Success Stories
Client Satisfaction is #1
After years with her previous Broker/Dealer, Helen was becoming
increasingly dissatisfied. Between limiting what she could
do with her clients and an ever-increasing emphasis on proprietary
products, her broker dealer was no longer the right fit. She
wanted to find a place where she could transition from commission
based service to fee based and run her practice with no quotas,
no product focus, and no question of whether or not she was
providing the best services for her clients.
That's when Helen found The Professional Alliance
and their independent Broker/Dealer Cambridge Investment Research,
Inc. (Member FINRA/SIPC). With TPA, Helen was able to run
her practice as she wanted. Without quotas she was not forced
to continually search for new clients. Without featured products
she was able to choose the right fit for her clients needs.
With TPA and Cambridge, a registered investment advisor, in
her corner, her ethical question of whether she was providing
the best for her clients, was finally answered. In fact, she
feels she has been given an opportunity to deepen her relationship
with her current clients.
Aside from the procedural and service differences, Helen's
other reasons for her positive experiences with The Professional
Alliance have a more personal side. “I just love Doug's
attitude! He's an “authentically positive”
person who's not about the numbers or the products.
And Shelly's enthusiasm and personal approach are great
too. It's easy to see that they are real people who
truly like what they do. Both TPA and Cambridge have been
extremely supportive.”
Helen has also experienced a new level of flexibility and
options with TPA and Cambridge. “I appreciate the wide
range of products and services offered by Cambridge. And,
if they don't already offer a service, they are receptive
to implementing new ones based on your suggestions.
For example, at the time I joined, they did not offer a 529
Plan in NY but the responsiveness of TPA and Cambridge was
exceptional and they signed a selling agreement that same
day. They really listen to what you have to say and deliver
what you need.”
And what's the best way to judge Helen's satisfaction
with TPA? “I've already referred two of my former
colleagues to TPA and they're thrilled. We sometimes
look back on our experiences with our old Broker/Dealer and
wonder how we did it!”
