Headhunter looking for a WP grad in Denver

This info if from "a friend of a friend" via the WPPA:


BACKGROUND ON THE COMPANY - One of the most respected names in global money management, the firm has $470 billion in AUM and is headquartered in New York. 

ABOUT THE POSITION - The Financial Advisor is critical in cultivating new clients and advising existing ones.  This is a pure sales role to bring in private capital management for families, individuals, foundations and endowments.
 

The actual money management is conducted in New York by a large team of investment research experts and money managers who keep close contact with the Financial Advisor.  The client has a mid career intensive training program to teach the FA everything they need to know and to help them get their securities licenses.
 

The FA will have a dedicated assistant who has also been through an intensive training program.  On average FAs have 12 - 15 meetings a week targeting referral sources for clients.  Such sources include attorneys, CPAs, investment bankers, private family office managers, private equity firms and other trusted advisors.
 

COMPENSATION – six figure base plus 40% of the asset management fee.  The firm requires a new account minimum of $500k.  The average account is $2-3 million.  Typical income at the end of the first year is $175-200K.  If by the third year the FA has brought in 20-30 accounts, with an average of $2-3 million each that would total $60 million or so in AUM and pay an income of $450K.
 
This would be a top quartile producer.  Top 10% producers earn 7 figures year after year.  There are opportunities for stock grants and production bonuses in addition to the base and commission.
 

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED -  10+ years of direct sales experience.  Candidate must have been a top producer in a previous career.  Must be very intelligent to deal with the personal money matters of the wealthy and their trusted advisors.  An MBA is a plus.  Must be seasoned in life.  Must be warm, engaging and very personable.  Must have the proven ability to build a business by self generating all leads.  Must be a consummate networker and enjoy attending various groups' events.
