A pipeline built on referrals
I grew two client books almost entirely through referrals — personal-network development, no inbound marketing, no purchased lists. In my final year at Merrill Lynch, that engine produced 20% quarter-over-quarter production growth and 240% of my new-investment target. Referrals aren't luck; they're a system of follow-through.
The 401(k) is home turf
For ten years my specialty was the 401(k) transition — the biggest, most emotional financial move most people ever make. I know the products, the paperwork, the objections, and the exact moment a participant decides to trust you. That fluency transfers directly to recordkeepers, plan advisors, and the platforms built to serve them.
97% stayed. Here's why.
At Edward Jones, 97% of my clients stayed — the product of proactive service and plain-English communication, not just market performance. At Merrill Lynch, the same playbook earned a client satisfaction award. Retention was never a lagging metric for me; it was the operating system.
Range beyond the sales call
Before wealth management I ran daily operations for an 80-plus-employee Harkins Theatres location, and repped Disney's College Program across two Arizona campuses — account plans that earned the state's highest acceptance rate. Teams, budgets, press, partners, executives: I've carried all of them. Client growth is a cross-functional sport, and I've played most of the positions.
