At One Wealth Advisors, a primary driver behind the growth of our business has been from client referrals. Our philosophy has been that the more we focus on client service and planning, the more clients might be inclined to introduce us to a friend, family member or any other individual in their network.

As the resident technology lead at One Wealth Advisors, last week I had the opportunity to attend the Coachella of tech conferences: Dreamforce. Dreamforce is sponsored by Salesforce, a company that builds Client Relationship Management (CRM) systems for organizations, including OWA.

This weekend, I waited in line for two hours at the Heath Ceramics store in Sausalito for a rare factory sale. Products that were not quite up to store standards were discounted, making the set of four coffee mugs I purchased slightly more reasonably priced.
I was recently reading about SpaceX’s most recent rocket launch where they were able to “catch” a large rocket booster, which had never been done before (and maybe only recently contemplated). Regardless of how one might feel about Elon Musk, we can probably most agree that he is, if anything, bold. Reading this news and thinking about Elon Musk’s boldness made me think about the act of demystification, an experience that literally 100 percent of all human beings have had.
