Accepting Job in Investment Sales, what to do with time in between

I'm accepting a job in investment sales in a big city (NYC, Chicago). Any advice for how to better myself over the next month until I start working there. What skills should I work on, etc?

If you're in AM sales (institutional or mutual funds) I don't know that excel or technical reading is going to help you a whole lot. Never hurts but based on my experience with client facing roles that is definitely secondary.

I would focus on reading about industry trends, and becoming more intimate with what you'll be selling. Never hurts to start perusing designation materials if that is of interest.
