Right!  How would you like this guy to be CEO of your company.

fogging a mirror is the only requirement to work at a bank? this coming from the person who said " Net result is irrelevant"

There's a big difference between what it takes to get the job and keeping it.  Fantastic Straw Man argument though.

Kudos to you!  Seriously, great job of a book over 110MM and your only 30. 

My thoughts are that you had to make significant sacrifices and "bust your ass" for that book.  I choose not to.  There are other things that i want my life to be about than this job.  The bank allows that, while providing me with a good income. 

My only point is, and has always been, the channel of work does not define the brokers ability.

The people who work at McDonalds have business thrown at them, too. We entrepreneurs see you kids in the same light.

You're lack of business accumen is obvious.  I absolutely do not believe you have a 110 million dollar book..not because it isn't possible, but because it isn't possible for someone like yourself.  Think on that awhile kid.

I'm not going to spell it out for you moron...let's just say I make money in other ways besides selling LPL's wrap account.

As CEO I'd replace you with another punk kid that would work for 1/2 of what you do.  That's what happens when you make yourself a commodity.

And you are an idiot for thinking that taking shortcuts in life gives you respect.  I own my business.  I could sell it tomorrow for 7 figures. 

Ferris, as a fellow AGE FC, I didn’t know you could sell your book.  At least for a good %.  Good posts though, Bobby, I mean Ferris.

Hey moron, I worked at a bank, and know all about the "sweet deals only certain star bank reps get"............but then I left rehab, and got a real job.

I'll refer to my old branch manager's best comment: "Banks and used car lots are where brokers go who can't prospect"..........

That about says it all............ 

Once again, how does your inability to negotiate a good contract and show the bank boys your value have to do with me?

I just  don't get it.  And this is for all indy's.  Why all this negativity?  If you like your job so much, great.  I like mine.  Why the constant need to pull your dick out and boast of your magnificent aptitude.  And insult those who choose another path.

Here is a thought.  We are all different people with differnt personalitiies and values.  So, it is no suprise that we gravitate toward different channels to do the job.   That's it.  If you continue to argue, i must only conclude that deep down you are not happy and want something different for yourself. 

I wish every one success.  And truly hope that happiness comes with that success.

Good Luck!

Spoken like a true bank broker.

I'm all for civility, but have not seen a lot.  I thought this was a place where I coudl share ideas and bounce stuff off other folks and tap into their experience, but so far I have been proven wrong............

The first post I made on here was about if I should set up and RIA or not based on some criteria.  BankFC jumped down my throat and accused me of not having an clients and other BS that was downright stupid, and I don't need that crap. 

I am still mulling whether this forum is worth it or not.  I'm glad I read some stuff from "the judge" and "old producer", they at least seem willing to share of their wisdom.

There also appear to be no moderators on here, which I find interesting.........

I knew I liked you, Mr. Hull.  Thanks for reminding me I am wasting my time arguing with bank reps of all people.

See you guys around, maybe in a year or so I'll be back.......

Peace,

Actually, I am building two businesses right now.  You wouldn't understand, since you've never built one.

Arbonne and Mary Kay don't count.

Really...no Mary Kay?!?  Darn, I hate that!  The Mary Kay lipstick I sold your wife looked so good on her lips wrapped around my d*ck too...

FWIW, Goldman brokers do cold call.  They're not making hundreds of dials a day to lead lists, but cold calling is one of their prospecting methods.  At least in the office in my area, they're required to make about 50 calls a week to people like executives and HNW prospects who fit their criteria.  It is very targeted cold calling, but it is cold calling.

You just don't get it.  Maybe because you have a tiny penis, I'm not sure.

Most of us would much rather work for our success, than have something spoon fed to us.  Net result is irrelevant.  Anyone can do what you do so don't think you've invented something new or delude yourself into thinking that you are smarter for being lazy.  What is relevant is that we have **earned** what we have.  The world has much more respect for Ivanka Trump than for that spoiled brat Paris Hilton.

so i guess brokers at goldman that get ibanking clients  referred to them are lazy...they would be better off "working" at a wirehouse or indy so they feel that their income has been "earned" instead of spoon fed
