interview with a wannabe promiselander


today, our company's managing director, mr david choo and myself went through an interview with a wannabe promiselander.

this person is certainly no newbie financial adviser, having notched up almost 20 years of experience in the financial industry. he started his career as a tied agent with one of the so-called 'big 4' insurers and progressed to joining a fellow fa company.

when david asked him why he chose promiseland independent, he admitted that he has gone on his rounds (meaning, he has already checked out a few other fa companies) but as to why he settled for promiseland independent, he said, "patrick is more reputable!".

my comments:

with what was uttered, the wannabe promiselander could have meant i had a higher profile in the financial industry, or i have had lots of exposure in the media, or the fact that he has heard of collective positive feedback from many of our fellow financial professionials.

before everything else, there's stil lots of 'paperwork' to be completed and if there is nothing untoward in our due diligence process to certify him fit and proper, we should welcome him as a promiselander in due course.

and with regard to what he said regarding moi, it is good to know that i can value-add to promiseland independent by way of recruitment of wannabe promiselanders.

hopefully and prayerfully, we can continue to attract people of the highest ethical standards and integrity into our fold.

because, dear readers, no one need to be reminded that all it takes is just one rouge financial adviser to bring the whole house down.

and by God's grace, we definitely aim to be around, long into the future.
