The Efficient Advisor: Tactical Business Advice for Financial Planners
Ever wish you knew an Advisor who built a 7-figure practice--while only working 3 days a week--that was willing to share her systems, processes, and business hacks with you? Meet the Efficient Advisor Podcast host Libby Greiwe. Her specialty? Breaking down the functions of a financial planning practice into actionable step-by-step processes designed to get you results and get you out of overwhelm. Expert interviews, done-for-you templates, and easy to implement solutions… all tied together by her MISSION to create ease in your business. She promises to deliver actionable step-by-step solutions you can implement right away to save time, money, and frustration. The goal--to lead you from overwhelm to efficiency. She started her own financial planning business in 2004. And, over the years she scaled into a 7-figure single-advisor firm while working only 25-hours a week so she could be super involved while raising her kiddos and loving on her hubby. She knows what it takes to build a 100% referral-only practice and to not have to GRIND out the hours to be successful. She ran her own planning business for 16 years culminating in a sale to an enterprise firm in 2019. Now, she’s simply just obsessed with helping other amazing advisors do the same thing. So if you’re an advisor who’s got the hang of planning and is now looking to grow to that first 500k of take-home pay… you are in the right place!

249: Impact Score: Rate Your Client Service Model
Are you doing things in your business just because you think you're supposed to? Too often, financial advisors continue running the same client service playbook without questioning its true value. In this episode, we introduce an unconventional KPI—your Impact Score—to help you evaluate whether your client service efforts are making a real difference. By measuring both impact and effort, you can determine if it’s time to refine your approach, shift your focus, or even cut out initiatives that no longer serve your clients.
Key takeaways from this episode:
- How to use the Impact Score (1-4 scale) to evaluate meetings, webinars, events, and client touchpoints
- Why some of your long-standing service offerings may no longer be as valuable as you think
- The power of "killing your darlings"—eliminating low-impact, high-effort activities to free up resources
- A step-by-step process to audit your service calendar and maximize value for your clients
- How to shift your time and energy toward more high-impact activities that create real client engagement
By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear framework to assess whether your efforts are truly moving the needle or if it’s time to redirect that energy elsewhere. Let’s make sure every touchpoint in your client experience is purposeful, impactful, and worth your time!
