Job Title: Lead Generation & Appointment-Setting Assistant (Commission-Based)

Overview:

We are looking for a motivated and results-driven assistant to support a Financial Advisor in generating leads and booking client appointments. This role is performance-based, with payment tied to each successfully closed client. Think of it as being the "first step of the ladder" — you open the door by finding and scheduling prospects, while the Financial Advisor completes the deal.

Key Responsibilities:

Make outbound calls to potential clients (provided leads or self-sourced).

Introduce and position financial advisory services in a professional manner.

Book qualified appointments for the Financial Advisor.

Track calls, appointments, and outcomes to ensure smooth follow-ups.

Maintain a polite, persuasive, and professional communication style at all times.

Requirements:

Strong verbal communication and telephone etiquette.

Basic understanding of sales or customer service.

Self-motivated and target-driven, with the ability to work independently.

Reliable, disciplined, and able to manage time effectively.

Compensation:

Commission-based only. Payment is made per client closed by the Financial Advisor.

Example: If the Advisor closes a client from an appointment you booked, you earn a set commission for that client.

Ideal Candidate:

This position is ideal for someone confident on the phone, persuasive, and eager to earn based on results rather than a fixed salary. It suits individuals who thrive on creating opportunities and enjoy the challenge of generating income from successful conversions.
