Additional Preferred Responsibilities:

Conduct initiative-taking outreach to prospective clients via phone and email to generate new meetings.

Maintain and manage a clean, up-to-date call and contact list.

Ensure timely, professional, and clear communication at every touchpoint.

Demonstrate familiarity with financial planning concepts and target markets.

Build and maintain feeder lists targeting specific companies and executives.

Research and input new prospect data accurately into the firm’s CRM system.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's Degree.

5 years’ experience in the financial planning industry.

Series 7 and 63 (series 6 and 63 may be accepted with understanding of 7 and 65 being passed).

Life/Health Insurance licensed.
