Article series – How to become a successful Independent Relationship Manager 1

Thinking about moving to the next stage of your career? Time to make a plan.

As a successful Relationship Manager of actively investing Ultra/High Net Worth clients, you’ve developed professionally and progressed well within your current organisation, successfully growing client business, creating many deep and enduring relationships, and building your personal brand.

Through good times and bad, you’ve been able to handle whatever the markets and the economy have thrown at you, proving your skills, commitment, and entrepreneurial drive. So, you’re used to succeeding in your current context and looking forward to a positive future.

And if the above is all true, you’ll doubtless want more – to move to a new level of success and fulfilment aligned with your own and your clients’ professional and personal preferences.

You may nurture a deep-seated desire to explore other possibilities, looking further afield, to broader, bigger horizons that involve working circumstances more to your liking. For example, greater personal flexibility to work when and where you want and the ability to focus more time on delivering value to your clients.

Maybe you’ve always aspired to be your own boss, run your own client book, avoid potentially demoralising internal politics – and build your own business that you might sell later? To succeed on your own terms, aligned with what matters to you most.

You may even experience some frustration in your current environment – with limitations on your potential to grow, serve your clients better, express what really matters to you, earn more and achieve a better work/life balance.

If this resonates with you, maybe now is the right time to scratch that itch? To break out, establish yourself as an Independent Relationship Manager, and fulfil your true potential.

And it’s easier than you think because with WELREX® you have the perfect opportunity to succeed as an Independent Relationship Manager (IRM) and build your business the way you want it.
