How financial advisors should manage the record deluge of recruiter phone calls

You make some great points. With so many recruiting firms out there and so many cold callers, it is hard to find a good recruiter. Advisors should take calls from the “good” recruites because that will enable them to keep a pulse on the market place.

Thanks Ron. I agree with you, not only because I happen to be a recruiter either. A good recruiter speaks to thousands of people in the industry and hears information from many perspectives. If nothing else, speaking to a good recruiter can be informative, within the boundaries of confidentiality. Situations can change rapidly, as we have seen over the last few years, and it is always good to have a good recruiter to call when you need one :-)

Fred,

An excellent, informative article!

Lots of good information!
Thanks for the public service!

Fred, I didn’t realize how smart you are…I mean about the financial market! This article is very detailed and precise! Cudos my friend.

The first three paragraphs drew me in right away. Great introduction to your article! This article should help many people.

I learned some things and the article was interesting.

Very informative Fred, with important questions to ask. I might add, trust can only be earned.

There is so much I don’t know about the financial world. Sad, I know. I agree with what you said intially, that Madoff was only concerned about himself, which is why he ended up where he is in the first place.

Fred, you make good sense and offer sound advice for those who have a moral compass. I hope everyone reads this before the system implodes; collapsing in on itself. When greed takes a front seat, dominating the landscape and mindset of people who only think of themselves, everybody eventually becomes the victim of its inequity.
