Real Example Of Hard Truth

Recruiter Helping Top Advisors Find Top BD/RIAs & Host of Firm Transitions Podcast
I want to share a brief story with you.
?
I've been speaking to the same wirehouse financial advisor for the past 10 years.
?
He’s honestly an amazing advisor and person.??The first time we met, he was producing $900,000 in revenue. He explained that he wanted to leave the firm but was hung up on the idea that he needed more production to make the move.
?
We reconnected three years later, by this time he had almost doubled his production, $1,600,000! We picked up our conversation where we left off years ago, discussing his transition options, but again, he decided it wasn’t the right time.
?
Finally, we recently crossed paths again (two years following our last encounter; five years since the first time we met originally). He’s now a top advisor at his firm! This time around he told me he wanted to leave but now believed his business was too complex & large to move.
?
Word for word: "Corey, I wish I had just made the move when we first met, life and business were simpler.”
?
This happens way more than you can imagine.
?
**Advisors: It’s always going to be a difficult decision to move, regardless of your production or life circumstances. I promise it will never feel perfect. However, if you know in your gut, that your firm isn't the right long-term fit for you, time will not solve the issue, only action will.
?
If you’re a high-performing financial advisor considering a move, have questions, could simply use the help of an experienced transition consultant, I’m happy to help you—please reach out to me.
