[ a ] How the search runs
01

Calibration

We map the mandate against the market: the lanes you need covered, the verticals you want opened, and what your competitors are paying for the same person.

02

Discreet approach

The producers you want are not applying to anything. We approach them directly, confidentially, and on the strength of a relationship that already exists.

03

Qualification

Book verified. GP verified. Lane knowledge tested. We only present people we would personally hire into a revenue seat.

04

Close and land

We manage the counter-offer, the notice period and the first ninety days — the window where most senior sales hires quietly fail.

[ b ] The uncomfortable part

Find out why top producers join some companies — and ignore others

Every week we hear the real reason a producer declined an offer: the commission plan had a threshold, the pricing desk was too slow, the sales manager had never carried a bag, the tech stack was a decade behind.

We tell our clients the truth about how they look from the outside, because that is the only way to become the company top producers want to join.

Search mandates nationwide. Ocean, air, brokerage and vertical leadership.
