What have you learned about this role that you wish someone would have told you before you entered the industry?
I learned that this role involves a lot of uncertainty. Most of the time, you'll need to be independent in your area.
For example, in corporate sales, you'll be the face of the company to the client. If there's market uncertainty or the client is unsure what to do, you need to be there with a good, sound answer. You'll need to advise them on market trends.
I wish I had been told that I would need to discuss this market uncertainty with clients. It was going to be a dynamic situation requiring rapid adaptation.
