Whenever I've seen if a client wanted to renew a contract or If a firm wanted to renew my contract I've always posed it I'm considering options X, Y, Z but I really enjoyed working with you and need to know if you're interested in keeping me on. Either way I've enjoyed working with you. Just let me know

What are people's opinions on this phrasing?

I think it shows that I'm not desperate to stay which I never am. In addition, it shows that it's a competition to keep me and they need to act.

Do you mention who your clients are in interviews? I can never tell what the right way to do this is.

I'm a $70M fee-only (commissions for insurance) independent RIA with a generous comp schedule that enables FAs to own their own book while they grow. As the owner, my focus is to help FAs succeed; as a firm, our focus is on client service and helping them succeed. I can afford a small salary, but not benefits. I'm especially interested in female FAs.

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??
