EDJ Door Knocking?
144 RepliesJump to last post
You know what, I’ve been reading all of your replies for the last 7 months. You all sound like a bunch of whiny little girls. Yes I am a Jones rep, yes I am sure you will make fun of me as so many of you losers do. I hope that I door knock one of your phone clients, that is what I look for. Easy sale…when was the last time your advisor came to your home? I appreciate it. Make fun of Jones and door knocking, works for me. Keep calling them…I’ll hand them the phone in the living room when you call. I know the down sides to door knocking…not as professional, I look dumb, etc. The bottom line is face time. If you haven’t seen your client…you don’t have all of their assets…bottom line…and if you think you do…tell me their name, I’d be glad to knock on their door.
I sound whiny, but I have been looking at this site for a long time and all anyone does is bitch and complain about Jones. If it was that big of an issue for you, I would think you would go door knock yourself. I’m not sure why everyone rips on Jones. (Insert the overhead here). That’s fine, how much do you spend overhead each year? If you don’t like Jones, then be quiet you are not w/ Jones. If you are a phone broker, I would love to take a list of potential/clients head to head on conversion.
Philo, you are a waste of time, if you are experienced, then why are you on the newbie site…
You were new at one time and I am seeking advice, if you don’t have any then shut the h*** up. If you do, I would glady accept, just don’t waste my f*cking time.

It doesn’t sound to me like you’re seeking advice. It sounds to me like you think you have it all figured out and you’re here to tell us how you think our attitude is so bad.
Do you mean compared to YOUR positive attitude?
Quite frankly, I’m seeking realistic and helpful advice, and I am telling the negative washed up vets to stay out of the newbie site. If you have positive and constructive advice and are looking to give back to the industry, then we are all looking for help; however, many of the people on here try to put down and degrade the rookies. You may feel like you’ve got it all figured out now, but you were new once and had to look to someone else for help. You shouldn’t bash people on here for doing the same. The bottom line is that if you don’t have anything positive or useful to say, then find another site devoted to whiners. There is nothing worse than a complainer to ruin a dynamic. If you are so experienced, why are you dwelling in the newbie chatroom if you are not trying to help?

If you ever find yourself comtemplating suicide, the answer is "yes."
Stop winning…you’re with a loser firm and you know it. You came here to get justification for you and your firm. I give you(only because of your attitude) 8-9 months before you see the light. However…this will speed up the process…go to a seminar outside of what Jones has…meet real advisors…talk with them…ask about their offices and how they conduct business. Then go back to one of your…say…call sessions or regional meetings. It will be night and day…GOOD LUCK AND GOOD SELLING…
Well, thank you for fulfilling what I thought would happen. I don’t understand why you so called vets try to degrade a newbie and their firm. I don’t even know why you are in this forum, all you are is negative. I would love to sit in on one of your calls or appointments and hear how your glowing personalities come across. If you don’t like rookies or Jones, no problem…but why do you go to a forum devoted to rookies, most of whom start at Jones?
BSpears, I appreciate your comment, at least there was some substance to it and Philo thanks for the side bar as well.
Bobby and Joe you are a wast of time and I doubt you have been or will be around very long if the breadth of your knowledge is to tell a rookie to commit suicide and to defend your negative attitude.
I’m dropping this, but all I am asking is that you lighten up on the newbies and our firms. You all had to start somewhere.
The irony of this whole issue is that the firm being bashed the most is the one that continues to win award after award after award after award after award after award after award after award after award from their clients and advisors.
It you can't beat 'em, and they won't let you join 'em...then bash 'em.

What exactly is it that you want help with? So far all you've done is rant and snivel. There are plenty of other threads besides the bash Jones threads that have some good advice or information. If you don't like the topics that are presented why don't you ask a question or come up with a subject that would be constructive?

You are drinking some strong kool aid if you think most (successful) rookies start at Jones. I find it ironic that you are commenting on my attitude when all I did was make a brief comment to point out how CRAPPY yours was-at least from what we’ve seen so far.

I’ve been licensed for about 15 years, thank you. I’ve seen plenty of rookies like you(with chips on their shoulders) come and go like the changing of the seasons. I’m just trying to point out to you that for all your griping about us your attitude really really sucks, and if you conduct yourself during daily business like this you’re going to be an abject failure.
Good luck.

Perhaps you should stop beating your chest and read a few of his posts before you defend him. I could care less if he's with Jones. There are some good things about the kool-aid Kingdom, at least until you want to take off the training wheels and be a real advisor. My problem is with his whining crappy attitude.

Somehow, it seems that BH has now crossed the line in encouraging another poster to commit suicide. With new visibility to violent people like the one who murdered innocent victims: I don't think the moderators will contiue to allow BH to "abuse" other posters who frequent this site.
Hey moderators: kool report feature:
BH: FYI: You've been reported. Do hope you're not joedabrkr since he seems to be encouraging to newbys and not too "abusive".
To use a military term: " RE PORT!"
This poster is encouraging a newby to commit suicide. He is very abusive. Here's a pm he sent me:

I mean POS. Why did you quote me when you said you just say to yourself: what a POS. You are a mean, cruel and evil person: oh, feel free to post this on the site if you so desire.
PS: Hope you don’t mind that I posted “your” pm: just returning the favor. No need to thank me.

Goforbroke-
I have until now kept my promise that I would not "feed the troll" by responding to you. However, in this case, I feel I must respond.
BH can at times be abrasive, annoying, and sarcastic. He can also be thought provoking, funny, and make me look at parts of the business from a whole new angle. And-he is a practicing "Registered Rep".
You are NOT a Registered Rep, and I fail to see what value you have brought to the table for this board. You give advice to newbs this despite the fact that you have no experience in the industry and thus little basis to render advice. Some of your advice is so far off base as to be laughable, and some of it could be damaging to someone's career if they were to follow it. You love to quote Suze Ormon as if she is a good person from whom to get sound advice about this career. She's just a good TV personality and a good book salesman, not an investment advisor by any stretch of the imagination. You also like to post off-topic quips on a lot of the other non-rookie threads. Have you noticed so far that almost nobody is responding to them? News flash-most of them aren't even that funny.
Now you are suggesting that BH should be banned for a comment that is obviously sarcastic. I thought I'd point that out to you in case you couldn't tell the difference.
Let's review for the more simple-minded among us(such as yourself):
BH----> a little annoying at times, but an experienced "Registered Rep"
goforbroke(jokeriswild/sexylady/ and who knows what else)
------------> NOT a registered rep, NOT a securities lawyer, NOT an industry headhunter, and most likely NOT seriously investigating the industry. NOT even an active investor.
I ask again that you look at the upper left hand corner of your screen, and note that the "title" of this bulletin board is "Registered Rep". It is NOT "Yahoo Miscellaneous chat" or "Come and Post Whatever Dribbles Out of Your Mind to Get Attention".
Your behavior on this board exhibits the sort of narcissism that is rampant in our society and will ruin us if we don't change it. It is the ultimate selfish act, because you come here to post not to provide any useful information nor to pose thought-provoking questions, nor to seek any real information, but merely to draw attention to yourself and cause trouble for your own entertainment and gratification. Deny it all you want, but it is obvious to me.
You have accused me in the past of trying to get you banned. And-in the past-I was not, so I denied it. I shall no longer deny it, because I now really wish the mods WOULD shut you down in hopes that you would go away. Sadly, though, I know you'll probably come crawling back with another screen name just like a cockroach. You can't help yourself, at least not until you find a greener pasture.
You opened the door, now I'm walking through it. I'll ask the other board members if they would be willing to share their opinion as well.....
Who should be banned? Bobby Hull? or Goforbroke (aka jokeriswild)?
[quote=goforbroke]PS: Hope you don't mind that I posted "your" pm: just returning the favor. No need to thank me.[/quote]
It doesn't bother me at all. Did you really think it would? By the way...what do you tell people when they ask about the coat hanger scars all over your body?
Bobby Hull/joedabrkr and...maybe others, too--probablythis Philo character, too...the venom is a "giveaway" -- it's obvious you two are one and the same. I created jokeriswild when I thought BobbyHull was going to get me banned when he posted my pm to him asking him to be more polite to other posters and he then ridicules me on the site.
I don't have to justify why I'm on the site. I may be researching the career field. I don't need your approval.
I will say I 'did' like some of joedabrkr's posts: but I can't hear what he is saying for who he is (ironic:a quote he made to someone else!).
How can you one or you two be in the "people" business with how abrasive you are attempting to control a board that isn't yours.
Let's not be a cyber bully and act more like a decent human being:
not nice to write harrassing pms: (BH: "abuse you") or to tell others to drop dead or encourage suicide. oh...and making comments about someone's mother as you did with Sillohette... chasing off newbies who have questions... condeming others who you disagree with who has questions as Bobby H. did when someone mentioned training costs.The fact that you two are so bothered that I'm posting here and want to control what happens on this board definitely reflects that you are one and the same. Sillohette thought so, too. Might want to watch the company you keep there, joe.
Have a nice day!
narcissism !!
Bobby N. Hall. (n: doesn't equal nappy).
Joda brkr has the biggest ego on the site: needs a little deflating.
However, whomit has a big ego and is just a kool dude.
Any poster who ridicules, bullys others is just showing what a complete a$hole he/s really is (e.g. an a$$hole on the internet is really an a$$hole.)
