Identifying opportunities to deliver community information sessions and financial seminars to grow prospects. Building and maintaining a market profile in the assigned market area.

  • Extensive knowledge of competitive offerings, market trends, economic conditions, and the regulatory environment.
  • A valid driver's license and access to a vehicle, to meet clients and prospects within the designated district.
