My second insurance prospect…

I met my second prospect yesterday at the Starbucks - Column , Makati. It’s my second formal meeting with a client where I did a sales presentation. She is one year older than me. She’s married and has one daughter. She’s an English teacher. 

Well, I am getting used to this kind of job now. I really am in the marketing field. I knew I still have lots to learn for marketing techniques .  During my first talk to her, I knew she was just kind of  listening to what I was explaining at.  I noticed it when I finished talking she told me that she already knew those features that I was talking about. Thus, she got bored while  I  was mentioning the details and trying to entice her to buy the insurance product that I was offering and she was just kind enough to listen more.  I  was actually trying to convince her about the benefits of the products. At some point, she was starting to absorb what I was saying and we had a good exchange of opinion afterwards. I belived I was able to build rapport to her.  She didn’t decide to avail the product at once .Well that’s normal for clients to always say they’ll need to study the proposals further then they will call you soon if they decided to avail the product. So that was what had happened. She will call me in two weeks time for another meeting so she would sign the application, in case. So, on my part I would just have to wait for her feedback hoping she’s gonna be positive with it.

About Me….

I may be marked for some as a snob person but I am, as a matter of fact the opposite one. Others would even tell that I have a suplado-look with a “tower height” that intimidating. Well, in truth, I am not that suplado so it’s really okay to get nearer to me.

I love fun and know how to deal with it and I can surely rock someone’s life. Many would think that I appear very strong and a sure individual but I am a very vulnerable person inside and undestroyable out! I feel like I’m a ubermensch. On certain occasions, I am very unpredictable, eccentric and temperamental.

Of course, I love God and my family. Also, I love all my genuine friends. They are my second family and I would never ever trade them for anything and I would dare to do everything just for them. Once you have me as a friend you have a loyal friend for life. I look for the best in everybody. I believe that life is about giving and empowering others to reach their own potential as you are reaching for yours. I love to chírk up people, not to play a joke or trick on them. I can keep them as long as they want. I am very loyal, sweet, well-disposed, but I can be stubborn sometimes in some manner. But I’m an open minded individual too.

I constantly had fights with my emotional side because I am so sensitive and I easily weep or cry. I’m a dreamer. I socialize with almost everyone. I am normally interested in people, to meet people from different walks of life, how they react to certain things, the way they eat and the way they rationalize.  I would like to be educated about the divergence and boundaries of humanity through friendship.

I eat a lot. Anything that you could offer on the table, as long as they are edible, naturally, I could eat them up. I’m just a guy who knows how to appreciate the best of both energies. I love scenes, views and spots. I love beaches but a funny thing about it is I’m not a good swimmer but I could swim as long as my both feet are still reaching the outermost level of the sea land… lol.. But I love everything about it. Seeing beach water makes me feel relaxed and I must say romantic.

I love to flirt too… lol… I am crazy too! I love pictures. I am too fast for the shot of the camera.. lol… I am not a risk taker but I am determined to try out new things on my own. Oftentimes, I talk and smile solely to myself whenever I got the time to reminisce all my peculiar experiences in the past. I have lots of ways expressing my joys. I am a funny person, that’s for sure. I would laugh out loud easily and uniquely. Uniqueness that some would tell distinguishes me from others since what I enjoy most in life is laughing.

Flu vaccination…

I just had my flu vaccination 2 hours ago here in our office. The nurse assistant told me that I might be experiencing soon a slight fever then I would have to take a paracetamol. I thought while she was inserting the needle  on my left sholder, I would be feeling a very excruciating pain. Well, just a fact for me, is I’m afraid of needles..lol..truly. That’s why I am not focusing my attention to the area whenever a needle thing is inserting to my body… though at the end, I didn’t feel any pain at all… the slight pain is still manageable…lol… it’s a sort of anticipating pain on my part that makes me vulnerable to any sot of needles… lol..

Secret of attracting women???

I have read this article somewhere and I actualy got struck with these two questions .

The result….

Just learned the pre-final result of  my client’s insurance application. After submitting the necessary medical requirements, it turned out that he can’t be insured to the plan that he chose to. Per evaluation, he has a lot of sickness and has been rated very high not qualified for  a term plan. There has been some options  though, he can apply for a new type of plan which his rating can accommodate to. I am quite sad for what had happened . Disappointed I guess. But I need to tell this to the wife and take the guts to explain to her. I just hope she will be able to understand. I am hoping for the best. This has happened sometimes so I guess, I just have to move on …….

To resign from my job?

Is  resigning from my job the last resort to get out from this anxiety that keeps on haunting me? Honestly, I don’t know. At this time, this is what I am feeling. It seemed that I am no longer happy considering, some of my closest friends started to leave me off. And I hate this feeling of being alone. That I can’t get along with others naturally because we are all affected.  I am not changing but that is what "they" observe and see on me. It appeared that I am the villain.  But I am not. I may be  a quite type of guy sometimes but that doesn’t mean I am becoming  braggy or something like that.  I am not sensitive. I am just sensible. I react logically, I believe so. Oftentimes, my actions are being misjudged. No one really understands me. I have been trying to assess myself and I think there’s nothing wrong with my attitude in dealing with my colleague. I don’t know. It’s like an old cliche, that you can’t please everyone. But still having said this, it’s really hard working with someone when the environment is not that good. And even when it’s only a work-related communication, you can’t approach someone easily because there’s always this "personal misunderstanding" that happened in the past that stops you both not to talk comfortably. You know what I mean…. Anyway, I think I need to work out on this… and I hope I would be able to manage it eventually…

Goodbye Credit cards…..

Yesterday I got the chance to chat with my sister and shared with her my problem with regards to my credit card bills. Yes, I got huge amount of credit bills to pay.  My credit card bills quite stress me.  I can’t save from my hard-earned money since I need to prioritize all my bills. I actually got a number of installments to pay every month,  I still cannot pay it from my salary alone every 15^th and 30^th day respectively. I am always   worrying where will I be getting the funds in the near future to pay all my bills. I thought  before I would be able to manage my finances  whenever I  am able to use my credit cards to purchase my needs, wants and desire. It appeared that I am an impulsive buyer. To sum up all my purchases, it shows that I focused buying unnecessary stuffs. I spent so much for things which are just my wants and desires, not my need at all. They are all my caprices. My whims . My impulses. That only I benefited with those products. I seemed to pay too much attention buying things not-so worthwhile at all. I pity myself. I am so superficial on how to see and buy things. I spent beyond my means and now I am struggling on how I will be able to survive this.  I know there’s no one to blame of but only myself. So I shared this to my sister and she advised to me to tear off all my credit cards and start all over again. That I need to pay all my obligations first and never use my credit cards again.  Certainly I was struck that time that even I was still here at the office, I can’t help but I felt like going home already and start tearing off all my credit cards so I would no longer be  tempted  to use them. So when I got home, the first thing that I did was to tear off all my credit cards. Actually, the word is not “tear off” but I scraped off all the swiping portions of  my credit cards. Still I would not be able to use it anymore… lol.. Congratulate me! I was able to do it. Though I can’t use them anymore, I still cannot request them for closure at once since I need to pay first all my installments. But hey, I don’t want to tell a lie here so I have to share this too. You may be laughing at me now but I did retain one credit card for myself. I don’t know, I have this feeling that I will be using it for an emergency case. I believe so.  That I might encounter problem financially and my last resort would be to use that card. So far, I’ll let it that way. I just hope that I would stick on my principle not to use credit card anymore. That it’s better to spend in cash than using  a credit card  which will eventually aggravate my financial status. By now, I would have to say “GOODBYE CREDIT CARDS”……

Another Day…

I wasn’t able to tell my stories yesterday. It’s been a busy day for me indeed! Got to meet the couple around 2:30 Pm. They are very nice.  Talking someone over the phone is very different when you get to meet them personally. We chatted while we were waiting for the doctor to come.  I thought i would get tongue-tied. We talked a lot  and discussed some issues. I did build rapport to them. They signed the insurance applications and paid their intial payments too. They had been examined by the doctor  and got the chance to get the views of the doctor and he said "lets just hope for the best specially for the husband since he seemed has a slight problem with his health. But it would still depend on the evaluation of the Underwriter though. Since  I have passed all the required documents yesterday, I have been counting the hours to pass, waiting for the Underwriter’s evaluation and decision. I have been hoping that it would be a positive result. That there would be no further requirements to be requested. This is actually the first insurance business that I have closed for. And I am really excited. I have been praying hard from above that everything’s gonna be okay and I can’t wait to  call my clients soon, informing them the good news!  I hope and I do sincerely hope that everything is gonna be okay. Ok, log off by now. Keep you posted soon. Cheers!   

Umagang Kayganda….

What’s good with me this morning? A lot, I guess. Yesterday I was able to talk to a client .She is interested to get a term plan with us. Fortunately I was the one who answered the call and explained the product to her. At first she was just requesting for a term plan for her husband. I faxed a proposal and called her up to explain it. While  we were communicating , she then decided to have a term plan by herself too. Luckily I was able to talk to the doctor personally yesterday. So, I scheduled them today for medical examination. They will be signing the application and pay the initial premiums today too. I will be meeting them at around 2 PM. I hope everything will be in order. I just hope too that  the medical results are all ok. That the two couple has  a very healthy condition.  So UMD will no longer require another medical exam. Furthermore I came prepared today  and instead of wearing my office uniform which I find a bit informal if I’m going to meet them.. lol.. I decided to be more presentable so  I wore my mint green long-sleeve so I could wear a necktie…lol…  I’ll get back later for more stories. I just need to prepare some things and yeah, business first before anything..lol…

My first story …

Oh man!! …why can’t I actually start something to say here now!!! Well, to begin with , (oooppss I got incoming call and it’s a very long conversation since the agent that I had talked with has a lot of policies to inquire), so I have just got back again.. though I haven’t record my call history yet..lol… maybe later once I finished doing my first story. Maybe, I’ll make  this pretty short by now. Business first before anything, right? ..lol… I guess I just want to share now  that fortunately I am able to make this blog account where I could share my views , opinions or anything that its worth or not-so worth to share with… This blog will serve as a chronicle of my life from now on ….. Cheers!!!!!
