Shu Yu (Lawyer) I have known Grace for a long time as a fellow aerialist, and never once has she bothered me to purchase anything from her. From time to time, I would pop up out of the blue and ask her random questions on a particular insurance-related topic, and she has always given me her time and answered my questions (even as a non-client).
Today, we spoke about purchasing a Personal Accident plan for myself. Actually, I was pretty much prepared to simply purchase this myself on Prudential’s website and indicate her as the advisor serving me. I was surprised that Grace wanted to bring me through this personally given that it is a fairly straightforward policy (and therefore a “lower value” one for her in terms of earnings). Our conversation ended up being more than 1 hour! I appreciate the detail and care which Grace put into her presentation of the policy options, and the efficiency in which the purchase was effected (I barely had to do anything, it was great). She took a position as to what was and was not suitable or recommended, and explained it very well. I left feeling that I had made a considered purchase and did not feel pressured or overwhelmed at any point in the process.
Another point of note for those considering Grace to act as your financial advisor: she’s been in the field for a while and is a consistent top performer at Pru, which means that she is probably less likely to quit the company/field and leave you hanging! |
