I was recruited aggressively when I crossed paths with one of their advisors. The client had signed paperwork to move to me after I showed them a financial plan that cleaned up the mess that there are 24 year old EJ advisor had made for them. Their son-in-law told them to use his guy the next day and they did. That advisor saw the recommendations that I had made to clean up the EJ mess and immediately contacted his boss and told him that he needed to recruit me for the firm. I lost the client but God certainly shined on me that day as I found the firm that I was meant to be with.
