Pros
Constant support from every level of Financial Professionals. There are many different trainings to continue and build on your knowledge. They give leads for cold calling when you are in the study process. Once licensed you have the opportunity to buy zoominfo.com where you get thousands of leads. They give training on dipping into your natural market and most importantly they do not leave you to fend for yourself. They ask you to reach out to people you know but they do not expect you to do that right away. We all know our friends and family do not want to be called not knowing what you do exactly. Cold calling is scary but Equitable helps out a lot building your client pipeline!
Kontras
This is not a 9-5 job, you are basically your boss. You decide what hours you are going to put in to build your client list. You have many resources to do this. You have to be extremely motivated, you are an entrepreneur, this is your business!
