EJ wins JD Power Cust Sat Award
150 RepliesJump to last post
Hey Starka what firm do you work for?
I’m a moron because I work at this firm:
1. The first 4 months of this year were Edward Jones’ strongest 4 month period ever in terms of gross revenue and net earnings. EVER!
2. They came in first in the JD Power Survey for customer satisfaction, remember the survey was done in January and February of this year. (Wouldn’t you agree the customer is our most important critic?)
3. They were ranked the number one company to work for in Hawaii.
4. Edward Jones LP has paid annualized return of 22% so far this year.
5. They are in the 40% bonus bracket. (The highest ever was 50% in the late 90’s and early 2000.)
6. Last contest period over 50% of our reps went on a trip. Yes I said 50%, not the 3% - 5% that you see at most firms. Greek Isle Cruise, Beaune France, Botswana Africa, Cambodia, Amalfi Coast, Italy. I could go on but I think you are getting the idea. Oh did I say over 50%, yes I did.
I can see why so many reps who have left Edward Jones are so mad. If I left Edward Jones, I would be mad too. Wouldn’t you? I think it’s the Jone’s Bashers on this site that are spinning!

P.S. Oh yeh I forgot to mention the ONLY firm who has “A” share VA’s.
BPD-
1) I own the firm...I don't "work" for it.
2) My firm's profits are up over 60% from the same period a year ago
3) I could care less about your customers...I care about MY clients
4) I'm not in Hawaii
5) I'm not interested in becoming a "limited" anything. I am the only "partner" of my firm, and as I said earlier, I'm up over 60%, so why would I be impressed with a lousy 22%?
6) Ditto #5
7) Thanks to my hard work at my firm, I own an airplane, and I take trips when and where I want.
8) You're not the only firm that can sell A share annuities.
Oh, P.S.
You're not a moron because you work for Jones...You're a moron because you're a moron. Don't try to blame your employer for YOUR stupidity!

[/quote]Starka,
So let me get this right…
1. You own your own broker dealer or book or what?
2. If your firm’s profits grew 60% year over year you must have been working off a real small base.
3. If no one cares about Edward Jones customers then what is everyone so jealous for?
4. You’d like to be in Hawaii.
5. The limited partnership has averaged over 22% per year since 1990. The S&P is up only 11% over same period. Yeh, you wouldn’t want any of that.
6. Ditto #5
7. Wow, you own your own airplane. Woooooooooooooo. Really rich is when you own your own air strip for your airplane. Woooooooooooooo.
8. What other firm is selling “A” share annuities? Are you? Doubt it.
9. You obviously were not on the debate team!
BPD
Hey ChumpChange!
Is that your best shot? You've been cut to ribbons, and that's the best you can do?????
Here's your sign!
Loser!
loser candy bar,
perhaps you can package those responses for your next recruitment seminar.
1.) yes he owns his own book ..... duh
2.) One year change of 60% usually indicates Starka could have gone from your firm to being independent ..... duh
3.) Big difference between jealousy and realizing you've been abused
4.) Perhaps you should check on CRD how long your firm's employees have been with the firm back in '02, it was like a revolving door there.
5.) When was the last time a LP was offered ('03) when was the last time a LP was offered and subsrcibed to? 2000 why was the 2003 "pulled" and when will the next offered LP be finalized? Wanna bet there were more GPs offerred between 2001 and now then LPs, wonder what those returns were?
6.) Contest .... I always thought they were called diversification trips as in diversified holdings / products perhaps things have changed
7.) And how many of your firm employees own airstrips, let me guess they're GPs, but how many of those GPs are still selling?
8.) Who cares about A shares annuities .... seems like only you and your firm
9.) It is quite obvious you were not on the debate team either. But then most client's don't care about that part of your resume either.
Finally to quote Starka
10.) You're not a moron because you work for Jones...You're a moron because you're a moron. Don't try to blame your employer for YOUR stupidity!
How came you've never addresses point 10?

[/quote]1. Starka said he owned his own firm, not his book!
2. It’s highly unlikely that if he recently went independent that is production would be up 60%, be real!
3. Let me remind you the definition of the word jealous and why so many former EJ reps bash Jones on this board:
jealous
Pronunciation: 'je-l&s
Function: adjective
Hostile toward a rival or one believed to enjoy an advantage.
Here’s another:
envy
Pronunciation: 'en-vE
Function: noun
Painful or resentful awareness of an advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire to possess the same advantage.
4. We are in sales, whether we like it or not (Especially when you are new). Although attrition was higher than normal in '02 it was still ALOT better than most firms. Mother merril lost over 5,000 reps.
5. Our LP (which has avergaed 22% since 1990) was offered in '03. Those who excepted the offer are earning on it even though they havn’t completed the offering yet.
6. Yes, we have a Diversification Contest where over 50% of our IRs routinely win trips (Not the 3-5% at most firms.) Yes, the trips are to places like:Greek Isle Cruise, Beaune France, Botswana Africa, Cambodia, Amalfi Coast, Italy.
7. Yes, my family has their own airstrip. Big deal.
8. The reason I bring up “A” shares is because Jones is the only firm that offers them because they are the least expensive way to buy a VA over the long term. It’s called doing what is right for the client. Maybe that’s why we scored the highest in customer satisfaction in the JD Power survey. Why don’t other firms sell “A” shares, Duh, they don’t make as much.
9. Yes, actually I was on the debate team.
10. Yeh I’m a moron / loser, whatever. Is that all you guys can come up with? Well then again you were not on the debate team, were you?
BPD
YOU????? ON THE DEBATE TEAM????? ROFLMAO!!!!!!!
Now I KNOW you're full of sh*t!

Hey I din’t write it!

Don’t you ever get tired of losing? I’m even getting tired of watching you lose!
Who’s the loser?
Here’s your worthless 16 posts:
1.That’s not what he said, you pimple.
2. If I had to guess, I’d say he meant what he said. But that’s just me. I don’t try to twist the words of others.
3. If you ever post anything worthy of debate, I’ll have more to say. Given the level of ignorance and the base demeanor that you’ve displayed so far, I’m not too worried about that ever happening.
4. Hey ChumpChange!
Is that your best shot? You’ve been cut to ribbons, and that’s the best you can do???
Here’s your sign!
5. YOU??? ON THE DEBATE TEAM??? ROFLMAO!!!
Now I KNOW you’re full of sh*t!
6. Don’t you ever get tired of losing? I’m even getting tired of watching you lose!
7. I’m not at Jones, but I did have one of their pinheads try to recruit me about three years ago. I went to his office to see what the hype was about. After he showed me their cutting edge technology, massive product array and generous payout schedule, I laughed in his face. I didn’t want to, I know it’s rude, but I couldn’t help myself. Anyone coming from indy or a reputable wirehouse would have to be a complete imbicile to go to Edward Jones, and complete imbiciles are rare. (I must concede that after reading some of the posts here by ChumpChange and others from Jones, that imbiciles are not as rare as I previously thought.)
8. Not being in Hawaii, I don’t know nor do I care.
9. It’s quite possible that other firms can “blow them out of the water” without tootin’ their own horn. In any event, it’s a simple person indeed who makes career decisions based upon a dubious survey in an obscure publication.
10. Most people aren’t aware of, let alone read, Fortune Magazine, so yes, I’d call it obscure.
11. As ours is a confidential business, how, I wonder, does the survey get the names of investors to query?
12. That’s fair enough, I guess. I don’t know that I’ve ever met anyone that’s been interviewed. (Of course, I’ve never asked either!)
13. Stan, judging by the thorough knowledge in evidence, quality and intellectual content of the posts submitted here by Edward Jones people, I’m not sure that they have opposable thumbs over there. And you want to give them technology???
14. I’ve been following these posts for some time now, and at long last the one thing I can be sure of is that BigPayDay is full of more shlt than a Christmas turkey.
Your moniker should be ChumpChange!
Have a nice life, Chump!
15. Price, I believe what is being said is that if you’re doing brain surgery, driving a garbage truck or anything outside of the securities industry, you can’t hold a securities license.
If you don’t like the answer, stop trying asking the question. It doesn’t look like the answer is going to change.
16. LOL…hostility? You don’t want to be around when it gets hostile here.
My favorites are #1 and #10.
BPD
Aren’t these diversification trips partially financed by the “preferred vendors”?
Who's the loser? You.
I'm personally getting a little bored with you. Every day you post ad nauseum, and every day you get b*tch slapped. I'll allow you the last word here, as for some reason that seems important to you, but know this: as long as you're working for that bottom tier scam artist you will never get the last laugh!
See you in the funny papers, Chump!
[quote=BigPayDay]Yup, 100%. That's why everyone on this board is jealous.[/quote]
Yup 100% wish we worked for a strip mall brokerage that lacks the basic tools, sends their reps to bother people door to door and runs "contests".
Actually ChumpChange, those comments are quite a bit above you. But then, almost everything is above you. Oh well.

Philo,
Another worthless post.
OK, if you like it better that way.
It's to honor you, idiot.
(Honestly, the other way is better.)
