1. She’s charging low fees 2. She only make commission 3. Her AUM is pretty low…meaning she barely has customers. When you managing non wealthy people money having a 1% fee is life and death to them. If you cold call someone and tell them your got all these cert and license it means nothing in the client head. They’re just gonna laugh at you and say no I’m. It interested or hey please don’t ever call me again.
$150k is likely her base salary excluding overtime, bonuses, options and if she’s in a firm as a partner she may be entitled to a share of the firms profits.
everyone is complaining about how much she makes but she seems to be satisfied with her role and income. Its her life if she enjoys the way it is, who are we to judge? not everyone wants to make millions, some people just love what they do.
People in the comments arent realizing that being a planner CFP, and building retirements and helping upper middle class folks is going to pay a lot less than being a wealth advisor/manager who could also be a CFP helping $10million + net worth clients. Not all financial “advisors” are the same
No it all emotion and zero calculating. Try to apply for a financial advisor job and talk to people with logic, reasoning, and advance calculations. You’re gonna lose your job, and be delinquent on your mortgage.
I don't agree, it's a lot about relationships and giving your client that sleep at night factor. You want to be able to tap into their biases, emotions, worries. It's a client facing business, it's about people not theory.
@@Sidious6460 and when people tapped emotions in 2022 and 2023 for tbills, munybonds and CDs and their clients complained about their returns compared to S&P nevermind had they gone into proper funds like Berkshire, their returns were small because emotions said minimize risk tolerance. whereas if you cut out the emotion and read the history tables, buying into equity assets when they went down would have created great returns when they normalized, such Royal Carribean holders saw +200% growth since buying the dips and holding through the last three years. You are hired for achieving their desired result, not letting them drive the boat with emotions. They already do that by themselves. You reassure them you understand the mandate then either teach them or do it yourself - remove the emotions. Hold the ship steady and get them there.
Prospects don't pick the best financial advisors, they pick the best communicators who can ask good questions to know their clients' situation better and plan for them!
Have my Series 7 & 66 but still working as a paraplanner/investment associate with about 2yrs of experience & still make under $60k. Would like to work on getting my CFP certification and hopefully get above $100k in the near future.
