With all of the talk on the board the past several weeks about the number of people that are below standard in different EDJ regions,

I thought I would take a look at our regional performance chart, and

see exactly what the numbers are in our region.



0-36 months of service     9 Meeting Standard / 3 Below Standard

37-72 months of service    7 Meeting Standard / 8 Below Standard

Over 72 months of service 25 Meeting Standard / 8 Below Standard



This totals out to:

0-36 months   - 75% Meeting / 25% Below

37-72 months - 47% Meeting / 53% Below

Over 72mths   - 75% Meeting / 25% Below



Total Regional numbers are - 68% Meeting / 32% Below Standard



These numbers obviously would be a lot better in a different market

setting, but still they are a lot better than what some have reported

for their regions. As the numbers indicate our region has a lot of

veterans which probably tilts our numbers to the Meeting Standard side

of the board. It appears those with 3 to 6 years of seniority are

feeling the most pain.

Also, I believe we only had two people in the region on goals before

the changes were made this week on PIP policy.

Based upon the amount of posting about high numbers of people with EDJ
being below standard in certain regions, I would say a lot of people.
I'm just giving a snapshot of what I see in our region. I wouldn't say
the numbers are good, but a far cry from what I have seen some post
on this board.

I just heard from Dan Tim that Jones is cancelling Div trips soon. Good luck with that.

That wouldn't surprise me. I would guess that a LOT of fund companies are cutting back, and I think they paid a decent amount of the trip budget.   I can see the front page now "AIG SUBSIDIZES EDWARD JONES REPS' HAWAII VACATION!"

I have not heard anything about trip reductions to this point. I would

think things would have to get worse before they would cut the trips, since the trips are such a longstanding part of compensation.

It would not surprise me if the trips were cut out because the fund companies pay a large portion of that as well as region meetings which have been cut back. The fund companies are having problems and regulators as well as media are watching for these under the table payments

  I think those number are interesting, but I also think, like you said, depends on how young the region is and how many new advisors were gk'd..   I got some numbers from my old region this morning with reps between 36-72 months the split is 38% meeting/62% below...again more metro area, younger region with older advisors refusing to do gk..

The seniority of the region makes a difference. I noticed when our

new numbers came out today that several more in the 37-72 months range

had fallen under standard.

Why not update your numbers from the original post? Especially since it was posted two days past the end of the sales month (therefore, it really was more than a month old data).
