Nice job Indy.
I would also second Ice’s suggestion that we let this thread die. For the sake of the kid. He’s probably a good guy, driven as we are, who just took a left in his thinking when he should have taken a right. I’m sure he learned something from it.
Lets all let it go and move on to more constructive things.
And Wind, = good luck.

[quote=iceco1d] Pretty easy to figure out who the class-acts are on this board, and who the genuine d|ckheads are.



Outting the guy is bullsh|t and I hope you get banned. [/quote]



I agree.



So why are you promoting an alternative site run by a webmaster with a long track record of outing people?



Do you see the irony in that?

Less “banter” goes on there, although if more people would participate, we could have more “social” chats on there too.



I’d encourage you, and anyone else, to participate over there. It’s a really great resource (and so is this forum).

One of the nice things about that forum is that it’s for industry professionals only - so threads like this won’t happen.



Hope you decide to stop by once in awhile. [/quote]



Don’t forget to tell him about how they like to dig up the id’s of board participants and post their pictures too…that’s always good for a few belly laughs.

I’m all for letting it die. Good luck wind.

Just to finish up this conversation, wind’s numbers are legit.  Everything he’s told you, as far as his commissions go, is true.  He sent me a PM with a screen print of his performance chart.  Even had his picture in it.  If his month ends the way he says it’s going to it puts him on track to hit Seg 2 before PDP.  I don’t think he can technically do that, but he’d have the numbers.   

  Now, wind, I the advice I would give you is to erase that screen name and create a new one.  Better yet, don't.  Think of all the other $200K accounts you could have found if you had been doorknocking instead of posting here!  Congrats on your success.  Keep it up and you've got a great future in this biz.

Congratulations wind - I was wrong. I don’t mind eating crow.

Spiff, yep, the whole 4 month rolling average thing.  Congrats Wind!

A $10k week in the first couple months on the job?  Like I said before on either this or a different thread, I know many advisors that sold their parents/uncles/grandparents/dads boss/etc a $200k annuity in the 1st couple months on the job.  Not hating, I’ve just been doing this long enough to see newbies come through with selling relatives huge commission products, have their #'s be propped up on a pedestal by the BM and being praised for all the “hard work”, only to have that well run dry sooner than later. 

  Good luck!

I’ll eat some crow too…assuming it wasn’t family/friend accounts.  I’m sure we will see/hear alot more about him.  St. Louis will no doubt have him all over Joneslink ala Josh from Hawaii as previously mentioned.  Good for you Wind…just take the advice given to you and change your profile etc!

Mar 20, 2009 4:47 pm

To be honest, I don’t care how he’s putting them up…good for him that he is. If it’s family, I know guys who’ve done that and ended up having to leave because they couldn’t get anything else in the pipeline. But I also know people who’ve made it rich off family and friends… whatever works.

[quote=wind3574]Ok Sports…I’m finished arguing…your right. Your company could NEVER do anything un-ethical. What was I thinking. Hope you’ve enjoyed some of my tax dollars…I’m done here…

  I simply disliked this little "look at me" prick until this post.  This statement is similar to many others he has made, makes an emotional point, but not based anywhere near fact.  I don't think he is lying, I think he is stupid and too arrogant to find the truth as that would mess up his little pitch.  Still waiting for you B share vs A share example, although  I know you will not post it Windy because it does not exist.  [/quote]

Would this be an example of proof of a disparaging remark towards a registered rep? I own you, little bitch.

Windy,

I thought everything came via cold calls?  I’m lost.

Your friend,

When I started with Jones, I had a 10K first month. The Regional Leader made a big point of pointing it out in front of the whole region. He said that if I maintained my pace I would be a million dollar producer by like month 47 or some crap like that. I didn't care for it.....It never made sense to me to hold up someone who had done that once in their first month as opposed to the Vets who were doing it month after month after month. It can certainly give you a false sense of self worth. The green culture has a way of doing that to you.

  I wish you the best, Wind....

:)  Now he’s doing 30k gross life insurance policies and nailing 2 million dollar accounts with a yawn.

I'm from Canada and don't know about your insurance payouts, but there might be a little froth to that $30k insurance policy
