[quote=snaggletooth]Wow.  The curriculum
is bit tough, between figuring out how to miss breakpoints and
justifying paying surrender charges to ALL clients.  Also, the
only product they know is American Funds.  But as tough as
Harvard?!?!  It’s not good to lie to prospects on the 1st
meeting.  [/quote]

I'd agree that the Harvard statement is a bit bold.

What he should have said is that EDJ is like Harvard Extension School...

snaggletooth what are you smoking?  Most Jones brokers go out of their way to hit breakpoints not miss them.

No wonder they all use AF exclusively.

Concerning your comments on climbing the hill, did you sit in HQ and wait for a big office to come open.  I guess I could have sat around blowing smoke up some GP's ass waiting for the great opportunity to open up.  Your probably the one at all the meetings talking about dking your way to success...and hell, you didn't do it. Your a fraud like the company you work for.

No big office here.  I did take over a small office ($9 mil to start, but about $3 mil left in the first year), but it wasn't something I was looking for.  I did a lot of doorknocking.  Still do in fact.  And I've got the 2 foot tall stack of prospecting logs to prove it.  I'm not the guy at the meetings standing up tooting my own horn.  I leave that to the guy in the region that just took over a $40 million book.

I've never said anything on this forum that wasn't true.  You may not agree with me, but still it's the truth as far as I know it. 

And AllReit - I've used more Goldman and Franklin this year than American.  They have breakpoints too.
