Ryan J Kruse
Financial Representative
Region: Western

Before becoming a Financial Representative, I was a student at Colorado State University. I graduated in the fall of 1996 with a degree in business management. I entered this career for the income potential, the freedom and the opportunity to help people.

 

I appreciate the freedom and flexibility this career allows and the ability to work with the people I like and want to be around.

The biggest challenge by far is prospecting. And early in the career, it's challenging living month to month financially, trying to successfully implement all parts of the sales cycle.
 
Along the way, though, I've learned the limits I put on myself are the only limits I have.
 
A Time I Made a Difference
One of my best clients was able to enter into a fairly large investment through the discussions we had together. He was excited and thankful.

Notable Milestones
The best milestone has been making Million Dollar Round Table, and I try to exceed past production each year and grow my business. 

Awards are great, but my primary focus is on my practice, my clients and my family.

Sound Career Advice
Make the commitment that it is a career, not a job. You get out what you put in.
 
Our company is differentiated by its ethics, financial strength and a needs-based focus.
  
Outside of Work
I am a member of a local SERTOMA Club. I am an avid fisherman, and I also enjoy hunting, hockey, football, family and church.
