Financial Planner = Insurance Agent ???
Just now went to Swissotel Merchant Court Hotel ballroom for the AIA recruitment seminar. It was a rather last minute decision for me. Thought had project discussion...but in the end dun have. Anyway, Lois called me yesterday afternoon to confirm. All along i don't have an interest in financial stuff...wad more financial planning for others?? I didn't want to be the so-called "desperate insurance agents". And plus after telling dad about this seminar, the more i had to go. He kept bugging me to go. So in the end i was there lor.
Very big scale seminar held at ballroom. All hte agents very well-dressed. At hte reception, they asked me who invited me...and i kinda forgot the agent's name...only remember it was something like Henry. HAHAHA...anyway, i was rite...he was called Henry. Lois who called me was his wife and also the one sharing her testimony. Her testimony was quite touching. Listening to how she experienced her childhood made me feel i am damn lucky. She only entered the industry a yr ago and she's quite a top seller.....her income tripled compared to the salary she got as a nurse. The money sounds really good.
The other speaker was Robert Young. Very good and persuasive and entertaining speaker. Enjoyed it very much. He made the industry sound sooo lucrative. No ceiling income, flexible, team work, no worries of retrenchment and retirement etc... His jokes were really good la. Share something here...he said 1 thing u can gain is fame. Why ?? If u're the top agent, u get to appear on newspaper with ur photo flashed at least once or twice a yr. If u're juz a normal person...u only appear on the papers once in ur lifetime...Anyone knows the answer ?? HAHA....leave it in the comments =p
Upon hearing his testimony and speach, i was kinda tempted to join hte industry. But back to reality. It's all hard work. And the title sounds so good...financial planner...but in fact u're juz a agent selling insurance. Doesn't sound like the right job for me. Have to consider....hope Maersk takes me in *prays*
But i muz say that tonight is not a wasted night. =)
