ROLE DESCRIPTION:
Charles Schwab Financial Consultants are employees of Charles Schwab UK Limited, not Independent Franchisees. Our Financial Consultants work in a Schwab Branch, providing investment guidance to clients through face to face meetings and regular phone contact. Our Financial Consultants’ primary goal is to deepen relationships with the clients in their practice. Additionally, Financial Consultants work to grow their practice through client referrals, marketing events and proactive calling to prospects.
Upon hire, Schwab Financial Consultants are assigned an existing practice of clients (book of business). The actual size of each practice may vary based upon geography and the Financial Consultant’s experience.
Our Financial Consultants are self-motivated, independent thinkers who share the common desire to build long-term client relationships. Schwab Financial Consultants are supported to achieve success by the Schwab brand, Schwab leadership, corporate marketing support and exceptional training.
We provide our Financial Consultants with a compensation package that offers both security and unlimited upside. Schwab Financial Consultants receive a competitive base salary, sales incentives and a bonus structure; derived by each individual Financial Consultant’s performance and production. Incentives are paid monthly and are a direct result of the Financial Consultant’s assets and revenue growth. At Schwab, Financial Consultants are empowered to provide our client’s with the service they deserve, without the pressure of a commission based compensation plan.
