Why Choose
Rainmaker Consulting?
01. We're Your Super Agent
If you follow sports, you probably recognize the name Drew Rosenhaus. We’re the Rosenhaus of financial services. We’re relentless in helping you find the right home for your business and then negotiating to secure the best transition package possible. We’re connected. We know people who matter in this business. We also have proprietary, exclusive relationships that you can leverage as well. Key decision makers have come to trust us and rely on our knowledge and experience. As one of the top recruiting firms in the nation, we have carefully vetted and chosen the best-in-class firms to partner with, and we have access to virtually every financial services firm on the Street.
02. We Know the Industry
We stay close to every step of the process, because we know how all the moving parts work. Even if you’re a seasoned veteran and have connections of your own, we see angles you may overlook and know decision makers and influencers you may not know. We monitor the industry—and the people in it—for a living. Our expertise is confidentially guiding advisors through a strategic shift. Whether you choose to involve us at each step or just advise you on part of your transition, you’ll find our partnership beneficial and a value-add. We do our due diligence, which means we will scope out the information that you and your prospective firm need to make an educated, intelligent decision.
03. We Get to Know You
We won’t ask you to fill out long questionnaires and surveys. Just have a laser-like conversation with us. We know exactly what questions to ask you and we won't waste your time. We will not tie you up in knots by presenting countless options. Using our proven approach, we will help you focus on what’s right for you and your clients. Then we’ll present options that have the right combination of platform, technology, culture, and economics. Your conversation with Rainmaker will be productive and informative.
04. We Know the Deal Lifecycle
Moving your practice is not just a practical business decision—for most, it's emotional as well. When emotions are involved, it can be hard to analyze and diagnose things clearly. It’s easy to overlook opportunities, miss key details or critical steps and not see the bigger picture. We have been through this process thousands of times so we've become experts at understanding the psychology of the trade. We also partner with a wide range of professionals who can help with everything from legal issues to valuation. We know how deals are negotiated and formulated—the push and pull of the process—and we are adept at restructuring and refining deals to optimize the best possible transition package. Having us as an objective liaison to the other side is critical to your success.
05. We're Collaborators
We’re not introduction-makers. We’re not appointment-setters. When you engage with us, together we will figure out what’s in your best interest. If and when you decide it’s go-time, we’re all in—from your first meeting right up to your transition date. Making the right move and having a successful transition is a collaboration, no matter how much (and who) you may already know. Remember, even seasoned executives and superstar athletes trust professionals to represent them, especially at critical junctures in their career. How much we do for you is up to you. You can leverage us for consulting, or we can run the entire process of your move. The choice is yours.
06. We Build Long-term Relationships
We want to build a lasting relationship with you. Whether you make a move or not, we will be your sounding board. We keep a third-party perspective, allowing only what's in your best interest to guide your career in one direction or another. If you’re interested in learning more about opportunities but you’re not ready to proceed further, we will check in with you as needed to see how your business is progressing and if your needs are changing. The timetable is always up to you.
