Secrets to impressing their recruitersOur financial advisors need to be self-starters who embrace accountability and highly value the opportunity to run their own branch office. We support every new financial advisor with training and a strong culture, but at the end of the day, individual success is based on attitude and activity level. In our home office associates, we look for many of the same traits, but we also look for potential associates who possess the ability to work closely with others.
