Financial Education
If you follow mainstream news, you'll likely see frequent headlines about the state of the UK’s financial situation. Rising mortgages, increasing debt, and inflation are topics we can’t seem to escape. These challenges affect families, businesses, and the economy as a whole.
At Genistar, we see these challenges as opportunities. We believe there are two powerful solutions to combat financial adversity:
Equip people with financial education.
Help individuals increase their income or add another income stream.
Here’s the exciting part - we offer both.
Since 2007, Genistar has helped thousands of individuals across the UK earn a rewarding income by becoming licensed financial educators. Most of our company representatives begin part-time, balancing their Genistar work alongside jobs, businesses, and personal commitments. For many, the flexibility, income growth, and time freedom lead them to transition into full-time roles with us. The rewards include the opportunity to earn a six-figure income, achieve personal freedom, and even build a legacy for their family, all while working online from the comfort of home.
But beyond financial opportunities, becoming a Genistar entrepreneur is a tremendous personal growth experience. You’ll develop skills that benefit every area of your life. Curious about what skills we’re talking about? Here’s a glimpse into what you can gain as a Genistar entrepreneur.
Top Skills Developed as a Genistar Entrepreneur
1. Presentation Skills
At the heart of your role as a financial educator are powerful presentations. You will deliver financial education sessions, walk clients through personalised financial plans, and as you rise in the business, you may even share our Business Opportunity presentation at live events across the UK.
These opportunities allow you to sharpen your public speaking, build confidence, and learn how to engage and motivate different types of audiences. Strong presentation skills aren’t just great for this role; they’re a valuable asset in nearly every professional setting.
2. Sales Skills
Sales aren’t simply about selling products; they’re about solving problems. At Genistar, we prioritise doing what’s right for our clients 100% of the time. Whether it’s providing services like life protection, income protection, or wills and trusts, your job is to educate and empower clients to make better financial decisions.
Many clients already have financial products, so they’ll only choose Genistar if it’s clear we’re offering better value. Through training and experience, you’ll develop sales skills that are ethical, customer-focused, and confidence-boosting. These are skills that will serve you well regardless of your career path.
3. Communication Skills
At Genistar, communication is everything. Whether you’re speaking with clients, prospective team members, or team leaders, your ability to connect with and understand others ensures your success.
The good news is that your communication skills will naturally grow as you progress in the business. Over time, you’ll learn how to have meaningful conversations, build trust, and strengthen relationships. Who doesn’t want to become a better communicator?
4. Self-Discipline Skills
Transitioning from employee to entrepreneur is exciting, but it comes with responsibility. You’re now in charge of your schedule and income, and the results will reflect the effort you put in.
To excel as a Genistar entrepreneur, self-discipline is key. You’ll learn to manage time effectively, plan your month and week, and set daily priorities that move your business forward. Rest assured, though, while you'll be in business for yourself, you won’t be in business by yourself. Our network of leaders and team members ensures you have the guidance and support you need every step of the way.
5. Strategic Planning Skills
Whether you have an income goal or are aiming for a promotion, success at Genistar requires strategic thinking. With the help of your team leader, you’ll develop strategies to achieve your goals, ensuring you remain focused and on track.
Strategic planning isn’t just about reaching your targets; it’s about thinking long-term and making decisions that align with your vision. This invaluable skill can be applied to many areas of life, from managing personal finances to running your own business.
6. Leadership Skills
One of the most rewarding aspects of being a Genistar entrepreneur is the opportunity to lead. Once you move up to the role of Team Leader, you’ll not only be responsible for your own business activities but also for mentoring and supporting your team.
Leadership roles help you develop key skills such as coaching, team-building, and inspiring others to succeed. From there, you can progress to Senior Team Leader, Group Leader, and even higher positions like Executive Vice-President. The further you climb, the more impact you’ll have on others’ lives while creating an incredible legacy for yourself.
Why Choose Genistar?
The skills listed above are only the beginning. At Genistar, you’ll find a supportive community, flexible working conditions, and unparalleled opportunities for growth. Becoming a Genistar entrepreneur isn’t just about earning more; it’s about becoming more.
