involved and perhaps increase donations.  Alums can also benefit indirectly from blast voicemail since better attendance at reunions and events will lead to increased networking opportunities and growth in connections.

A CRM Dialer benefits in a similar way to Blast Voicemail because it allows schools to reach out to a vast amount of alumni in a fraction of the time.  In addition, a CRM Dialer is often used toward the raising of money, since there is an actual phone call being placed directly.  If an alumnus is reinforced with numerous Blast Voicemails and CRM Dialer related communications there can be a significant improvement in the relationship that can lead to increased donations.

Client Instant Access Solutions That Can Integrate With Your CRM

When the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) takes effect on January 1, 2018, financial services firms with offices anywhere in the EU will need to comply with its requirements.

The Challenge of Supervision and Compliance

As part of MiFID II, firms providing investment advice or portfolio management will no longer be able to accept any type of benefit – monetary or not – from third parties in relation to client service, due to the real or perceived conflict of interest such as payments can create.

Firms offering research services will need to properly document all communications in order to properly charge for services. However, many firms are struggling with the requirement to supervise employees’ communications for compliance. MiFID II is clear that organizations will need to take a risk-based approach to capture and supervising not only written communications but also voice calls.

Solutions Designed to Help Firms Comply

Complying with MiFID II is not optional. Fortunately, Client Instant Access (CIA) has tools that can help.

Integrated CRM Dialer

Firms that use CIA’s Integrated CRM Dialer tool are able to demonstrate compliance because the tool captures more than just who was called and when the call occurred.

In addition to creating efficiencies and enhancing professionalism, a CRM Dialer allows callers to keep notes for each call. Firms can use these notes to document the substance of the call, helping substantiate determinations about whether the discussion was research-related or not.

Blast Voice Mail

CIA’s Blast Voice Mail solution can also help firms comply with MIFID II by using our intuitive web-based tool to record and send pre-recorded messages. Because the content of such messages is preserved, it’s easier for firms to confirm their compliance with the rule’s mandates.
