Process:
Our initial conversation will have one goal: to learn about your practice, your clients, and your requirements in a new broker dealer. We will start with our list of over 75 quality broker dealers. We will then create a short list of broker dealers to recommend for your consideration. Based on your initial feedback, we will then have initial, confidential conversations with these firms to see if there may be a good fit. Then next step is to arrange phone conversations with these broker dealers. We then narrow the list down to a hand full of firms and set up face to face meetings either at the home office or near the candidate's location, whatever is most convenient for the candidate. With the firms that are of most interest, we will work with the firms to get competitive offers together and present them to the candidate.
We will work with you every step of the way as your "agent" to work through the firm information, schedule calls and meetings, and give you advice on which offers may be more attractive. Whenever possible we would like to attend the meetings with you so that we can represent you as best as possible. We will do a "pros and cons" analysis or help you spreadsheet the value that each firm can bring to your practice.
Once the decision is made on which firm to go with, we get you engaged with that firm's transition team, to ensure a smooth transition. Our goal is to make this transition as painless as possible. In some cases, the broker dealer will place people in your office to assist you in moving your client accounts.
