I was asked this Question!

I was asked this question! 

It was a simple, straightforward question being asked!  

Though it is a very simple question, I wasn’t clear about what I wanted! 

That’s dangerous as I do not have any metric to measure, no standard to follow, and no direction to lead.    

Am I confused? 

Am I worried? 

Am I frustrated? 

Yes, very much!!!

Yes, I am!!! 

If you ever feel you’re not hired for the right reason, may I suggest not being hired at all in the first place? 

How do you know? 

Probably the following observations would tell tales sign. 

You are given a package.

This is good but you are probably left all alone on your learning journey. 

Highly likely you are “handcuffed” for a period of time. 

Payback for those who did not perform during the hired period would be disastrous, especially for the few who are already with liabilities. However, best for some who are determined to perform in this setting. 

Next, you are promised the sky in the financial services industry. 

Earning is the sky the limit and all you need to do is to sell, sell and sell! 

Though there could be true in this statement, diligence, trustworthiness & creditability are part of the equation. The best interest of whom to benefit is always questionable.   

Last but not least, you are promised given leads.

This is rather perplexing. 

Have you ever wondered if leads can be found easily, and why the recruiter wants you to join them?

And if leads can be given out easily, then why are there so many hiring reps' ads posting every day?

So how do we land ourselves on your “ideal” platform? 

A few pointers for your consideration. 

[1] Infrastructure 

This is the core of any financial services advisory business! 

Without suitable products to market, there is no business.  

Work with business partners & product manufacturers as many as possible. Why? 

We meet people from different walks of life. 

Everyone needs financial services advisory solutions, not product matching.

With such a comprehensive infrastructure, you can nitpick the most appropriate game plan for your specific client to suit their targeted financial concerns.

[2] Training. 

And if you worry that so many products to handle, you are in treat to enhance your brain power! 

Training is an ongoing process to keep your advisory mindset on full alert! 

Especially with target training, service providers are dedicated to giving their full might to ensure you are highly competent to make appropriate placement in your advisory solutions. Thus, fulfilling the best interest of the right audience.

[3] Mentorship.

The above 2 are only half of the solutions to your building & owning your independent financial services advisory ownership!  

In this VUCA environment, there is a pressing need for an organization with Vision to tackle the Volatile economy. 

Uncertainty always leads to anxiety and seeking the right Understanding of the situation is always the best policy. 

Due to the sophistication of our economic progression, it is always wise to keep Complicated stuff simple! 

Ambiguity can be confusing at times, delaying action-taking. Seeking leadership’s Agility is much preferred. 

Hence, MENTORSHIP is critical in this VUCA environment. 

Keeping things simple isn’t that simple but with clarity in the collaborating effort, I believe we can short-circuit the learning path.... together.

In conclusion, I’m hiring. 

And I’m hiring for the right reason with the right conviction.  

Feel free to connect with me. I’m Hock Beng.
