“Over the last few months of our Wholesaler Masterminds calls I have been able to gain valuable insight into wholesaling in general, but more importantly a valuable insight into me as a wholesaler.

• What sets us apart?
• What makes us more or less effective?
• How do we position ourselves as a real value to our clients?
• Do we work towards our clients needs and objectives, or do we push our own agenda on the client?

These are all topics and discussions that have been shared on the calls and the give and take has made me a better wholesaler. It can never be understated that we continuously learn from our peers no matter what “product” they are selling, whether it is life, annuities, funds or LTC…..selling is selling.

Rob masterfully facilitates these calls and maintains the proper balance to ensure we as a team are meeting the call objectives. I highly recommend any wholesaler, in any product line, to take a look at Wholesaler Masterminds.

The worst that can happen is you will learn something new”

—Patrick Kane, MA

“Rob has amazing ideas to help you grow your business – it’s up to you to figure out how to put them into action. In one case he suggested a promotion and our advisers loved it. We had at least 50 inbound calls (no exaggeration) over three weeks just to inquire!

The promotion also facilitated a business conversation with 170 other advisers. It was amazing too see a small conversation starter lead to big business opportunities.

It is a promotion that has been, and continues to be, a huge success!

My time and money spent in Wholesaler Masterminds has been worth every penny – and more.

Thanks Rob!”

—Ernest Schalansky, IL

“After my first call on Wholesaler Masterminds I knew I found something priceless. Rob delivers, and uncovers (from the group of seasoned, top notch masterminds in the group) more actionable ideas in a one hour call than I have ever read in a book that takes days to read. Rob’s passion for coaching, and wholesaling is unbelievable, and extremely engaging……….contagious even, no risk of H1N1. I look forward to each session, and the motivation it provides me. One may say it compares to drinking 67.2 bottles of “5 Hour Energy” at once………that’s two weeks worth for those of you who dislike math.”

“I’ve had the unique experience of working for Rob, participating in his Wholesaler Masterminds calls and attending a few of his coaching and training sessions. Over the last ten years that I have known Rob he has always been a great leader, coach and mentor and I owe a great deal of my success to his guidance. In the financial services industry he has worked as a wholesaler, a national sales manager, a high level executive and is now offering his years of experience to firms and individuals who want to take their sales skills to the next level.

In sales long term shelf space is not won by having the product of the month, it is earned by consistently having the best and most memorable sales force on the street. Through his firm shorespeak, Rob not only offers his coaching skills but also all the sales and technology tips and tools to put you head and shoulders above your competition. I highly recommend Rob Shore! ”

“I have had the privilege of knowing Rob for the past 10 years. Rob is one of those rare people in the universe who encompass the passion, energy and talent in the pursuit of making a difference in peoples lives. This occurs not through the tried and true cliches of wholesaling. But rather in a way that inspires all of those he touches to reach within themselves to attain their maximum potential as both people and professionals.

Rob Shore is unique in the industry of financial products distribution. Rob spent a large part of his career calling on financial advisors to help them build their individual practices. This foundation provided Rob with a unique perspective in how to grow top-line sales and bottom-line profitability through all distribution channels. I believe this background was instrumental as Rob led Allstate Financial Distributors to become a leader within all distribution platforms during the past decade.

Rob’s desire to embrace change puts him light-years ahead of countless others in our industry that seek to engage wholesalers in the area of practice management. Rob’s professional experience along with his ability to recognize the necessary core competencies of wholesale distribution are significant in today’s world of intermediary distribution. I recommend Rob to any institution that is looking to grow their distribution company and help financial advisors become more profitable in their individual practices.”
