Legent Clearing Launches Referral/Recruiting Site to Help Correspondents Attract Brokers
~ More than 30 Legent Clearing correspondent firms participating
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Legent Clearing announced today the official introduction of a broker referral site aimed at helping many of their correspondent firms attract brokers, advisors and other registered personnel. To date, 33 of Legent's introducing broker/dealers have provided content for the website at http://www.legentbrokerreferral.com and several others are in the process of providing the necessary content to participate in the near future.
Visitors to the site will be able to view each correspondent's information which includes a business description, links to the firm's website and the recruiting contact details. The site also enables a rep to search by type of business/rep supported (i.e., independent, employee, trainee, RIA, or insurance). Reps can then complete a confidential profile and have it routed to the recruiting contacts at the firms of their choice.
"The idea emanated from our very first Steering Committee meeting and from discussions during our annual conference," said Ray Maratea, president of Legent Clearing. "A lot of our correspondents listed recruiting as a primary business focus in a survey we conducted a few months back. We actively support our correspondents in their recruiting and marketing efforts because it's a win-win situation for all. If we can help our correspondents recruit new talent and increase revenues, Legent will benefit as well."
Legent has begun to advertise the site through online and print media to ensure that brokers and advisors interested in joining a new firm are aware that many of Legent's correspondents are actively recruiting. Legent's alliances with Thomson Reuters and Sungard, along with many other brand name providers of technology, products and services enable the firm's correspondents to offer competitive resources, business development assistance and attractive compensation arrangements.
"This is a terrific way for Legent to show their support for our firm," stated James Stoneham of Meyers Associates.
Added Gary Tickel, Chief Compliance Officer of MCL Financial Group, Inc., "We appreciate Legent's interest in and extra attention in helping MCL Financial Group, Inc. grow our business."
