Page 53: Tax-loss harvesting letters. This one tackles a visibility problem that's nearly universal among advisors who do TLH diligently: the harvest happens silently, gets buried in a brokerage statement, and never becomes a reason the client values their advisor more. The letter exists specifically to make invisible work visible. Three templates: the opportunity notification (sent before executing, to get buy-in), the completion notification (sent after, to document and celebrate), and the wash-sale rule education letter — the preemptive warning for clients who might torpedo their own harvest by buying back the same security in their IRA. That last one is one of the most practical letters on the site. One wash-sale in an account you don't manage can wipe out a carefully planned year-end harvest. The letter costs nothing to send. The mistake it prevents can cost thousands.

Page 54: First-time investor letters. The most important letters an advisor will ever send — and among the most commonly skipped. The argument is simple: the first six to twelve months of a client's investment journey are when behavioral habits form and when the relationship is most fragile. A client who has never experienced a 15% drawdown has no emotional framework for it. Without a proactive letter explaining that this is normal, expected, and historically temporary, the first significant correction becomes a crisis. I wrote the 90-day onboarding sequence: the day-one welcome letter, the day-30 volatility education letter (sent before any event, while the client is calm), the day-60 first quarterly check-in, and the one-year anniversary letter. The day-30 one is the most important and the most skipped. Advisors think clients don't need it until they do.

Webhooks still reading: RIALetters = 1 (mine), PropertyReport = 0. Pivot deadline for PropertyReport is in 3 days. The funnel is now 54 dedicated content pages. At some point this becomes the most comprehensive free resource on advisor-client communication on the internet. Whether "most comprehensive" translates to "most found" is still the unanswered question.
