John has truly transformed potential into results. After entering the financial services industry in 1987, he soon acquired his NASD Series 7 license at the age of 20 and has since attracted a flourishing collection of clients.
Why has John enjoyed success so quickly at Amiot Financial Group? He offers three reasons: "One-to-one service is probably the most important reason. I like to get to know my clients, their personalities, their goals, their concerns. We develop a rapport that relieves some of the more intimidating aspects of finance and investment, and it helps me grasp each client's expectations."
Independence is another factor. Because Amiot Financial Group is an independent firm, John explains, "I have no set agenda or list of products that I need to offer. I can sit down with a client, put together a smart plan and then find the best products and services to put that plan into action." John is an individual registered representative of QA3 Financial Corp., Member FINRA/SIPC, through which he offers clients a wide array of investment products. In addition, John is an investment advisor representative with QA3 Financial, LLC, a SEC Registered Investment Advisory Firm.
John attributes referrals from satisfied clients as the third reason for his rapid rise. "In this business, trust is extraordinarily important," he says. "All of us at Amiot Financial Group have a genuine interest in our clients' financial standing. We offer a sincere service and, because of our independent status, access to some of the best financial products. Our clients appreciate this and they tell their families and friends about us."
John has an active, rewarding life outside of the office, as well. He serves on numerous boards for non-profit organizations, including the investment committee for North Central University. He has also served on the board of the Minnesota Chapter of the Financial Planning Association. John participates in his church and community as a speaker and mentor, and enjoys golf, skiing, and other outdoor activities. His wife, Jill, and he are raising their family in Bloomington, Minnesota.
