Organisation Description
My client is a specialist Financial Services company dealing solely with the Armed Forces and most specifically the Army.
They specialise in Military kit cover, having their own policy which has been underwritten by Axa plus they also cover life and serious illness cover along with pensions, investments and personal accident
The role is to work on a self employed basis within the designated territory covering their core business (Army bases) , and is home based. My client has built up a reputation in the Armed forces over the last 23 years and can give the new consultant a good foot in the door.
The role does not need to have RDR compliant consultants as they will not be dealing with the whole gambit of financial services.
Job Description
Their process for the sales is to contact the Army bases, discuss their products etc/ gain an appointment to the base at which the soldiers from whichever regiment will all be there. The consultant will then conduct a presentation of the products on offer and afterwards book in appointments with the personnel to discuss their needs.
There is a very high take up from these presentations because all the soldiers need military kit cover and are all concerned with life, serious illness and personal accident cover along with their pensions.
Did you know that military personnel are charged if they lose or damage any of their equipment if they are not insured!
There is very little lead time as the products are quite standard, so there is an income stream to be made quite quickly. The consultants all benefit from the admin function from the head office. They deal with all the post sales process, paperwork, putting business on risk and all other admin.
Knowledge of the forces or forces background might be an advantage, although not necessary.
