Asset Management: Integrate MOPS with Sales Ops
Unite Marketing Operations and Sales Operations to grow net flows and share of wallet. Standardize wholesaler workflows, compliant content, and pipeline KPIs across institutional, intermediary, and direct channels—aligned to FINRA/SEC supervision.
Direct Answer
Asset managers integrate MOPS with Sales Ops by sharing one operating model for territory planning, campaign-to-meeting routing, compliant content delivery, and pipeline attribution. MOPS drives signal capture (research downloads, webinar intent, fund screeners) and plays (education→meeting→allocation), while Sales Ops owns coverage (RIA/wirehouse/retirement), account plans, and stage hygiene. Both teams use the same taxonomy, disclosures, and archives to meet FINRA/SEC rules. Outcomes: more meetings, faster cycles, higher net flows.

Asset Manager Integration Playbook
Use this sequence to move from activity reporting to allocation impact.
Define → Instrument → Engage → Convert → Advance → Allocate → Retain
- Define coverage & SLAs: Territories, key accounts, and consultant lists; response times for meetings, RFPs, and DDQs.
- Instrument identity & content: First-party analytics, consent & preferences, CRM content library (factsheets, commentaries, pitchbooks) with version control and archives.
- Engage by signal: Research/library downloads, portfolio tool usage, webinar attendance; trigger wholesaler tasks and drip sequences.
- Convert to meetings: Meeting scheduler, agenda templates, and suitability checks; sync notes and next steps to opportunities.
- Advance opportunities: Stage definitions (Evaluation, Approved List, Mandate), required activities, and approval gates.
- Allocate & track flows: Record allocation decisions, custodial tickets/trades, and AUM inflow/outflow by channel and strategy.
- Retain & expand: Quarterly reviews, new share classes/models, and cross-fund education; monitor redemptions and swing factors.
