Guest: Eric Becker, the Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of Cresset Capital Management, an award-winning multi-family office with over $40 billion in assets under management.
In a Nutshell: When your clients are facing a moment of truth at those intersections of life and money, are you their first call? If not, what kind of service do you need to start delivering to earn one of those speed dial spots? And how could making your firm indispensable increase your referrals, make your marketing more effective, and enhance your ability to attract and retain likeminded talent who will keep client relationships at the center of everything your firm does?
On today’s show, Eric Becker discusses Cresset’s origin story and explains how he and his co-founder methodically built the firm from its launch in 2017, by clients for clients, into one of the top multi-family offices in the country.
