how to determine a good broker?

[Dividend]

How do you determine if a broker, investment adviser or a financial services firm can give you good service?

If I were you, I would go to a local office like Scottrade and get a feel for the environment, service and people.

You should be able to know if someone is giving you good or bad service. If you like then it's good, if you don't like it then it's bad.

I think that you should look for a broker who deals with your sphere of business. He must have excellent skills in your business.
