See What Paul has to say About Shoemaker
"In the last 30 years, I have never been with any other company. All my training came from Shoemaker. Not only did the initial training come from them, but continued accountability from the firm has been very important in my development. I was challenged to grow in knowledge and skill level throughout my tenure. Many of my friends today are with Shoemaker, and the family atmosphere is something that drew me to the firm and keeps me to this day.
Competitive pressure also helps in that I am challenged to grow my practice so that I don’t fall behind my peers. As someone who is in a remote office, I needed to feel like I was a part of something bigger than just myself. Some people might be able to thrive as an island, but while I might have been able to do so, I also believe that I have achieved higher marks due to my affiliation with Shoemaker Financial."
