You seem to have fresh approaches and new ideas to attract Reps to become Independent Advisors. Because of your ample contacts by now, please also consider adding some of your methods to help Advisors find fitting, salaried positions. I have been independent for about half of my 20-year career, but now would not be able to be without a structure with company benefits, for several reasons. I've been downsized however, 8 times in 9 years, which can also be very frustrating. Yet, ex-CEO's are out there looking for positions. I believe a large segment of the industry is heading toward salaries with modest bonuses, for the average "Joe Advisor". Because of your research and recruiting efforts, I believe you would do well in developing this kind of market. Thanks, Ed Hi Victoria,

We recommend 3 to 6 months, often longer to plan sizable moves. Planning and preparation are critical, as suggested. We recommend 3 to 6 months, often longer to plan sizable moves.
