I could well be pretty good at it, and I would enjoy a different challenge. I am a bit geeky and am quite interested in financial products and such, I think I would like to be able to match people up with the right product etc, and all the stuff that goes with it.
Being an Adviser is not about being interested in the technical side Robbo.
You have to convince people to do business with you. If you cannot do that you either, get the sack if you are employed, or starve if you are self-employed.
In the old days - before everyone got pretentious and precious we used to call that selling. It was selling that got people insurance to protect their families and funds into their pension plans.
If you are not sure you can sure you sell consider a background roles such as a para-planner.
A para-planner is someone who puts together and monitors investment portfolio suggestions for an IFA. For that kind of role 'geeky' is king.
Qualifications for that are well above the basic CMAP level.I am a Mortgage Broker
