For the last 25 years that we’ve been in distribution we’ve seen and heard some absolutely outrageous things happen in the field.
For instance:
Legend has it that a wholesaler on an advisor top producer trip in Hawaii was compelled (after way too many Mai Tais) to demonstrate his prowess at lighting his, er, flatulence on fire – in front of clients!
In the end he got torched by his boss – fired that is.
How could we make this up?
We know you have seen and heard equally wacky things.
Tell us your story and maybe we’ll post it here (anonymously of course) in an upcoming section of the website called Believe it or Don’t – Wholesaler Tales From the Road.
After +15-years of service to our wholesaling community, I've now retired - and I’m committed to keeping all our resources available for future generations of wholesalers and their leaders – but only as long as it makes fiscal sense.
