Hi everyone,
I just got a call for an interview from Investors Group for a Financial Consultant.
I need advice! Have any of you been in this type of position? It involves very little cold calling, which I am happy about. I would be meeting with clients and prospects in my office the latter of the time, and in their home other times. I'm pretty sure that the training will be paid, then afterwards it is commission based.
I had a job shadow where I followed the CEO of a large financial company around for a day, and he told me alot of things about selling insurance and financial services. I'm proud that I got that job shadow, because he came to a luncheon with my classmates and other authority figures in the workforce and he was asked for job shadows from many people and turned them down.. then I asked him and he was impressed with my strategy in asking him, so I got it. I am a little nervous that little YOUNG me won't be able to do it.. A 23 year old selling insurance? I'm going to have a hard time getting people to trust me.
It's a huge step up from my last job where I was stuck at a desk all day taking orders over the phone from our business clients and doing clerical and office work. I have been trained in business to business sales and marketing and how to do sales calls, but I know that the financial industry is in its own class.
Anyways enough of my rambling.. if you can help me, HELP ME! lol!
