Keep it simple and credible
A good plan consists of a concise analysis of:
- Clients
- Services provided
- Fees generated
It’s important to provide details on client migration and its management; it’s suitability for integration with the prospective firm’s portfolio, and how it’ll contribute to business development.
Structure
Present your content in four clear sections:
- Base – a description of your current situation
- Objective – reasons for moving practice and how it’ll benefit the recruiting firm
- Method – this is where you detail how you’ll migrate your clients
- Measurement – fee predictions presented as projected turnover
Considerations
- Be in command of all the facts, presented in a positive and realistic manner
- Be confident – avoid qualifying facts and figures with caveats
- Be clear and definite in you proposals
- Demonstrate how you’ve considered your portfolio integration
