Wow. I too would love to find people that would be willing to handle all these matters and work on a commissions basis.

With the wheels back on the economy for the first time since the meltdown of August 2008, there is some hope that once again enough experts are doing well enough to take such roles.

However, may I offer a better approach? Let's assume for a moment that you are on LinkedIn and have at least 500 connections. If not, that should be your focus in your spare time. If so, reach out to your connections only, and tell them you are looking for a partner to take your business to the next level.

Tell us your strengths in two or three bullet points with a little detail, maybe 60 or 70 words for each, and remind them what your business does.

Then, when some recommendations come in, they have already been vetted to a degree by people you "know, like, and trust" and so reach out to each of the candidates.

Yes, there is more to it and I would be happy to talk with you. Reach out.

P.S. My last hire took a whole five minutes. If it is taking you longer, you are doing a number of things wrong.
