Fantastic Recruiter
With all candor, you have been a fantastic recruiter. You took time to get to know me, what’s important, and worked toward finding a solid, like-minded firm. More importantly, you have done exactly what you said you were going to do and helped me make a successful transition. That’s exactly why we still talk today.

Honest, Informative, and Thorough
Sean Holbrook is a true professional. Throughout my recruitment to Ameriprise Financial in 2016, Sean was honest, informative, and thorough. When thinking about transitioning to another firm, it can be one of the most difficult career decisions to be made. Making sure the final decision is the best one is a challenge. Sean made sure all of my questions were answered and all of my concerns were satisfied. Being in the industry since 1992, I have been exposed to many different recruiters and can say that Sean Holbrook is one of the best.

True Impartial Consultant
I’ve known Sean Hughes for over 10 years. About 3 years ago, Sean approached me with a strategic opportunity that he believed I should investigate. At the time, I wasn’t keen on making a change to my practice. I had been in the same place for a long time and had become used to the process and platform, despite its limitations. Sean encouraged me to conduct a review of my business. In collaboration with Sean, I learned, in detail, about Ameriprise’s approach and we analyzed the products and solutions of Ameriprise to determine if my business and Ameriprise were a fit. Sean was a true impartial consultant every step of the process and a partner to me in determining where my business could grow and thrive. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without Sean.

Professionalism and Persistence
Fortunately, I received a call about three years ago from Daniel Knapp. I did not realize it at the time, but his call DRAMATICALLY improved my career. At the time, I was one unhappy camper. I was working at STIFEL NICOLAUS and had been disappointed repeatedly by management. Daniel’s professionalism and persistence guided me to AMERIPRISE FINANCIAL. I took the leap on April 15th, 2016, and the results have been SPECTACULAR! Thanks to Daniel, I had the courage to make the move. I consider him to be a true friend. He has continued to stay in touch with me just to see how I was doing. I have been in this business for over 32 years, and this young man is the BEST I’ve ever seen!
