"Well, it's always fun to talk about my strengths! I like to believe that I am friendly, personable, relatable, and competent, all of which help me to quickly establish meaningful relationships with clients. One of my strengths also lies in my ability to explain complex financial concepts to the average person. It's helpful to be able to do this because then the client never feels lost or confused. I am able to break complicated financial information down to simple layman's terms and do so in a friendly manner so the client understands the value of our products and services to them. In terms of weaknesses, I would say that my biggest one is my talkative nature. This can be a positive in terms of making friends easily or in winning over clients, but I consciously have to keep in it in check so I don't waste the client's time, especially during earnings season, and so I don't waste my own precious time that needs to be spent contacting multiple clients. I am aware of this tendency and many times even set a timer when I call a client just as a personal reminder to myself to keep things succinct."
