According to the results, the following four are responsible for 61% of the impact in terms of driving referrals: the sense that an advisor ‘has an understanding of my professional goals and objectives,’ ‘has an understanding of my business model,’ ‘has an understanding of my clientele’ and ‘promotes a comfortable and effective working relationship.'”
