When she’s at home in Connecticut she volunteers at her kid’s school and bakes banana bread. When her child visits her father, Holly hits the road, living an adventurous life. While she’s in search of a potential mate, that’s not her primary goal. She’s curious, wants to understand people, and more than anything, she wants to hear new stories.

How does one go about adding silver into their portfolio? “There is no substitute for hard work and tenacity.” In his ten years with U.S. Money Reserve, Coy Wells has risen to the challenge and successfully established and grown a dedicated, knowledgeable sales team. He consistently maintains that growth today, expanding U.S. Money Reserve’s customer base, even in a volatile market. Previously with Whole Foods, Wells spent ten years faced with many similar challenges, only the products were different. Wells consistently overproduced and over-delivered and was recognized for his accomplishments. Whole Foods and U.S. Money Reserve both saw significant growth with Wells at the helm of the sales teams. Growth which provides opportunity and challenges in management. Coy Wells grew up with a rural upbringing that instilled in him a strong work ethic, responsibility, and the value of tangible assets. “Spending 25 years in farm and ranch work you develop a strong work ethic,” Wells says. “You learn problem solving and how to look for solutions rather than concentrating on problems. Without these traits you will fail. My love for the land has translated into my passion for Gold and precious metals. Both are tangible assets. The challenges of agriculture are the same as the challenges in business. The rewards are similar. Gold and Land are totally different from paper or digital assets. They’re both real. That’s why I respect Gold as wealth protection and security for my clients.” Website: www.usmoneyreserve.com Social Media Links: Facebook: www.facebook.com/UsMoneyReserveInc Twitter: www.Twitter.com/USMoneyReserve People also listened to this:  U.S. Money Reserve’s Patrick Brunson Discusses What Big Banks Know About Gold That Many Don’t
