Dodee Frost Crockett is known for her desire to go the extra mile for her clients.

“You want to get into the mindset of ‘What does the client need, beyond an investment?’” says the Dallas-based advisor.

One thing that Frost Crockett does is help her clients get internships for their university-aged children.

“It’s all part of getting the kids off the payroll,” she says.

Over the years, Frost Crockett has been able to build a network of CEOs who are willing to take good interns.

She meets with and vets the prospective interns herself, and talks to them about how to make the most of the opportunity.

Frost Crockett says it isn’t that hard to build up a list of willing executives, and it allows her to help both them and her clients. — RUDY MEZZETTA
