Growth Associate at Kwakol Markets

Overview

• Success as a Growth Associate for Kwakol Markets requires all the basic qualities that make successful sales people in any arena – self-confidence, an outgoing and engaging personality, initiative, a self-starter attitude, high motivation, goal-driven action, and persistence.
• Like any salesperson, Growth Associates at Kwakol Markets must know their product.
• This requires them to have much of the same knowledge that products and services teams have.
• A potential investor might ask a Growth Associate to give them an analysis of a specific investment, and while the salesperson isn’t a researcher, analyst, or trader, they had better have a good answer ready.
• Therefore, being interested in pursuing a career in Kwakol’s growth team requires more than an interest in and talent for selling, but also a keen interest in, and understanding of, the investment instruments that they will be marketing to potential clients.
