  3. Dan's example of the advisor spending over 100 hours on a client who eventually moved is the exception to the rule. While I was working as an FA the most common case was client's being neglected by their FA's until they moved portfolios. Agree with CC that DSC may not be the best compensation method, at least there should be minimum client service requirements.

    Thanks for the link!
