Ed has become a trusted resource and partner to me…providing incredible insight, feedback, and techniques.

[His] immense dedication to ensuring the success of the financial representatives…is remarkable and selfless. He has become a beacon of light and role-model…exemplifying what great coaching, development, and support looks like. He has unfailingly and enthusiastically helped develop content to showcase his best practices around role-play, one-on-one coaching, discipline, etc.

[He] is committed to their success in the business, and have created a community of support around them. Like any family member would, he nurtures and challenges them, pushing them out of their comfort zone, to help them grow.

Ed’s leadership is an immeasurable asset.

Over 12 years ago I met Ed at an industry meeting. Over the years I’ve engaged Ed to speak to field leaders at a large Canadian Insurance company. Ed’s knowledge transference on recruitment, training, development and practice management of financial services advisors is second to none.

I have personally gained so much value by spending time with Ed.

A true professional who delivers impactful messages that help field leaders do their job better.

Not only do I consider Ed a mentor, I consider Ed a friend.

I’d highly recommend engaging Ed if you want to develop great field leaders.

I have the pleasure of knowing Mr. Ayala for close to a decade. During that time, I have also had the pleasure of having him as a presenter for many of the Agent and Middle Management schools and workshops that I [ran]. Ed’s expertise in the areas of agent and management development have made him a fixture in the…lecture circuit. His sessions are always well attended, and well received as evidenced by his consistently high marks received from the workshop participants.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Ed as a speaker or instructor for your program.

I highly recommend Ed as a speaker for any organization or business function.

At [a] LIMRA International Recruiting and Retention Summit, we asked Ed to present a session on how he has contributed to his firm’s overall success, and how he has helped to build a very successful culture within the organization. As a result, Ed presented an overwhelmingly popular session on the topic of “Building a Culture of Referrals.”

The audience…had an incredibly positive response to his presentation. In our post-conference evaluation, Ed received top ratings across the board and earned praise such as:

“Great strategy with good questions to ask your experienced reps.”

By far the best session of the program. Ed was outstanding and is a great example of someone who gave great content that can be replicated by the attendees.”

“Outstanding session, great tips.”

“Best of the conference. He gave us the what and how and why! Simple, straightforward deliverable.”

Because or our experience with Ed and the success of his session at our meeting, we have also featured Ed and his expertise in two cover stories of LIMRA’s recruiting newsletter. Also two of our member companies have invited Ed to present at their own organization events.

Ed and his expertise would clearly be an asset to any financial services program or event.

I always feel total confidence when I see Ed Ayala's name on the agenda for events I'm hosting. Ed consistently delivers with a relevant message that resonates with producers and agency leaders. He is prepared, authentic and engaging. In this industry you can spot a phony a mile away - it's just as easy to see that Ed Ayala is the real deal.

I have had the pleasure of hearing Ed Ayala speak at LIMRA’s Recruiting & Retention Summit on several occasions. Ed has a unique ability to share key insights with his audience through his experience, his knowledge, his passion for the industry and his humor. Ed always has new information to share with the audience and he does it in a way that benefits every individual in the audience. Ed has always been rated as one of our top speakers and is the reason why we have asked him to speak at our conference multiple times.

I would highly recommend Ed as a speaker as he is both a true professional and a true gentleman. It is people like Ed Ayala that truly make this industry a great place to work and remind us that the career of a financial advisor is a noble calling.
