See What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

Dave Becker, ChFC® |

Research shows that a good relationship with your financial advisor has a greater impact on staying with them than how well your investments are performing. The foundation of that relationship is trust.

At Keystone Wealth Management, we constantly strive to gain and maintain our clients’ trust. That’s why I recently conducted an anonymous client survey. I made the responses anonymous so clients were free to respond as transparently as possible. I was happy to see that clients rated integrity and truthfulness as my top attributes. In fact, on a scale of 1 to 100, with 1 representing the lowest score for integrity and truthfulness and 100 representing the highest, my clients gave me an average score of 97.46!

Some of the comments included in the survey: “I have always trusted Dave’s advice and knowledge,” “He’s very interested, responsive, trustworthy,” and “He is on top of it and always looking out for me.”

While I’m very grateful for these positive remarks, research shows that trust goes both ways. As a client, the relationship we build allows me to learn more about you, your goals, and your dreams, which in turn helps me provide guidance that aligns with your values and aspirations.

Let’s take a look at other questions in the survey:

What the Survey Shows

Right behind trustworthiness, clients gave both myself and Sharyl Weich, my assistant, high scores for professionalism. Sharyl’s average score was 94.71 and mine was 97.41 (again, using a scale of 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest)).

Sharyl’s Survey Results

Sharyl has also made a good impression on many clients beyond her helpfulness and professionalism. Here are the rest of her results:

  • Friendliness: 94.75
  • Responsiveness to Questions: 95.25
  • Knowledge of Service Issues: 92.33

Dave’s Survey Results

Here are some additional results for Dave:

  • Responsiveness to Client Questions: 92.78
  • Investment Knowledge: 94.35
  • Investment Monitoring: 94.48
  • Communication/Proactive Outreach: 91.29
  • Overall Level of Service: 94.66

These are humbling numbers, and I will continue striving to raise those scores even higher!

Surveys Help Us Continually Improve

With this survey in mind, Keystone Wealth Management will continue to learn from client comments and inch closer to a score of 100 in all categories. We aim to provide the best comprehensive financial planning, income planning, education planning, and retirement planning. We also help with 401(k) rollovers, Social Security analysis, and Roth IRA conversion analysis, to name a few. 

Our goal is not merely to have high scores to boast about but to offer services and guidance that allow our clients to reach their financial goals and live life to the fullest.

We thank our clients for recognizing our efforts, and we promise to use this feedback to grow and excel as we move forward.
