[quote=newnew]entry--if your a newby at JOnes, my advice is to not spend any time on this site, but to work extremely hard at not reinventing the wheel--simply customize the training to your abilities thru trial and error (i.e. many many hours of prospecting by phone, doorways, and businesses). there is no shortcut--go out there and get beat up til you figure it out[/quote]

Ha, I'm certainly not a newbie at Jones.  I am doing well in the Merrill POA program, just scared that I'm getting tunnel vision and wanted to look at other methods of prospecting that the vets seem to think is vital, and I got some good answers.

Ahnabuttkiss - 65,000 annually in production over each of my first two years, I would lose my job...  If you can live on $26,000/year, then you're doing great.

God you're so smart. You actually KNOW what my grid looks like and how I get paid..no questions asked. Amazing. You live better than I do because the number expected out of you is 5k higher than my current pace.

Enough of this bad mouthing. Good luck to you.

Well I am at Merrill, so regardless of my production (sans a windfall), I am on a miniscule salary for two years.  Regardless, I really didn't mean to turn into "likes to fight guy."  I've had enough, I really just wanted a few honest opinions.  I guess I assumed since you were new that your grid looked like everyone elses, being that you probably didn't start the biz indy.  No hard feelings...good luck, and even at Merrill, I work with a lot of folks that are trailing far less than 60k in the first 12 months, good luck to you.  Hopefully 10 years from now we'll both be the elders on the board that "made it" in the business.
