Yeah, yeah, keep talking, someday you might say something intelligent.

HA Ha ha.  I am laughing at all you non bank brokers.  Lets be real here, you don't like prospecting and cold calling.  I don't like it.  It sucks.  Therefore, i choose to take a job that requires very little of either.  Money either walks in or is sent to my office.   That is the only difference bertween you and I.  Yep, I can offer any product under the SUN. 

On top of that I will make over six figures this year and don't work on Friday.  Oh yeah, I'm 27.  If you think your job is better, congratulations.  This works for me.

You're gonna make 7 figures this year?

By the way...I love prospecting. I love closing large deals. Of course, I'm more of an entrepreneur, as opposed to an employee, like you. I like to make things happen, not have things happen TO me. I could parachute from an airplane anywhere in the world and as long as I have a telephone and a list of phone numbers, I'll be fine. You'll be fine as long as someone hires you to build their business and hands you work to do.

I'll be fine b/c i have other sources of income.  I am a corporation with many divisions.  Financial advising being one of them. 

That is also why i work in a bank.  The position gives me a good income with time left to pursue other endeavors.  Will i make seven figures in the bank.  No.  Will my other pursuits and advising pay seven, not yet, but it will.

By the way my bank program is more like an indy program.  I choose all the products that we will use for the program.  Bank management doesn't have a clue as to what I do.  As long as they see a check, all is well.  So i have to differ on the employee statement.

Large deals, i have a 412i in the pipeline that will GDC about $200,000.  Banker sent them to my office.

Bobby, it's okay...it's really understandable.  It's okay to feel the way you do.

When I graduated college, myself and two friends all went into the industry.  The difference?  One was completely taking over his retiring father's $52MM (that means million Bobby) book, and the other was going to junior broker for his Dad, who only had about $150MM in his book.

What did I have?  Squat.  But I worked my a$$ off and stayed in despite the struggle, and envy of my friends' guaranteed success.  I felt just like you Bobby, like I was on some higher moral ground because I was creating something from nothing, rather than having it handed to me. 

But you know what???  It isn't higher ground...it's just what you have to tell yourself to keep from throwing yourself out the 21st floor after weeks at a time of fruitless cold calling.  Why wouldn't you take every advantage available?  When the bank came knocking, I jumped.  Why?  Because it was like I finally got to inherit a book...not a book of clients mind you, but a huge book of OPPORTUNITIES.  Needless to say, these few years later I am on much more equal footing with my two friends than I was grinding it out at the wirehouse.

So as you can see, I understand your envy...so I can excuse your silly little comments.

i just laugh at the wirehouse & indy guys making fun of bank brokers. keep making fun of us, and we will keep making the $$$

.....making the money, with considerably less work.  How can someone be criticized for making there job easier?

Why are any of you giving Hull the time of day?

Lets look at some facts:

He has posted 729 times since March 13. That is almost 9 times a day (including weekends) If you exclude weekends he posts almost 13 times a day.

Do you really think he is the big closer he likes to talk about?

Think about it. If you posted on here 10 times a day, how much time would you have to be Mr. Prospector? He has no credibilty and I am tired of him taking good threads and degrading them to this drivel.

It would be best to just not answer him. It is obvious he is someone that doesn't have a job, or has one that he does not like and is not good at. Just leave him alone, he will go away.
