<b>1. Celebrate </b>
Send a note, email or text of congratulations for both financial and non-financial victories.
<b>2. Notice</b>
Be aware of the details - both about a client's presence and about your own offerings. Female clients usually appreciate nuance, so take the time to give them something to notice.
<b>3. Commit </b>
Pledge to better serve your female clients. Take the time to ask questions about their lives, dreams and goals.
<b>4. Educate </b>
Women want advisors who can help them learn. Be sure you are not talking down to female clients and prospects; instead, get to know their level of understanding and empower them.
<b>5. Create</b>
Develop memorable events or experiences for your top female clients to thank them for their business. To meet the next generation, suggest that clients bring their daughters, as well.
<b>6. Invite Her Spouse</b>
Be sure to ask female married clients to attend all meetings with their spouses. If you're not getting input from both partners, you're missing out.
<b>7. Mediate</b>
Women in couples sometimes need help settling differences. Take the time to hear both spouses' sides of a story, and let them come to an understanding.
