Meridian Wealth Partners
Meridian Wealth Partners — a 3 offices wealth management firm with 12 advisors managing $480M in AUM — was losing an estimated $34,000/month in monthly revenue through missed inbound opportunities, slow prospect response, and inconsistent advisor follow-up. The managing partner had no visibility into which prospects were being lost or why. After a 90-day deployment of TELEGENT AI™ the Business Impact Platform™, the firm recovered +$408K/yr in annual revenue, accelerated prospect response from 4.2 hours to 38 seconds, improved its Revenue Recovery Score™ from 64 to 88, and achieved a 12.5× ROI with payback in just 18 days. Advisors now spend 31% more time with clients instead of chasing leads — and the firm captured +$31M in net new AUM in new assets.
Performance Transformation
The Challenge
With 12 advisors across 3 offices and $480M in AUM, Meridian Wealth Partners appeared successful from the outside. Internally, the managing partner suspected meaningful revenue leakage but had no data to quantify it. Prospects were contacting the firm and disappearing — with no system to track why or where they went.
- Missed inbound opportunities — 23 high-net-worth inquiries per month received no response within the first 24 hours, and 8 received no follow-up at all
- Slow lead response — average 4.2-hour response time on qualified inbound prospects; industry benchmarks show conversion rates drop 8× after the first hour
- Inconsistent advisor follow-up — 12 advisors each using their own process (or none), with zero standardization across offices; some leads touched once, others 11 times with no pattern
- No executive visibility into lead performance — managing partner unable to answer: which advisor converts best, which marketing channel produces qualified leads, or how many prospects went to competitors
- Competitive displacement — 3 competing firms in the Chicago metro captured an estimated $1.8M in AUM from prospects who contacted Meridian first but received no timely follow-up

ROI Analysis
"As a fiduciary, my first duty is to my clients. But I realized we were failing prospects before they even became clients — we were silent when they reached out, slow when they needed answers, and invisible to the ones who chose a competitor. TELEGENT AI changed that overnight. Our AI engages every prospect within 40 seconds, routes them to the right advisor based on what they actually need, and I get a briefing every morning showing me exactly what's happening across all three offices. We recovered $408,000 in annual revenue we were leaving on the table — and our advisors are spending 31% more time actually advising clients instead of chasing paper. This isn't software. It's the operating system for a modern wealth management practice."
