"First of all, I just want to say that I have learned so much from you in the past couple of days, since joining Don Connelly 24/7. THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to talk to me on the phone and calm me down for my pre-production assessment on Thursday! Your CD's just arrived in the mail yesterday & I've been listening to them each time I get in my car.  I love your style and ability to say it like it is. You have such a fantastic way of putting things into perspective and I have no doubt that I will be a GREAT Financial Advisor as long as I work hard, stick tothe basics, and stay positive!  Thank you for your help."

"I really enjoyed listening to you. After I heard you say, “It’s simple. If I don’t ask, I can’t be rejected”, I called a lady who has been with another Advisor for ten years. I had a portion of her money and told her she should consider moving her entire account to me. Guess what? She agreed with me that all her money in one spot was a good idea. This was the third try. Thanks for pushing me."

"I just finished reading your sales idea “The Curse of the Bell Curve” and it was right on the money. It is some of the best stuff you have assembled. This is a simple business as you state over and over. It is just hard work. I can’t tell you what a wonderful mentor you have been to me over the years. Thank you for your efforts and dedication to mu success. It is appreciated. "

“Fifteen years ago I had little more than drive and a purchased list of supposedly wealthy families. I found myself fortunate to have a fostering environment at my firm; as well as your inspirational and motivational tapes.
Each quarter I would look forward to your stories and anecdotes that helped build my most valuable asset in this business: confidence.
Thank you for all of the years of pounding the same themes into our heads to make us advisors more skilled and successful leaders in this business.”

"A hearty note of gratitude! I want to thank you for your coaching and advice via your CDs. When I reflect what it took to grow my business at this level (top 5 of 600 Advisors), I have to give you a lot of the credit. Coaching has got to be the best business building tool that this industry has. Thanks so much!"

I drove over to Boston from Albany to hear you and it was worth the trip.  I think I needed a little pep talk and knew you would stimulate some ideas.  I took away several ideas from your presentation but the one that has stuck with me is “Optimism is a choice”.  I am tired of coming to work opening that lap top lid and having a little black box tell me what kind of day I am going to have.  So I am working on choosing to have a good day regardless of what the markets are doing.  I am also starting to prospect which is something I have not done in a very long time.
I joined your website as a premium member and have been reviewing the material. As an independent rep in a solo office sometimes I feel like a hermit.  I have very little interaction with peers.  The only professional communication I have is with clients.  I found the site to be worthwhile.

I've listened to your CD's over and over on my IPOD and I appreciate your insights. You have been very influential in helping me in this business and I think you are amazing! Keep it up! I look forward to hearing your new CDs in the future and I will be sure to look into what you have to offer on your website."
