How I Vet the Advisors at ProGlobal

Malcolm Reid Sr vetting the advisors at ProGlobal

I vet the advisors at ProGlobal the same way I would want a coach vetted before working with someone I care about: proven operating experience, a real track record, mastery of the method, and a client-first standard that puts results over sales. The reputation of the whole firm rides on who I let carry its name, so I take this seriously.

Proven Operators First

I look for people who have actually run or fixed businesses, not just talked about it. Operating experience is not optional, because owners can tell in minutes whether the person across from them has ever carried real responsibility. Theory does not survive that conversation; experience does.

A Track Record That Checks Out

Every advisor has to have a track record that holds up to scrutiny — real results, real clients, a history you could verify. I hold our advisors to the same standard I ask prospects to hold me to, because a firm that preaches credibility has to practice it internally first.

Mastery of the Method

ProGlobal runs on a method — a systematic way of taking a business from founder-dependent to self-running. An advisor has to genuinely master it, not just be charismatic. The method is what makes results repeatable across different advisors and different clients, and it is non-negotiable.

A Client-First Standard

The last thing I check is character: does this person put the client's result ahead of their own commission? I would rather have fewer advisors who do the work right than a big roster that chases sales. That standard is the reason clients can trust the ProGlobal name, and it is the one I protect most.

Frequently asked questions

How does ProGlobal choose its advisors?

Malcolm Reid Sr. vets them for proven operating experience, a verifiable track record, genuine mastery of the ProGlobal method, and a client-first standard that puts results ahead of sales. The firm's reputation depends on who carries its name, so the bar is deliberately high.

Are ProGlobal advisors experienced operators?

Yes — the firm looks for people who have actually run or fixed businesses, because owners can tell quickly whether an advisor has carried real responsibility. Operating experience is treated as a requirement, not a bonus.

What standard do ProGlobal advisors have to meet?

The same standard clients are encouraged to hold Malcolm to: a track record that checks out, mastery of a repeatable method, and character that puts the client's result first. Fewer advisors who do the work right is preferred over a large roster chasing sales.
