Depends on the company. Typically you are going to be assigned accounts that the company already has. You will provide customer service support to them, while trying to upsell and add services as you can. Additionally, there will typically be cold calling and prospecting in order to add new clients to your firm. Also, there is usually an unlimited earnings potential.
