Seems to be the type of business professional that we really need in financial services these days. There are so many untrustworthy people in this industry, so refreshing to see that there are still professional that are out to obtain something other than personal gain.
I love Manny Soto! Lol! Proud of you Soto :)
GOTTA BE WHERE YOU AT BROTHA I LOOK UP TO YOU.
When I first met Manny, he struck me as an individual that knew what he wanted in life. He impressed me with his genuine desire to help people, his committment to his profession and zest for happiness in life. Since then, he has become a "personal friend" to me and continuously encourages me to pursue my financial goals!
Being in the field of education, I was also impressed on how he is so motivated to assist our youth that are struggling in today's society. At one of our lunch dates last year, Manny presented an idea to me of creating a clothing line. This clothing line would provide positive reinforcement in building self-esteem, encouraging positive self behavior and of course still be fashionable.
I thought....here is a man who is very successful at what he does and still takes the time to make a difference in a child's life. Just the type of person I like to associate with.
I remember meeting you long ago when you 1st started. WOW! I always knew you'd go places, Congrats on all your success. Back then you were just up front and honest when people asked you questions, decent trainer, and didn't know you personally... RM
Manuel is great man. He has helped me with many situations in my life and grateful to have him as friend. Truly blessed.
I also rember when I first met you... you started off as a nice person only to get to know your greedy/money hungry two faced side. I guess you were always willing to do whatever it took to get ahead even if it meant bashing and lying to people on the way there. If anything else I wish you realize you are not as great as you think and have some remorse what you have done.
Manny is a brilliant financial planner. I refer him to everyone I know and they refer him to everyone they know. He is always more than willing to be of service. The comment above is not true. He wouldn't be such a great success if he was dishonest. I guess there will always be people that are jealous of others' success.
Manny recruited me like a 1st round pick from our conversations we had from me being associated with Wells Fargo Bank Auto Finance (Previously Wachovia Dealer Services). Then man was honest and upfront from the getgo making me aware that I had a special talent that resembled his. I must say that in the time that I've known Manny, he has been always a true professional, a constant advisor, a good friend, a motivator and a individual with a strong, impecable integrity sense to him. I am glad to be able to call him a good, good friend. I am always grateful for allowing me that very rare opportunity to call him a personal friend because he is a special person. May the man above always bless you my friend.
I have been a close friend and business associate with Manny Soto for 10 years. He has helped several of my clients attain financial stability through investments. He has also been an instrument to my success as an individual through accountability and moral support.
Thank you Manny, for being an incredible friend!
I agree with the comment above by AB. "Manny" in the usual circumstances could come off as an alright person at best and lives by the "fake it til you make it " motto. He really has the fake it part down real well. I honestly can believe how many of you have been fooled by this poser. Anyway, good luck with the dream selling.
Manuel makes strong and wise business decisions and I have seen him work tenaciously by his clients. I believe the reason for his success is that he genuinely cares about his clients and colleagues and treats them as he would his own family. Throughout the many years I have known Manuel; I have never seen him tire from his profession. He always listens carefully to the concerns and needs of people so that he knows how to best meet them. With Manuel, I see that it is not only about business and money but the long lasting friendships he builds by helping them reach their financial goals.
Way to go Mr. Soto! I am quite impressed with all of your accomplishments. You are an awesome friend and great father to your children. Thank you, always!
