Well you need to figure out what kind of book you want first. Then, find firms that have that kind of book but not a million advisors already. After that, give them a call or send a letter and introduce yourself and be direct about what you would like. A lot of the time, you need to wait 5 years for them to actually retire or be ready to sell out. So, that being said, you need to make another revenue stream or be prepared to live off of your own smaller book and savings/investments for a while.
In short, lots of phone calls and coffees with people who will tell you they “need you in 5-10 years” or “well my son is taking over my book”
It’s a numbers game and a matter of dumb luck as to whether the people you call are willing to give up a pretty easy job to maintain at older ages

Yeah unfortunately cold outreach is pretty much it. Depends on what you’re looking for but I use BrokerCheck and filer by zip code.
Where are you located? I have a couple of advisors that will be looking to sell in the next few years.
Where are you located?
Don’t do it
Why do you say that?
Unless you have a network or luck into it or are absolutely amazing at sales you’ll end up coasting at the mid level for the rest of your career if you can even stay in the business. If you’re setup then the job is easy especially compared to ib. If you’re not you’re going to be giving up your best years to be mediocre the rest of your life
For every retiree there are 100+ advisors looking to buy his/her book. Regarding your current network that amazing. You have to ask yourself what do these people see when they look at me, an advisor or a friend colleague. I had the same thought when I left my professional services job but it didn’t irk out that way for me. I had to find something else and got super lucky but that’s it. Most people don’t get lucky.
