The complex manager said I had to speak to one other person more than likely over the phone.  I just don’t get it though…I mean the BM likes me, the CM likes me, what is the hold up?  I need to speak to this other guy but is there going to be any other hurdles?  Any other assessments?  Any other tests?  I mean it’s been going on for 5-6 weeks, I just want an offer and get it done.  I think they rarely hire people, I don’t they’ve hired anyone in the last year or possibly longer.  Any insight would be appreciated…I’m in the Chicago area if that matters or not.

Let us know how you make out with that.

  [quote=NewRep17]I thought this portion of this website was for newbies to ask questions.  I figured they wouldn't pay for that stuff but I didn't know.  Simple question.  I don't have any disillusions about how difficult it will be to make it.  I also know that I probably won't have time to get my CFP or MBA until at least after year 3.  I appreciate the bashing but you still have failed to discourage me.  I have a big network and I have already laid the groundwork to get referrals and immediate business.  I will have a Sr. Partner and I know what it will take.  I will probably have to cold call 2-4 hours per day, try to set at least 1 meeting per day, and try to make 30 contacts per day.  I also know if I can land a few solid 401 K's I'll be fine.  I thought I read on here that people fail at MSSB due to laziness, complaining it's too difficult, not calling when available to call, working 50 hours, etc.  I also thought I read that the MSSB qualifiers aren't as difficult to attain.  Moreover, I plan on working 7 am to 7-9 pm EVERYDAY, and 4-6 hours on the weekends.  As I said, I'm not concerned, I won't be in the 80% who fails.  [/quote]
