Advisors have a relatively brief window of time to communicate their value to prospective clients. Many prospects ask friends and professionals for recommendations, browse a few firm websites, and typically interview only one or two advisors before deciding whom to hire.

By 2027, for example, 17% of total cyberattacks will involve the use of Gen AI, according to Gartner 1.
