Confused!!

Hope TS gets the point that as a insurance salesman in the screwed up commission-based system in Singapore, it is more likely that you are trained to push for sales than to advise on cost efficient policy (even though your trainers may say otherwise)

How many insurance agents are accredited CFA holders? How many can actually compare between policies looking at hard numbers rather than vague, qualitative, misleading terms like premium holidays etc? You are free to join the industry, but please remember to take care of your clients like you would take care of yourself.... Question your trainers and education . Find out why so many savvier people advocate BTIR.

just curious, so why didnt you join the FA? lol
actually to me, its all persuasion by the manager. honey words are the best.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE? hahaha

i always encourage friends and colleagues to drop everything for a business ventures they consider. Or an idea. Entrepreneurship is beautiful.
Or even quitting their job for doing somethign that they love, even if it does not pay well.. because we are spending half of our awaking hours at work time.


Just.. not.. insurance.

Ah haaaaaaaaa, you funny la! "JUST... NOT... INSURANCE"

one of the interviews i had at PromiseLand Independent :: financial advisers, wealth managers, planners and brokers
the director (??) [i think] mentioned something quite unusual.

he said that, of all the things young people are concerned about, one of the biggest sticking point
is family stigma, that our parents gen, not everyone looks kindly at such jobs/occupations/career,
especially those who want their kids to GO OUT AND GET A JOB...

and also decided i could "explore" around a little bit, check out what corporates in CBD are like.

EDIT: maybe he already mastered this : http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/m...od-agent-investment-insurance-2818607-52.html
