Schroders Australia's Kellie Wood talks about winning a lot, so much so that it's become a well-intentioned joke with her co-workers - but it's this ambitious attitude that spurs her on every day. Eliza Bavin writes.
So the wheel turns full circle and we return to an industry where Product Providers will employ "sales staff" of limited if any qualifications compared to licenced advisers and to confuse and confound consumers will call them Qualified Advisers. Will these providers of advice recommend anything other than their employers products, irrespective of suitability and affordability?

If we must return to the good old days of "conflicted interest" can we not at least tell the truth and call them Sales Consultants?
