Coaching Testimonials

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 have found the Wholesaler Masterminds group and Rob Shore specifically to be a great resource while I build my business in St. Louis. The ability to partner with some of the most successful wholesalers in the country; share ideas, discuss problems, celebrate victories and learn new strategies are but a few of the benefits of this group. Rob has become a mentor, a motivating force and a business coach to each of us in a unique and individual way. I would strongly recommend developing a relationship with Rob as we all need a great coach to be more successful than we imagine ourselves becoming on our own.

-Dick Miller

I truly do find great value in my relationship with you. Our call the other night was extremely productive. You are a unique indvidual with great ideas and offer very helpful leadership. Any wholesaler will find value in working with you. I certainly plan to continue to network with you and rely on any resources and ideas that you put out there. I would also be very happy to refer anyone I can your way.

I have had the privilege to tap into the coaching and mentoring resources of Rob Shore. Rob is an accomplished Senior Leader in the distribution of investment products. His vast experience and highly developed leadership competencies enable Rob to be highly effective as a coach within the financial services industry.

A critical skill of any leader/coach is the ability to communicate. I have come to appreciate his ability to not only listen, but hear me as well. As a result, Rob always delivers a “tell it to me straight” message. Rob constantly challenges me and the status quo – always seeking to help me become memorable in my own way. Through Rob’s creative coaching approach, I am positioned to continue to differentiate myself which will allow me to stand apart and ahead of my competition. Thank you Rob!

Rob Shore is more than a coach; he’s truly an expert on having the skills and approaches that are most important in today’s world. He possesses that unusual skill of being successful both at living the role of consummate salesperson and also of helping others understand how to emulate it. His relationships are deep and long-standing: I explain that as a result of his perfect blend of heart, intellectual rigor and a practical nature. His ability to coach others to his level of success, and beyond, comes from his extensive experience and his special gift for hearing all the possibilities underneath what’s said to him. He has been invaluable to me in my business as a mirror, an idea generator and a great supporter of my accomplishing what I’ve set out to do.

-Laura Rosenbaum

Rob is the kind of coach that possesses an ability to be both startlingly honest and incredibly compassionate. When Rob agreed with a business venture of mine or encouraged me to take risks, it always spoke volumes more than any other person in my life. His honesty, credibility, and past experience continually proves to enable him to give some of the most solid business advice I’ve ever had. He won’t tell you what you want to hear, but he’ll certainly have higher expectations than you had for yourself and undoubtedly believe you can reach them. And, further than believing in you, he’ll give you the concrete tools necessary to take you from mediocre straight into greatness.

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.

Over my wholesaling career, I have learned more about memorability from Rob Shore than from every other person I’ve come in contact with, combined. He brings enthusiasm and creativity to the forefront while backing it up with superb blocking and tackling. Rob’s coaching ability is top notch and has provided me with insight, creativity and honest dialogue all of which have helped drive my effectiveness. He’s instrumental in any success I’ve enjoyed.

-Larry Nisenson

Even coaches need a coach and Rob Shore has been a terrific coach for me. We both have extensive experience in the financial services industry but as my coach Rob has a knack for cutting through the clutter and getting me to focus on the key issues that will help me grow my business; a key trait of a great coach. Rob’s successful track record as a producer, manager and executive in the financial services industry gives him a firm grasp on what it takes to succeed in this industry especially during these challenging economic times. He is also adept at guiding me through the myriad ways of using social media and other technological resources to build my business.

We all need an edge in this market and Rob’s coaching gives me that edge.

-Mark Hoaglin, President, Above The Crowd Business Development Group

Salespeople, by nature, often like to think they have all the answers. As a member of a group being coached by Rob, I was extremely impressed with his ability to draw out valuable ideas and insights from a diverse group of salespeople and getting us to “think outside the box”. Rob is a very good motivator.

-Dan Wagner

Rob’s been a leader in the financial services industry for years. But as a coach, he can really help you take your business to a new level. It’s not just about sales skills or best practices. Rob can show you how to build your personal brand, develop a strategy for success, and become truly memorable. And, today more than ever, it’s vitally important to stand out from the crowd.
