About the Company
\nMost advisor roles have you building clients from scratch. At Sentinel, seminars are filled, and leads are provided — your job is to walk in, build trust, and close. If you have the skills and the discipline to follow a system that works, this is where you build a career.
\nAbout the Role
\nYou'll educate prospects (many 59+, with $1M+ in assets) through a two-meeting process: discovery first, then a structured plan and close. From there, you're their advisor for life — annual reviews, ongoing trust, long-term relationships.
\nResponsibilities
\n- \n
- Lead or support seminars that build Sentinel's credibility with prospects \n
- Run first meetings focused on discovery and listening, not pitching \n
- Present structured financial plans and guide clients to a confident decision \n
- Maintain relationships through annual reviews and proactive communication \n
- Document meetings to firm and regulatory compliance standards \n
- Manage 2–3 client meetings per day once fully ramped \n
Qualifications
\n- \n
- Bachelor’s degree preferred; Master’s degree advantageous \n
Required Skills
\n- \n
- Someone who leads with empathy, listens more than they talk, and stays composed under pressure. \n
- Relevant professional experience: 5 years (Required) \n
Preferred Skills
\n- \n
- Backgrounds that translate well: wealth advisory, financial planning, life insurance or annuity sales, IAR/fiduciary work, insurance wholesaling, or pharmaceutical sales. \n
- Series 65 (preferred) \n
- Life & Health Insurance License (preferred) \n
- Advanced credentials strongly preferred (CFP®, ChFC®, CLU®, Certified Financial Fiduciary, or equivalent) \n
- Licensing can be obtained, but doing so extends the ramp-up period by approximately 45–60 days. \n
Pay range and compensation package
\n- \n
- Full-time, commission-based W-2 role. \n
- First 6–8 months are immersion in Sentinel's process. \n
- From there, expect your first client within 90 days and additional clients in the following 90 — building toward a full, lasting practice. \n
- Pay: $130,000.00 - $145,000.00 per year \n
Benefits
\n- \n
- All leads provided and seminars filled for you \n
- Dedicated Paraplanner for plan prep and admin support \n
- Hands-on, comprehensive training in Sentinel's process \n
- 401(k) with 4% match \n
- All overhead covered — marketing, office, admin, seminars \n
- Flexible work-life balance \n
- Family-oriented culture \n
- Top performers earn $250K+ \n
- Work Location: In person \n
Equal Opportunity Statement
\nSentinel is committed to building long-term, trust-based relationships and a family-oriented culture. All qualified individuals will be considered for this role based on their skills, experience, and ability to follow a proven system, without regard to any protected characteristics.
