For both types of scheme, the client declaration process, at renewal and throughout the year, is time consuming for you. You have to spend unnecessary time looking through files to identify which clients are on the scheme, which have paid and which are not covered. When an investigation arises, this adds to the complexity as you again have to check with your records and CCH have to qualify if the client is covered and if they are on your scheme. 19 CCH Fee Protection – Marketing your scheme Marketing the scheme is time consuming – it takes up too much fee earning and practice management time for the financial reward it delivers. It costs you money and you would rather not do it, but feel you need to own the relationship with your client. You also want to set the tone of the material and make sure it isn’t too ‘hard sell’. You do not have the marketing infrastructure in place to make the sales effort efficient 20 21 CCH Fee Protection We are working closely with our colleagues in Fee Protection to ensure these areas we have identified are covered.
