What is an honestly respectable amount of gross to have done at the end of your second year?

If you're a bank broker, I'd say about $980,000.

[/quote] While remotely possible if you have great connections I would think 250k is a much more attainable and realistic goal.

Good luck!!!!

[/quote] I have actually heard that the best of the best bank brokers can achieve 250k in a great month.   Especially if their trail business is paid quarterly.    To do that every month would be unheard of in my program.  The best of the best do about an average of 100k monthly.

That is the same in my program as well Scrim. 

I'm in my 4th month and have have averaged about $25K.  The number 1 guy in the city did $160k in april. 
May 13, 2007 6:26 am

To clarify, I am talking about 2nd year at a wirehouse i.e. Morgan, Smith Barney, Merrill etc.

I know at MS you have to hit 100k mark your second year you are considered in the top tier of your class.

Any thoughts on second year production at a wirehouse?

What???

You’re saying that you’re in your 4th month of production and you have already done $100k in gross revenues?

Did you start with $30MM in AUM on your first day?

At MS, top tier after 24 months is $180k in revenues and $15MM in AUM.

2nd tier is $125k and $12MM

3rd tier is $75k and $7.5MM

Fee based or transactional?  They guys who do transactional comission make more, but they can also burn out faster.

$980,000 in your second year?  That would be nice.

$200K in your 2nd year at wirehouse would be respectable. It would also depend on your product mix.

That would be very solid performance, but it would mean that you are actually going to stay in the business. Unfortunately, anyone doing lower than that - their days are numbered....

At MS, anyone at the 3rd tier level is on probation, and they won't be employed for long, unless they get their numbers up to 2nd tier in a hurry.

If these numbers are true, why would anyone start at a wirehouse? 2nd year for a bank rep is 225-300K

Bank,

Your estimates are exactly what I experienced in my second year in a bank program.

There must be some good reasons to start at a wirehouse as compared to a bank.   I would think the key is to find the right fit for each individual.   

Working in a bank it's a trade-off just like anything.   In trade for a "built in audience", referral streams from bank partners, etc.   I have to deal with meetings, bank mentality management, non qualified referrals from partners among other things.

Personally, it was worth it for me not to have to worry about heavy duty, everyday, grind it out prospecting in exchange for some of the annoying bank minituae.

Life is all about balance.

Banks typically pay up to 42% on their grids. They all are different though. I don’t understand %'s if you want to do paycheck comparison, I bet I win.



Scrim once you get to doing 500K+, chat with your sales manger about your time. You would be happy to do sales meetings on saturday mornings or after work, but while your open you need to be focused on one thing. Clients. I used to spend alot of time doing reports and meetings, not any more, and I am better for not doing it.



To answer the question about fees vs. commissions I do about 50/50 and yes I was at the the top end of those numbers. I see about 20% grow year over year in the amount of assets I have brought in. I try to focus on assets and not fees. If I just wanted GDC IO would sell EIA’s all day like Bobby Bull

May 17, 2007 12:06 am

Oh yea, I’d be more than happy to attend sales meetings on Saturdays or after work, and sure payouts at banks are about 42%. BullShat!! A friend of mine recently went to Wachovia at a 35% payout. Tell the truth Bankrep.

For all you doubters I really do believe he's telling the truth.   In my program top payout, while not easy to hit, is a shade higher than 42%.

I had actually read in some trade magazine that Wachovia there is/was a two tier system.  The second tier was a straight 50% payout.  Any truth to this rumour?

EZ I didn't say you get 42% for doing 200K you have to do 500K to get that someome doing 200K is likely getting 28%, As far as saturday and nights your sales manager doesn't want to do it then so if you suggest those as terms it is likely you'll negotiate no more meetings.

I’m in my 3rd full month at a new firm & at $90K including two weeks in training! I’ve also put in $1.7MM into wrap acct’s. Yeah, you can do that kind of volume in banks. I’m shooting for $325K first year revenue & $4MM in wrap. I will have a payout of low 30’s. if I hit it. Next year I want to be at $425K revenue & my payout will be mid 30’s.



Banks see MUCH more volume than wirehouses. You work harder in other ways for it, though.

[/quote] I'm obviously going way out on a limb here but perhaps that is why he choose his handle.

I did some research and found that that he was a very ornery and mad person in general.   Especially with his own family.  

He was a great hockey star of the 50's, 60's and 70's.   He got very bitter because he grew bald as his career progressed.

Coincidence or not, he chose a very appropriate handle!
