My name is Ashley. I've been with Edward Jones for about 10 years, and am level 7 production starting new, no assets. I was wondering if anyone here has experience with social media. |

My experience with social media is that most of it isn't allowed, and what is has to be funneled through compliance so it comes out pretty bland. My guess would be that Jones is even more restrictive.

I'm up to about 300 followers on my company FB page, mostly clients and their immediate family and friends. It costs something like $15 a month for the Socialware so compliance can monitor. The legacy trainee I have said they're being taught to use social media for prospecting. I doorknocked my way until referrals and networking started paying off. But the trainee and a few others have said more and more business for them is coming from FB. |

I have a LinkedIn account, and haven't logged in since I can't even remember when. My contacts there are all probably recruiters and salesmen. I wonder whether the time spent to build all this up is worth it. I've had clients and prospects ask whether I'm on Facebook, but have never had one ask about LInkedIn. |

| LinkedIn would be more for proactive recruiting. Adding connections who are searched by niches you served and personally reaching out to them. I have had most success with this method. Far more than that of Facebook as you can not be proactive and solicit their following you since it's a business page. |

It wasn't a help at all the first few years. People wouldn't take me seriously. I started at 25, and looked maybe 18. Doorknocking was difficult at best. I had to reach out to veteran women advisors for best practices on all the crap women deal with that men don't. Now it's easier, and I wouldn't be surprised if much of my new business is as least partly influenced by my appearance. |

At least this chick realizes how much her appearance helps her. When we had a hot assistant, all of our older male clients always asked about her and were eager to sign anything she put in front of them. I also noticed their eyes gazing at her ass as she walked them back to conference room. You have to accept it and use it to your advantage Ashley. |

I market to professional women in my area - I'm in a wealthier suburb of a major metro. You can trip over $500,000 rollovers all day here. Especially early on, I found women easier to work with and develop a business relationship. Men were very eager to talk, but slow to do business if they did anything at all. So I don't proactively go after men, unless I've been introduced by a referral or networking group or my CPA/estate lawyer, that kind of thing. The problem I ran into was the wife would freak out on me when I'd call or F2F the house when prospecting them. So I've basically given up chasing men as clients for that reason. I really do try to not leverage sex or appearance when prospecting. I think it's selling out and it'll eventually come back to destroy me. |

I'm raising my niece, and she says I look like the host from Make Way for Noddy. My BOA said she can see the resemblance. I don't. After reviewing a few of the threads on here I could find, I'll shelf the idea about social media for now. |

I receive routine calls and have picked up great clients from ads - church bulletins, place mats at local restaurants, country club guides, real estate welcome wagon booklets. I still run an ad in the church bulletins and country club guides. I'm on social media, but I have had issues with being stalked on my personal Facebook page, which is undiscoverable now. My LinkedIn contacts are mostly sales professionals and whoever sends out random requests. I haven't controlled the contacts quality and rebuilding it from scratch would be a real hassle. I sense value in seeking rollovers from job changers, but I pick those up from referrals anyway. |

This. Especially if you look like who you claim to look like (must not be a lot of toddler parents on this board, the Make Way for Noddy host is easy on the eyes). I know, I know. Give me the liberal argument "well I shouldn't have to." Well, you're damn right you shouldn't have to, but that's not going to stop shadow bush man. A ruger .380 with with "self defense rounds" will though (just ask for them at academy, they aren't expensive). You can carry that thing in your pocket. It only takes a weekend to get your CWL.

You have my sympathy on the stalker thing. I really can't imagine having the feeling of being afraid all the time. That's no joke. ...but I don't see how saying a <insert non-sexist word for woman here> who has a problem with some creepy dude to arm herself is insensitive. So on taking the approach of "walking a mile in the other person's shoes" that would be what I would do. I know I wouldn't want to be worried, all the time, about the guy hiding in the bushes.

Yes no and no You might be right and might not. Women don't care about that. All I see is that if I have nine men by me one is probably a rapist The way you guys talk on here. A rapist pig as President. It's safer to be a rich white rapist in college than a black family man. Scooby hints she was stalked and raped and you guys say get over it and get a gun and ask about her breasts and rear end and whether shes hot Whats that about?

You're right because I was talking logically, rather than addressing feelings. I do know a woman who was raped multiple times by different men... and NO they were not "asking" for it. (Sorry, but she didn't even register on the scale of 1-10, let alone 'dress provocatively' or anything like that.) But for some reason, she was raped twice by different men. Probably an easy target for the assault, which is exactly what it was. This is a prank video... but ask yourself how YOU would react: |

My pastors daughter gave me the book thirteen reasons why. Shes the only person who knows what happened to me in my life. The girl in the book is Hanna and she is raped. But thats not why she killed herself. It was all the little things people said and did that were a joke or that didnt respect her. Hannahs school adviser said to forget it happened since she didn't want to name the boy. Forget it happened. Just forget it. Like you can forget having your soul ripped apart. My friend let me cry for hours. Thats what I needed then not a gun or karate just someone to listen. I never said it then but I really want d to die. Even four years later I still feel that hurt like it would be better to die. A gun wont fix that or make me trust a guy enough to go out That meme is not funny its sad |

I don't understand how you can function in this industry with this kind of fear and/or trust issues. I can only guess that you might only work with single or divorced women? (There's a big demand in that niche.) You only have a few posts, so I can't guess your business model or anything about what you do in the industry, but I can generally guarantee you that these fears and/or trust issues... will affect your performance in this business, until you find a way for you to control it, rather than let these fears control you.
Edit: I see now that you're just new to the industry. Well, this is an item that you won't learn from your firm if you're going to be in a prospecting role of any kind. If you can't find a way around this, I would suggest a support role, or another industry in general.

I can see that being more meaningful for you where you can empower (and heal) yourself and others through that kind of work.
While there is an element of psychology in working with people with their money, you have to LOVE being in this business. If you don't love what you do, you won't do nearly as well as someone who can really get into it. You can 'help your dad with the phones', but you need to tell him how you really feel and go into something where you really see yourself being successful. The money won't come to (or stay with) someone who doesn't love what they do.

My dad is teaching me to control how people see me if I want to make it when he retired I always wear a mask I have to because I hate men so much. Not because all are bad but because you don't think how women see your words and how they feel what you say. Your not trying to be a rapist pig or sound like you condone it or anything but many things you guys say on here echo in our hearts and really hurt If you said that kind of stuff to me that was said to scoot even a year ago I'd lock myself in a bathroom and want to cut myself. That would hurt less than how I feel with those words. I think my dad is a sociopath because I can tell he fakes empathy with his customers I don't want to ever need to fake how I feel |

Let me emphatically say this: this business and industry is NOT for you. This business takes a thick skin for success as a planner. Given how you feel about your dad, you just need to quit - YESTERDAY. Just don't show up and let what happens happens. However, I doubt you'll do it... because he is a man, and you said he's a sociopath. And you're too full of fear to shake up the status quo. The sooner you take charge of your own life, the sooner you can change your life. Right now, you are REACTING to everything - even this little paragraph of text. That's no way to live. You need to find YOUR WAY of being PROACTIVE in your life towards what YOU want. Here's the first bit of truth I want you to learn: this forum, or anyone else, is NOT responsible for how you REACT to them. Your reaction is your responsibility. In fact, look at the word 'responsible'. You are able to control your response. That's an evolved way of looking at your emotional reactions to things. Don't change the world. Change YOUR world... and everything else will change for you. I'd read the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey and learn some principles on how to master control over yourself and develop influence in others.

| Keep in mind none of us here were condoning rape and the word "rape" seems like a huge leap given the context. It's men being men and by that I mean they were talking about the elephant in the room- this business is different if you're a woman. That's reality. This is what happens when men can comment and be anonymous and this won't be popular with you two, but scooby is overreacting and you're both bringing baggage from before to a place where it has no place.

Words have meaning and can change lives or end them even in here. Words start and end wars. Some of you got divorced cause of words Our bodies healed already. I volunteer at my college for a sex assault program. The words these girls here after the rape is worse than the rape and some kill themselves for it. One girl did because of what her dad said Words are expensive. You guys are in money business pretend every word you write on here costs you something. You write a check from your soul for every word you say or write. Will that check bounce when a girl cashes it in her soul? I don't think any of you are rapists at least I hope not. But what you say can hurt far worse than the act itself. Always remember that Sorry to bother I can see I don't belong here |

It's frightening to think she may be right when she suggested the rape statistics. I often think the same, though I hope it's not true. She privately emailed me asking whether she should return. I told her not to and to just stay away. Don't go navigating a mine field. You are asking for trouble. |

I have a friend who is a former Navy SEAL who has made it his "retirement job" to stop campus sexual assault. On campuses, it's actually 1 in 5 women experience rape, and 1 in 16 men. Men are estimated to be underreported by quite a bit. Outside of that, the stats are about 11.2%, which is close to the 1 in 9 (for women). When this analysis was done in the military, men were found to experience approximately the same level of sexual assault as women. That said, all of these depend upon the definition of sexual assault. In some cases, sexual assault can mean catcalling, touching someone's shoulder from behind (surprising them). Physical sexual assault itself has wide-ranging definitions. The research methods vary wildly. |

You come on to a forum, get a feel for it and have to see this isn't a warm and cuddly place.. And you throw something out about being stalked, and you're upset because I asked you about it? What the hell did you expect? Suck it up, this isn't a place where you'll get sympathy. Or a place where a bunch of white knights will come to your rescue.
EDIT: Ok so maybe I feel bad about saying what I said above. Sorry if I hurt your feelings or brought up bad memories. Just be careful what you divulge on a place that doesn't seem to care for feelings. (I hate always trying to do to right sometimes.)

Holy balls. I can't decide if I regret reading this or if it's the joke of the day. It all depends on what the definition of is is. Rape Culture. Carrying protection doesn't help. I'm a giant of a man in above average shape with significant martial arts training. I also own multiple guns including ARs. Still, I have been raped nearly a dozen times by multiple women. Many of my friends have also been raped by women. Some of us have been raped by the same woman. It's an epidemic. True story. But What I'm most ashamed of is that I enjoyed it. |
