Role overview

The nature of the role is such that incumbents will make scripted outbound calls to new prospects and existing customers with the intent being to refer leads to early tenured Academy Financial Advisers for lead conversions to increase their productivity levels.

The role works closely with Academy Advisers to ensure a steady flow of viable leads are received and converted into meaningful business that is maintained by the Academy Adviser.

Furthermore, the role provides admin support to higher tenured New Entrant Financial Advisers such as setting up annual reviews, raising quotes, extracting Astute information in preparation for the annual review engagement, or gaining insights to new customers. Any other admin related to the business submission process.

The role could also provide admin support to an Established Financial Adviser who has an early tenured Academy Adviser assigned to them. However, a clear mentor/mentee relationship should exist between the EFA and Academy Adviser, with a sharing of commission where it is found that the Academy Adviser assists with working the dormant clients in the EFA’s business (80/20).
