Building Your Business

At Edward Jones, you are free to choose clients and plan your own day, every day. You’ll be expected to put in a maximum effort, but there are no set office hours at Edward Jones. We have found that this greater independence leads to increased earnings and more personal and professional satisfaction.

Maximum effort for greater rewards
You’ll find that the more you put into your business, the more you will get out. Our remuneration package is directly related to your effort and achievements and early on we pay you a salary, giving you the freedom and peace of mind you need to establish your business.

A more personal approach to success
At Edward Jones, we believe in doing business the old fashioned way, face-to-face. As a Financial Adviser, you will spend time getting to know individual prospects and their investment needs and objectives. Only after that one-to-one interaction and development of a comprehensive understanding of each individual's goals will you provide advice and recommend appropriate investments or services.

As your business becomes more and more established, you will notice a shift from actively prospecting for clients to referrals and existing clients making up the majority of your business. Later in your career, you may even reach a level where you may easily choose to no longer seek new clients. How you build your business is largely up to you. All we ask is that you run a profitable and ethical business, giving top priority to the needs of your clients.
