A Proud Member Of The CFP Profession. You miss the point, Gib, or perhaps I did not articulate the issue clearly enough. I'd really be interested in any studies or surveys that vaildate Paul's statement. I just have not seen any surveys that validate that statement, and no other CFP designees I asked about it at a meeting yesterday and another one this morning are aware of it. I'd be most interesting in seeing those surveys.
Doctors are practitioners who are involved in the medical profession.
Lawyers are practitioners who are involved in the legal profession. CPAs are practitioners who are involved in the accounting profession. We have enough to do to promote our profession as it is now labeled. They say that surveys indicate that over fifty per cent of the public respond that way. Ask any marketing Professional and they will tell you that this is how you build an image.
