Are you trying to build your own book or what is your role at your firm? How did you get the first $10M?

I am building my own book focused on advisory.  Built mostly through referrals and company seminars.

Great. When did you start producing and how can we help?

I started in 2017.  I started in this business after an early career in Aerospace.  I am always looking for ways to prospect.  I really want to build a good book of business.

If it is your own book, but they are company seminars...how does that work?

I do seminars for employees of small to medium size businesses.  I pick up referrals and clients that way.  Sorry for the confusion.

Any way for you to leverage your aerospace experience? I have just one client from a large aerospace manufacturer relatively local to me. Always thought it could be a good niche, if I had the ambition to pursue it.

Idk where you're located, but there's quite a few in GA.

It is a very good niche. I have some clients currently from the industry. To your point, I should take a fresh look and re-attack. Thanks!

I have a lot of Boeing engineer types.  It’s a very interesting group.

Do you service another advisors clients at all? How much runway do you have or are you already only paid on your book?

Averaging $2M/yr over 5 years is a start, but you need to really find a consistent marketing activity. Don’t rely on referrals at your size as there is no way $10M will provide a sizable consistent increase.

I do not service other advisors clients.  I agree with you and am looking to really get focused and grow.
