No longer at Edward Jones, looking into options
68 RepliesJump to last post
Well, I just got home and this thread has been all over the place. I was between 4-8 months past PDP when I was let go(anonymity) and when I hit PDP I was in excess of 120% above standard. The working out of my house thing began to be of great detriment in building relationships, office backed up do to lack of production, adn I couldnt get my head back above water. I did the work, just stopped being effective after awhile. I even had a few rollover/ transfer meetings in my living room, but that ended the relationship once, and put me on the blow off list.
As stated earlier, I received good advice while at Jones from people on this board, including Spiff early on and I amnot going to bad mouth the firm. At the end of the day in that structure I didnt get the job done, but I feel in a different set of circumstancces, given my success in the beginning and my past experience I have the potential to succeed. I originally posted to get insightful input and opinions. I am open to different industry ideas, and firm/bank reccomendations for my given situation. Thanks again DCNEWStill if the title of this thread was meant to be ironic then kudos. I’m a little slow. If you wanted to trade options you could’ve stayed at Jones and asked them if it was ok to open an account elsewhere I know they do that for risk takers of options and commodities.
The OP was just let go from EDJ...he is looking for LIFE OPTIONS....not to trade options!!!Still if the title of this thread was meant to be ironic then kudos. I’m a little slow.

I take back the Kudos Still, you still suck, the kudos rightfully belong to DCnew I misread who started this thread.
I know I just wanted to point out the irony in verbage if no one else picked up on it.
I’m sorry. I hate whiners and you are whining. “If only I had this, if only I had that”. If you want something you make it happen regardless of your circumstances. Successful people don’t start with everything, true success is made by changing your own circumstances. Couldn’t work outta your house? Then make a few calls and find a legacy. don’t have enough in commissions, then make more calls or change up your process. Everything else is just an excuse for your failure.
