Benjamin Hein started his career over a decade ago after correlating the farmers almanac with the stock market and thus creating a near 80% predictability within specific sectors of the stock market. He formerly worked at the cooperate office for Edward Jones in St louis, working in various departments including estates, and offices in transition. He serviced over 3000 clients, while holding his license in 50 states and managed over 100 million in assets. When asked why he moved back to his native pan-handle (Pensacola), He jokes “I had a receding hairline, and not a receding waistline!”
Something few know about Ben: He had Harvard applications with recommendation letters in a bid for a ‘full ride’ to get a masters In divinity to become a pastor. (ultimately God canceled his plans!)
Like many financial advisors, in an industry where the failure rate is a near 90%! It is easy to doubt your path.
The statistics: Around 250,000 resume’s were summited the year Ben was hired, about 56,000 people got through the electronic application process, 9000 were interviewed (across 50 states) and a little over 200 were selected to go through FA Career Development Program. (its easier getting into Harvard)
He worked with and studied under the underwriter who worked with Sam Walton for the public offering of Walmart, as well as O’Reillys auto parts. Has had the privilege’s of working with the former Economic Advisor under the Regan administration; Is apart of the technology counsel for Edward Jones on advancing client and advisor-facing financial technology. He has independently interviewed over 100 financial professionals on, ‘what would you do differently’ and ‘at what point did it ‘click.’ (someday he will publish his findings!). Since starting with Edward Jones he hasn’t worked a day yet, and finds that his true ministry is serving people and business so that they may serve others.
