I'm a relatively new financial advisor and my office is sticking me with a lot of trade shows/summer block parties/benefits fairs. Any tips and advice or do's and don'ts for those types of events?

Get out and talk to people at these events. Learn to be comfortable in a variety of situations and enjoy them. I've brought in millions at these types of shows. Dress well, smile and be ready to greet people with no pressure.

Yeah I'm definitely excited to be able to do them. We called through a list of stores doing back to school events and are connected with a handful of companies who set up health and wellness fairs for companies (they charge the vendors $300 a show or thereabouts). Just looking to see if people have success with certain types of questioning or certain items on the table or anything so that I can maximize what I'm getting out of them

You're lucky your office sets you Up with those things!

Can I ask how you find these events? I’m new as well and want to do something like this!

If you listen to what people are saying, as well as NOT saying, you will quickly know how to have a conversation. Humans are not that complicated.

I’ve been with my current company for a little over 5 years now and since the start of the pandemic have been WFH. I absolutely love WFH and have always wanted a position in which I could WFH. There is talk of bringing everyone back to the office full time and that’s not what I would like to happen. I’ve been searching for a new position in which it would be a remote role. My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.
