Your contacts, with their company, deal stage and last activity. Example data.
Rodok keeps prospects, referral sources and next steps in one pipeline, with email and calendar on every record. Built around how financial services firms actually sell, so you start from your own stages instead of a blank page.
Your pipeline, in your stages
Deals move through the stages financial services firms actually use. Drag a deal, and its forecast and reports follow.
Example data.
The whole CRM, not just the pipeline. Contacts, companies, tasks, email, automations, chat and the lead finder, in one app.
01Find
People from one sentence
Describe who you sell to. Rodok finds them by role, company size and city, with their work email, and sets apart the ones already in your CRM.

Start with ProA CRM for financial services tracks the people and companies you hope to serve, from the first referral to a funded account, with the next step and its date on every record. It is the sales side of the business. It is not your core system, your compliance tool or your portfolio platform, and it should not try to be.
How selling works in financial services
"Financial services" covers a lot: wealth managers, commercial lenders, equipment finance, payments and fintech sales teams, insurance-adjacent advisors. What they share is a long, trust-based sale. Nobody moves money or a credit relationship after one call. Referrals from accountants, attorneys and existing clients matter more than ads.
If you are an independent advisor, see CRM for financial advisors. This page is for firms and teams, including those selling financial products to companies.
Stages named the way the industry names them:
| Stage | What happens | Next step to log |
|---|---|---|
| Prospect | A name from a referral or outreach | First call |
| Discovery meeting | You learn goals, structure and constraints | Send a fact-find or request documents |
| Proposal | Terms, fees or a credit structure presented | Follow up on the decision date |
| Onboarding paperwork | Applications, agreements, identity checks | Chase the missing signatures |
| Funded | Account opened or loan closed | Schedule the first review |
Rodok holds the stage, the amount, the next step and every email.
What to look for in a CRM
- Referral source on every contact. Know which accountant or attorney sends you business, so you can thank them and send work back.
- Companies and people linked. An owner, the CFO and the outside advisor are three people at three firms.
- Email on the record. The history of a long sale is in your inbox. It should sit with the contact.
- Tasks with dates. "Review after year end" is a real financial services follow-up and should pop up on the day.
- Roles and permissions. Not everyone needs to see every client.
- A data-protection posture you can explain. Many financial firms are covered by rules about customer information. The FTC's Safeguards Rule applies to non-bank financial institutions such as mortgage brokers, tax preparers and non-federally insured credit unions, and requires a written security program with a qualified individual and a risk assessment (FTC: Safeguards Rule). Ask your compliance lead what applies to you before you load client data into any tool.
Signals worth watching
Public events that often come before a business looks for a lender, advisor or new provider. Each tracker is a sentence you type into Rodok Pro, which sees LinkedIn posts, job changes, hiring and company news.
- A funding round. Tracker: "companies announcing a funding round in (your region)". See funding round.
- A new CFO or finance leader. Tracker: "CFOs, controllers and heads of finance who started a new role in the last 90 days at companies with 20 to 500 employees". See new executive.
- A company opens a new location. Tracker: "companies announcing a new office or plant in (your region)". Expansion often needs financing. See new office or market.
- A leadership change. Tracker: "founders and CEOs announcing they are stepping down or handing over the company". Ownership changes raise questions about succession and wealth. See leadership change.
- A request for a recommendation. Tracker: "posts asking for a wealth manager, lender or commercial banker recommendation". See recommendation request.
Promotion rules vary by license and country. Check what you may say.
A first message example
An example, with made-up names:
Subject: Congratulations on the Series B Hi Anita, saw that Calder Logistics announced its Series B last week. Congratulations. When a round closes, treasury and a working capital line often get a second look. We work with companies of your size on exactly that. If a short call would be useful, I am glad to share how others have set it up. If not, no worries.
Where Rodok fits and where it does not
Rodok Starter is $29 a month for 3 seats: companies, people, deals, tasks, Gmail and Outlook sync, a calendar, booking links, reports and team chat. Pro is $79 a month for 3 seats and adds LinkedIn signals, the lead database, sequences and AI.
It suits firms that sell to businesses more than firms serving walk-in households. It does not archive communications for regulators, run KYC or AML checks, or connect to custodians, loan systems or accounting packages. If your firm must retain messages for a regulator, confirm that with your compliance team before you rely on any CRM for it.
Frequently asked questions
Do financial services firms need a CRM?
If your business grows through referrals and long conversations, yes. The value is a clear record of who referred whom, what you promised and when to follow up.
Is a CRM the same as a client portal or portfolio system?
No. A CRM manages the work you have not won yet. Portals, custodians and loan systems run accounts after they open.
Can I put client data in a sales CRM?
That depends on your regulator, your policies and what the data is. Ask your compliance lead first, and keep sensitive account details in the systems built for them.
