Behind every successful financial advisor is a strong team. Hear why Edward Jones' clients support team members are the backbone of their success.

That's really the support system inside the branch. That's where my business and my personal and family life have have taken off.

00:25

It's because of the branch office administrators, our client support team members that we work with. They are there to help us drive our

00:33

business and make it successful. The amount of support that we get is tremendous. I think for me it would be the branch office administrator.

00:41

Having the support in my office and having the autonomy to really build out my office the way that I want to.

00:47

Understanding the compensation, understanding the technology, understanding the client support, understanding the branch team structure. There's so much. In addition to our senior branch office administrator,

01:00

we also have an associate financial advisor. She is able to execute all of the activities that I can execute, so that enables us

01:12

to serve our clients more efficiently. They're not waiting for a callback from me on something that might be urgent.

01:18

There's somebody else in the office that can deliver in a timely fashion what the clients need. When I joined it was me

01:26

and my branch office administrator. And now as we've grown in our practice, we've added a registered branch associate, and we're working towards becoming a multiple

01:35

financial advisor office. Now my clients come in and every one of them hug my BOAs. They hug my branch office administrator.

01:43

They talk to them, they sit out in the lobby and they have real conversations. That's that culture that you feel when you come into one

01:49

of our offices. It's just different how the client feels supported and known. You know, I didn't have that support where I was before. So I did everything myself from opening accounts, transferring assets, submitting documents. It's amazing what you can do with your business

02:05

because they literally take care of you.
