“Tom was the first investment advisor I met that I did not consider an "itinerant money salesman". He and his team came in and took ownership of developing mutually rewarding relationships with the commercial lenders. He understands the sanctity of the client relationships in the commercial division and went about demonstrating he could put a team of professionals in place to meet the high standards of both the lenders and their clients. His team's advice far exceeded my experience with "bank brokers" and proved that synergy within these departments is possible. If you are looking for someone to break down barriers and help integrate the investment business into the core of your institution then Tom is your man.”

—L. Burwell Gunn
President, COO &Vice Chairman

Referral Partner Programs

Why This is Important to You

Sourcing new clients is one of the greatest challenges facing most advisors and advisory practices. The challenge grows as firms sharpen their focus on the vaunted high net worth investor and the number of firms trying to serve this segment virtually explodes.

For most advisors, referrals from clients and other centers of influence provide the best path toward adding coveted high net worth investors to their practice. The logic is pretty simple, the more quality referral sources you have; the more likely you are to reach your goals.

One often-overlooked lucrative repository of such clients can be found in your local bank.

How We Work With You

We recommend that you “capture the fort” instead of a soldier at a time. We help those unfamiliar with the nuances of banking and the quirkiness of bankers, navigate the minefield between your practice and that cache of new relationships and assets. Developing one of these successful alliances could provide you with years of a steady stream of qualified referrals. Think Amway on steroids.

We help you identify which banks to approach and exactly how to approach them. We speak both banker and advisor helping you bridge the gap between what are two distinct businesses with even more distinct cultures.

We will meet with the bankers or develop impactful presentations that you can use to quickly pinpoint and address what is important to them. Bankers’ objectives, fears and proclivities are often far different than you might expect.

We help develop the protocols, processes, legalese and other structural components, including fee sharing, that are critical to success.

We work diligently to manage the expectations of both parties to create an alliance that can span decades.

We continue our work with both parties to ensure each is maximizing the available opportunities.
