Building a high-net-worth franchise in financial services is like building a championship baseball team: Your team will consist of a combination of free agents and new talent developed in your “farm system.”

The team you’re building is a sales force that can capture the ear of wealthy individuals, win their trust and confidence and perform on a consistent basis.

Success depends on your team of winners. Treat them as customers – and establish a reputation for doing so – and you’re well on the way to establishing your franchise.
