No. 8 Handling FAQ, like true expert

Investment Advisor
Investment Advisor

Investment Advisor gets tons of questions, from brilliant ones to silly ones.

In mass market & affluent segment, they could be talking to a few hundred to a few thousand clients & Wealth Managers a year.  While in High Net Worth Segment, they could be talking to 50 – 200 Clients & Wealth managers .

This means they would be likely asked the same set of questions all the time, in curious ways.  They could be having a group of clients asking if it is time to sell Apple Inc since it has gone up 20%.  Anther group could be asking if it is time to buy Apple Inc since it has gone up 20%, and is likely to go up a lot more.  And Investment Advisors can handle logically disconnected questions, expertly.
