Learn how we work by hearing from Sun Life clients
Zette Laxamana and Joanne Espinosa
“Joanne is my very first client from Advisor Match. After exchanging emails and messages, we decided to meet at SM Cabanatuan City, a Sunday before Christmas day in 2017. A single mom, Joanne decided to go back to the Philippines after working in Dubai.
From the start, she already knew the plan that she would get, having read and studied about MaxiLink Prime in the website. I was inspired not only be her knowledge but also her dedication to fund the education of her children.”
Lianne Salvador and Denn Patrick Vallesteros
“Denn Patrick was match to me on the last day of 2017 – making him my last lead for the year. Only 21 years old at that time, fairly new to the corporate world and adult responsibilities, he was eager to plan and learn about his finances.
He was all ears during our meeting.We were able to hit it off once we talked about personal experiences in handling our finances. How it opened his eyes to the struggles of paying for his own expenses. How he was grateful that he took the chance to get in touch with us via the Advisor Match tool.
Comparing my situation when I was a fresh graduate, he was pleased to know that he was off to a good start since I never had anyone to talk to back then. He also realized that he still has a long way to go in terms of life goals such as retirement and investment. Still, his priority was to start on the RIGHT path. Moreover, he realized that his family should also know proper financial planning.
Both his parents and twin brother were working in the Middle East, and he had not seen them for some time. He was actually eager for them to come home so we can meet and see what plans were suited for them.
During our meeting, that very same day, he signed for a VUL plan. Once approved, we met again and signed him for a SUN Fit and Well policy. Last time we talked, he was planning to work with his family in the Middle East, where he knew his chances of getting a better income was higher.
So next up, Mutual Funds! Before flying out later this year, we promised to open him an account. This cemented his belief to start strong in his career in order to secure his future. So proud of him! We are the perfect match!”
Kath Talusan and Jessie Coruz
Jessie chose me using the Advisor Match tool. I called him to set a meeting, and he said he would be bringing a friend. The meeting came, then I asked him: why did you choose me? He answered: because I thought you can help me, seeing that you’re like at my age. We easily jived because we have the same specific goal in mind, which was to invest in agriculture since he was planning to stay in the province in the future.We also shared experiences, like mga nangyari after makagraduate, yung first job. Tumagal yung meeting namin because parang shared lives na yung nangyari. And he said na totoo yung profile ko sa website na nakalagay I can be your friend” kasi he and his friend felt na walang wall even though it’s our first time to meet. Then after the meeting nagkayayaan pa na maglunch. So parang kabarkada na yung feeling kasi we even planned na mag-road trip and all. Hindi lang pala life protection yung pwede natin ioffer but also friendship that is valuable.As I embrace our mission to achieve financial freedom for every Filipino, I realized that changing the world requires changing the lives of people through teaching financial literacy and building relationship with every person you meet.
Nina Caldona and Fatima Buenafe
“The moment we met, we just clicked. She told me about her plans, how she wanted to try working abroad – which I did – so I shared with her my very own OFW story about living independently and discovering Sun Life in the process. We exchanged stories so smoothly it felt like we were just old friends chatting. It was an instant #PerfectMatch with Fatima!
As a store supervisor, she wanted to have an investment to prevent her from impulsive buying or giving everything to her parents. Thus, she availed of a MaxiLink Prime to start her journey.
Moreover, she told me that I inspired her to pursue her goal to work overseas, come back, and eventually be a financial advisor. Little does she know I was the one inspired by her optimism! I encouraged her to explore and live her life to the fullest, and most of all, congratulated her for making a bright choice at such a young age.”
Dexter Balbanida and Mayday Paler
“Mayday is working as an OFW seaman, and most of his workmate in the ship are Sun Life policyholders. In his desire to live a brighter life, even when he was still overseas, he found a way to connect with Sun Life. He sought the assistance of his wife in searching for an advisor who can assist him in securing a policy with Sun Life. Through Advisor Match, they were able to reach me.
I was glad to be of service, to guide him in deciding what product would suit his needs.He immediately agreed to discuss with me his plans when he returned to the Philippines last April. With eagerness, he traveled from Pagadian City to Cagayan de Oro (a 6-8 hours trip) to finalize the details of his plan.
Originally, he wanted to get term life insurance but, unfortunately, seamen do not qualify for coverage. So we deliberately planned what would suit his needs, finally agreeing to get a VUL policy, specifically Sun Flexilink. I was able to guide him to avail a life insurance plan with critical illness benefit that suit his current life stage.
His application was approved before he left for abroad - and he was one happy satisfied client. He expressed his gratitude for the affordable premium that offered maximum protection. His wife was inspired and informed me that she will also apply for a policy soon. The search for a brighter life is indeed contagious.”
