Testimonials from Registered Reps

"I got a bunch of initial queries from firms. I picked out a few that I already knew about, though I did respond to a couple of firms I never heard of that sent interesting responses... I'll let you know what happens."

­ Portland, OR

"Very cool. You still have to speak with firms directly, but I did some initial screening using the site. In answer to your question, no, I wouldn't have just called these firms directly. I definitely wanted to stay anonymous initially."

­ Ronkonkoma, NY

"I didn't actually put a profile on the site. I'm just using the contact info on your list of firms. I don't mind calling directly, but I've only given my name out to... I'm actually filling out their application packet and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna make a move."

­ Mount Joy, PA

"Yes, it's a done deal but I hope I don't need it again for a long time. Thanks for your support and encouragement."

­ Plano, TX

I'm just keeping my options open... And no, I wouldn't have put a profile on if you had asked for any personal info... Yes I would recommend it to any broker. Why not? You have nothing to lose.

Testimonials from Our Broker Dealer Affiliates

"I love the site. Thanks for providing financial advisors a forum to get their questions answered on their terms: discreetly. Because Raymond James has 5 different affiliation options, I frequently get questions from advisors regarding our platforms. Now with RepsTradingPlaces.com, I have access to advisors who normally wouldn't call me directly because they're concerned about remaining anonymous until they have enough information to make the best decision for their business, their clients and their families. I've been able to extend offers to advisors who may have never taken the leap of faith to call, in fear it would jeopardize their current situation. Most of those offers have resulted in increasing our sales force. It also, has been a great advertising tool, as I get phone calls from advisors who simply saw my profile on your site, whether they created a profile or not. I also know its working because I use a unique phone number to track it and my phone keeps ringing. It's been well worth the investment and the time. Thank you for offering this new service. I look forward to watching your business grow."

"We joined TradingPlaces and we're finding it to be very valuable. It's very easy to use, it puts our name out in front of reps and it puts candidates into our pipeline. I've been recruiting for 15 years and I don't know of a more cost-effective approach. I'm having conversations with 3 reps right now. Highly recommended."

If you're not on this site, you are missing the newest and best source for growing your business.
