do you have to be really good at math for this shit lo!

This is also very competitive there is an agent around every street corner (at least there is where I live) You have to pay many of your own expenses (Agency fees if you do not meet quotas< O & E insurance, licensing, office rent, supplies, etc.) I do not think selling insurance, annuities and mutual funds are the answer to everyone financial needs. I almost felt like I had to mislead people and just sell them something even if it wasnt in there best interest to meet my sales managers quota..

you need to add in there to be a good advisor, it helps if your a decent person. there are, like any industry people who give good advice service and treat it like the profesional profession, and the others that rip it up and make a buck.

for me, the more you mess it up, the more work there is for me to tidey it up and make it work. and the more i work i get the better all my clients have to me staying in the industry alot longer

@BobbyHaet

were you a financial advisor?

This isn't a salary based job. The more clients you help out the more referrals you will get. If you work with a big financial firm like world financial group. You have a team to work with and you are your own boss with flexible hours

Heck, I always thought of this as being able to make ends meet. I didn't know you could potentially make millions but then I guess you'd have to be advising for pretty big companies to pull in that paycheck. I'd be fine with making just $50K.

Advice to financial advisors - Remuneration should be secondary to being a fiduciary (acting in your clients best interest) - help your clients achieve their goals and objectives. The commissions and bonuses will follow.

Yea that's onlyh if you don't have another advisor who takes your practice and fire you for a paperwork violation. Once you've been there 3 weeks they blow you out the door once you've recruited allof you friends and family.  It's a Ponzi scheme.

I would say, you're a very good advisor.. I wanna know you better and talk about business. You have a good video Janice keep it up!

[BobbyHaet]

Do not believe this lady. Shes a sales woman of course she can sell a job if nothing else.. I find the title financial advisor misleading. At the end of the day you get paid for sales, hence they should call it what it is "financial sales". In my opinion an advisor should be someone who really cares about their client and gives them advice. I attempted this job and lasted one year. Didnt make a dime. Sure I could have stuck it out for another 5 years and probably started to do well but ...
