| Post-CFP Designation | Mean | Median | Std_Dev | Freq |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 Designations | 7588 | 5278 | 8357 | 271 |
| 1-2 Designations | 7222 | 5533 | 6289 | 203 |

The analysis shows that earning additional post-CFP designations does not drive higher practice revenue per client. Moving from zero designations to an intermediate level (1-2) yields a negligible median revenue increase, while advanced advisors with 3 or more designations actually underperform compared to both lower tiers.
