Walk me through a day in the life of a new FA
4 RepliesJump to last post
Alright, I previously posted that I am brand new to the industry, just out of college. I just got the green light to be hired from a small company called Independent Capital Management (http://www.icmfinancial.com/) as a financial specialist. I’m going to be doing primary training and then I’m assuming I’ll actually get “started.” What exactly does this mean? I’m not exactly sure what a new financial advisor can do? I’ve read some posts where people were simply cold calling people all day… I’ve been told that I will have the chance to get referrals through seminars, going to local chamber of commerce, trade shows, etc but how much time could that possibly take? What potential things could I be doing? I’m just trying to work this out…

Welcome to the business
Hahaha, that's so true. If I did that, I wouldn't have failed out. Sad, but true.
The best thing you can do right now is getting that massive list together, and, if possible, start scrubbing it against the DNC list.
