Performance management during the pandemic without fear

11:00 am

Chan Wing Sze explains the steps for successful sales and referrals, from recording the turnaround time of the next successful interview after meeting new people, to reviewing your notes every 90 days, to allocating your time properly (80% to fact-finding, 20% to opening cases) to educating loyal clients and more.

Jorge Antonio Barraza Avila

Closing a sale by client DIY

Have you ever changed roles with your client, empowering them to feel like the expert? Lim Meow Lih shares the four steps of this process, which include allowing clients to realize their own needs, answer their own objections and close the sale themselves.

Tang Man Ching Mi

Make X a leading role

11:30 am

Understanding how to engage with younger generations

11:30 am

Language:

There is no such thing as “one size fits all” when it comes to the work of an advisor. Fittingly, the way you engage with younger generations won’t necessarily be the same as how you engage with older ones.

Secrets to developing your next-generation associate

11:30 am
