When i joined the insurance industry as a part-timer in 2006 while persue a Degree in Engineering at a local university, I never dreamed that it would change my life 8 years down the road. During those early years, I never took the insurance business seriously. It was just something I did on the side. After graduating in 2008, I started to work as a customer support executive in a multinational company. To concentrate on my career, I decided to stop my insurance business in 2009. Due to my strength in sales, I get promoted early to Business Development Manager for the Southeast Asia market.
​
As fate would have it, I resumed my part-time insurance business in 2011. This time, it was with the guidance, encouragement and support of my team leader, Madam Tamil Selvi who saw much potential in me. However, due to the heavy work load of my day job at the multinational company, I did not do well in the insurance business. Being a hard worker with a great sense of responsibility, my job scope as a Business Development Manager expanded over the years. Eventually, the ever-increasing responsibilities took its all on me. I was highly successfully but felt stifled and yearned for a way to quit the rat race. In 2014, I made the life-changing decision to leave my 5-figure income job and join the insurance on a full-time basis.
​
Back in April 2014, I was just earning RM 3000 per month. With hard work and strong determination, I recruited new agents and was promoted to Agency Manager in June 2014 with just 9 entrepreneurs under my charge. By the end of 2014, my income income from insurance reached 5 figures and achieved my very first Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) award. With the support from my mentor and training from Zurich Malaysia, my confidence grew and industry knowledge as well as business approach improved. My significant milestones in 2015 include achieving MDRT target in June, employing 12 active agents as of September 2015 and qualifying for Greece 2016 convention and MDRT experience in Hong Kong 2016.
Not one to rest on my laurels, I was aiming to increase the number of active agents in my agency to more than 15 by the end of 2015. Throughout the short span of 2 years since I became a full-time insurance entrepreneur, I have been qualified to go on numerous overseas trips under the attractive Zurich reward scheme. I vacationed in Yogyakarta, Bali, Taiwan, and Paris.
I highly recommend anyone who wants to be a successful and have a life to join the insurance industry. The beauty of this business is that you get to be your own boss, and there is no limit to the success and monetary rewards you can achieve. If one is willing to work hard, the rewards, both financial and emotional, far outstrips the effort.
​
My core beliefs did not turn me down. I continued to strive and accomplished MDRT for the year 2016 and maintain consecutive through 2017&2018. Nevertheless, I qualified for all the company convention throughout these yea. After Greece in 2016, I have traveled to Osaka-Japan, Barcelona-Spain, Busan-Korea, Zurich-Switzerland, Gold Coast-Australia, and Moscow-Russia.
My career growth allow me to achieve Chief Agency Manager level in August 2018 while managing 30 wealth planners. My determination gets stronger eminently. I am extremely welcoming all potential Eminent's to join my agency to achieve everyone dreams together. ,
