Starting a new chapter at SLS Wills and more this year, has been a whirlwind of an
adventure.
Monday 10 th June I arrived at the office in Aylesham ready to meet the rest of the
team. The first couple of weeks I wondered more times than not, if I had made the
right decision, would I ever understand it all, let alone remember it. As the weeks
ticked by, I continued my online training with the College of Will Writers, asking Sara
more and more questions every day. By the end of July, I had completed all the
training modules and was ‘ready’ to sit the three final exams.
After what felt like forever (6 weeks) I received the new that I had passed!!
Feeling nervous, I was able to start meeting clients with Sara to really learn the
ropes. No two clients have the same family dynamics or want the same things when
they are planning for the future, so every day is definitely a school day.
Probably one of the biggest obstacles and what I really wasn’t prepared for was the
marketing and networking, connecting with other local businesses, building
relationships and not being afraid to ask questions. Another steep learning curve for
me, but one I am beginning to enjoy and feel more at ease with.
Here I am six months into this new career, seeing clients on my own now, with Sara
and the SLS Wills and More team always on hand to help, encourage and support, I
am loving every minute.
