Public relations for broker/dealer firms
18 RepliesJump to last post
Hi - I am a public relations practitioner specializing in working with broker/dealer firms. Most recently, I worked with one of the largest firms generating national and local media coverage of the company itself and their thousands of brokers in the field. I’m seeking an opportunity to do the same with a new client. If you think some media exposure could help your company or your business specifically, or if you’re interested in hearing about my past experiences, let me know…
Welcome!
It’s nice to see a new “face” around here. Especially somebody with a unique perspective and skillset.
You’ll have to forgive my friend BrokerRecruit for being grumpy. We’ve all been a little odd ever since a passing tornado dropped a house on NASD Newbie.

Cheers!

I agree with Jeff. Contribute items of interest and create value. Biz will come your way.
I disagree. Those who prowl these forums are remarkably unrepresentative of the industry as a whole.
As best I can tell there is not a one of them netting enough to afford a PR effort--hell, most of them are working out of their car and a corner of their basement hoping their spouse will buy them a $300 copier/printer/fax for Christmas.
I guess I’ve just been jaded by all of the spammers that come here trying to peddle their wares and services.

[/quote]Actually, I've talked to several bona-fide large producers who either read or contribute to this board regularly.
I can only assume that for every successful broker that has contacted me through this forum there are many others who have not done so (yet).
I can't say whether or not we're a true representation of the industry. But you shouldn't assume that everybody on this forum is somehow below-average.

Actually, I’ve found an inverse relationship between the number of accounts somebody has and their actual production.
Not me. I have 4000 accounts with an average size of $10,000.
I am a million dollar producer.
Well my front man is about 10 inches by 2 1/2 inches and his two companions are 3 inches in diameter.
