Career Transition
When to make a career change?
• Changing jobs or starting a

new career is never easy.
• In reaching your decision
to join Adamjee Life you
have probably asked
yourself: “Is this the right
time or thing for me to
do?”

Career Transition
Group exercise
• In your groups discuss the following:

– When is the right time to make a career transition
(change)?
– In doing so are you running away from your current
career/situation or are you running towards a new
career?
– What is the difference in terms of the direction in
which you are running?

Career Transition
In which direction are you running?
• The difference in terms of the direction in which

you are running is PASSION!
• The best time and reason to make a career move
is normally if it is driven forward by PASSION.
• How does this compare with what you wrote
down earlier as your motivating factor for joining
Adamjee Life?

Career Transition
Passion
• Anything is possible as
long as you have the
passion to do it?
• Passion is contagious.
Passionate people get the
most and best results.
• Can passion be created
or developed?

Career Transition
Passion as a driver of success
• “To have moment-to-moment passion in our lives we not

only need to ignite passion but conserve it too. A great day
does not begin in the morning; it begins the night before with
the chalking out of a plan for it. It is pursued the next day as
planned while maintaining the tempo by allowing yourself to
contemplate on the desired ‘means’ and ‘ends’ pertaining to
every new activity before starting it with your best of
attention and intention.” - Zeenat Merchant-Syal

Career Transition
My passion
• Write down what

your passion is and
how it will be driving
you to achieve your
goals and objectives
in your new career
with Adamjee Life.

Career Transition
Another reason - money
• Another reason, for

example, why people make a
career transition is money.
This is an important factor in
the equation, but must have
its proper place which is
almost never at the top of
the list of reasons to make a
career transition.

Career Transition
Conclusion
• There is no one right answer why people make

career transitions and it is normally a
combination of reasons. What is more
important is that you know why you made the
decision to join Adamjee Life and what will be
driving you to be passionate and successful.

Career Transition
Group discussion
• It is important to know what made you successful in

the past and what will make you successful in the
future.
• What made you successful in the past may however
not necessarily make you successful in the future.
Why is this?
• Discuss this in your groups and provide a short
summary of your group’s view when asked to do so.

• Tax credit is effective on premiums paid on new and existing
policies from July 2011 onwards.
• There is no minimum of maximum limits of life insurance
premiums to apply for tax credit
• All plan of Adamjee life are eligible for tax credit.

Which law covers
Tax Credit?
Section 62 of the Income

It gives details of the
Tax Ordinance 2001, allows
method to determine tax
life insurance premium to
credit
earn tax credit

Tax Credit: The working
• Tax Credit is applicable to individuals who are deriving
income chargeable to tax under the head “salary” or
“income from business”
• To calculate tax credit you need to know the following:
– A. Tax payable for the year, before allowance for any tax
credit
– B. Tax Income for the year.
– C. Minimum of (i) Annual Life Insurance
– Premium
(ii) 20% of Taxable Income
The Formula for Tax credit is:
Tax Credit = (A / B ) x C
Tax Credit: An Example
• Tax payable for the year = Rs. 120,000 A
• Monthly Income = Rs. 100,000
• Annual Income = 12 x 100,000 = 1,200,000 B
• Annual Life Insurance Premium = Rs. 100,000
• Minimum of (i) Annual Life Insurance
Premium = Rs. 100,000 C
• (ii) 20% of Taxable Income
=20% x 1,200,000 = Rs. 240,000
• The Formula for Tax credit is :

Tax Credit = (A/B)xC = (240,000/1,200,000)x100,000
= 10,000 Tax Saving

Prospecting
The challenge
• When you were appointed by Adamjee Life,

we appointed you for one reason, and that is
for YOU to locate people and sell our
products to them at a rate of more than Two
POLICIES PER MONTH.
• This can only be achieved through effective
prospecting.

Prospecting
Group discussion
• In your groups discuss and write

down a definition of what you think
prospecting is.

Prospecting
Goal
• For our purpose Prospecting means

identifying prospective buyers of
financial services products (life
insurance) in an attempt to obtain an
appointment to discuss their financial
needs.

Prospecting
Who or what is a prospect?
A
prospect
is a
person
who
complies
with the
following
criteria

Prospecting
Finding prospects
• If selling life insurance was easy, then everybody

would be doing it. Selling a life insurance policy is
the easy part, but finding the prospects to sell them
too is the hard part.
• Why is it that some Financial Advisors are super
successful at it, some mediocre and the rest failing at
it?

Prospecting
Prospecting is a process
• “Prospecting should not be a problem for anyone

selling insurance. It should be a process.
However, prospecting is a problem for most of us,
simply because a process can take some
time and effort to set up - and even more time and
effort before it begins to produce results.”
Dan Vinal - Financial Sales Professional

Prospecting
Develop a prospecting system
• It is ultimately up to you to develop strong work

habits and develop a system whereby you create an
ongoing supply of prospects to see.
• Unfortunately many Financial Advisors ignore, don’t
understand or don’t spend enough time on this
most important aspect of selling life insurance.

Prospecting
Why a system is needed
• Generating leads is the art of YOU developing

an inventory of names to sell your insurance
products. No inventory, no one to sell to, you
fail. That is why a system has to be put in
place. Remember, you must learn to prospect
or you will not be successful.

Prospecting
The prospecting ladder
• Generating life insurance leads and a good system is crucial to

the sales process. As we start out in the insurance business
we go through a progression of different ways (ratios in terms
of the type of leads) to generate leads and prospects, which
we call the prospecting ladder concept.
• However, the problem is that most Financial advisors are
looking for some type of secret formula or method whereby
they can receive good quality insurance leads without working
too hard to get them.

Prospecting
Prospecting ladder ratios
Lets look at some prospecting ratios.
• The following is an example of the calls to interview ratio based on the type of lead
(warmest at top to coldest at bottom).
Warmest Names/Contacts
• Ratio..... Type of lead
• 2-1........ A referred lead
• 3-1........ Eyeball to eyeball contacts
• 4-1........ A name obtained through a group information session
• 5-1........ A name provided through an association
• 7-1........ A name with a one need - new baby, new house, new job, etc.
• 12-1...... Just a name or list of names, no information, resulting in a cold call
Coldest Names/Contacts

Prospecting
Prospecting ratios
• So as you can see, a new person just starting out may have to call
120 people to get 10 appointments.
• Whereas a person using the referred lead concept will only have to
call 20 people to get 10 appointments set up. As you can see by
this illustration warm insurance sales leads are the best.
• Another aspect of calling on referred leads vs. cold names is that
your closing ratio will be better with the referred leads than the
colder leads. A referred insurance sales lead should generate about
a 1 to 2.5 closing ratio vs. a 1 to 4 closing ratio on cold calls.

Prospecting
Building a prospecting system
The following is a possible framework to assist you with building your own
prospecting system:
1. Identify where you are currently on the prospecting ladder and set yourself
a target where you would like to be in the next 3 to 6 months and 7 to 12
months
2. Develop a clear customer/client (prospect) profile
3. Identify markets supporting your customer/client profile
4. Select the best possible prospecting method linked to your customer/client
profile and market(s) with the view to qualify/disqualify potential
prospects to minimise waste of time and effort
5. Pilot your system, review results and adjust your system
6. Implement your system
7. Continuously measure your results and improve your system

Prospecting
Hints & Tips – Create a prospect profile steps
These are the suggested steps to follow building your ideal prospect
profile:
1. Analyse your customer base.
2. Identify your ”biggest and best” customers.
3. Find their common characteristics, e.g. age, gender, location,
marital status, family size, education, lifestyle, occupation, income,
social class, position in society and FINANCIAL NEEDS as well as the
market(s) they belong to.
4. What were the financial solutions you suggested and they
selected/bought from you and why?
• If you are new to this profession and do not yet have an existing customer base
you need to develop your responses based on your own assumptions.

Prospecting
Hints & Tips – Identify specific markets
• Identify specific markets you would like to target for your business.
• Networking - the longer you do it, the more fun it becomes. It yields
cumulative results. People get to know you and what you do better
and better, as you build a history with them. You actually start
looking forward to attending events, seeing old friends, and
meeting new ones. It's certainly a lot cheaper than other forms of
advertising.
• You can earn an unlimited number of qualified prospects by
networking with those people and organizations connected to the
type of client you are looking for.

Prospecting
Hints & Tips – Other leads generating options
The following is a range of additional options to consider and select from to
generate leads linked to your customer profile and market(s):
1. Data mining my existing portfolio.
2. Leads from existing customers.
3. Leads from family and friends.
4. Leads from work place and other colleagues and acquaintances.
5. Competitor client data base.
6. Civic Bodies and Social Clubs – (Rotary, Lions, Young President’s, Jaycees).
7. Stock Exchange members list.
8. Professional Association membership lists ( Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers).
9. Chamber, trade and industry membership association lists.
10. Cellular companies, utility companies.

provide referrals.

Prospecting
Hints & Tips - Networking
• The insurance business is all about being in front of people, so it's

time to get out of your office and start attending multi-prospect
venues and events. You should always accept invitations to attend
community or charitable events. However, you must make these
events a productive use of your time. Do some research prior to the
event. Who will be attending? Whom do you want to meet?
• If someone brings up their need for financial advice or other related
services, ask if they'd like you to call them. Sometimes it's best to
be proactive in order to get people to take a look at available
services.

Prospecting
Hints & Tips – Relationship approach
• You can take the transactional route or the relationship

approach when it comes to prospecting. The relational method
works best and you will have significant success building your
practice.
• Your advice, empathy, and integrity are needed more than ever.
Make sure that you always place your client's interest first.
• First impressions are everything. Be sure that you are
consciously aware of what your clients will see (appearance) and
hear when they meet with you (first impressions are lasting).

Prospecting
Hints & Tips - Recordkeeping
• Keep accurate records of your prospecting activities. The most

successful producers know exactly what their key metrics are
at any given. The least successful don’t.
• The act of keeping records will enable your subconscious
mind to constantly improve your results. Plus, by having a
clear picture of how you’re performing in your most
important prospecting activities you can quickly and easily
make changes.

Prospecting
Hints & Tips - Planning
• Set aside time on a regular basis to attend to prospecting.

• Don't wait until you run out of prospects or suddenly need
more.
• Discipline your prospecting so it's something you do every
day, every week.
• Schedule time for prospecting each day, and have specific
goals for the number of calls/contacts you want to make.
• At the end of the week look back and assess how well you
kept your activities on track.

Prospecting
Hints & Tips - Planning
• To be able to measure your

Prospecting
Hints & Tips - Executing
Question:
• What does it mean to set aside time on a regular basis to attend
to prospecting?
• What do I do during this time?
Answer:
• You utilise this time to …
– Obtain names
– Call potential customers
– Face to face contact, e.g. networking
– Confirm and set up appointments

Prospecting
Phoning prospects
• Regardless of which prospecting method(s) you

select most of your appointments will be set up by
phone.
• A different telephone approach will be followed
depending on the type of prospect you are
contacting, e.g. the conversation with a referral will
be different to that of a cold call where you only have
a name.

Prospecting
Phoning prospects
• To be able to use the telephone effectively as a prospecting
tool needs proper preparation and scripting. The following
are some guidelines to follow planning and scripting the call:
– Opening statement
– Create interest and make a benefit statement (why should the person
listen to you)
– Anticipate questions and possible responses
– Specific questions you need to ask
– Obtain commitment
– Set/confirm the appointment, time and date

Prospecting
Be persistent
• Statistics show that 80% of sales happen after the 5th
contact
– 80% of all sales are made after 5 or more client contacts
– 48% of all producers give up after the initial sales call
– 25% more give up after the 2nd sales call
– 12% more give up after the 3rd sales call
– 5% more give up after the 4th sales call
• Only 10% of all producers continue past the 4th contact,
which means that the persistent 10% are making 80% of the
sales. Make sure you are ONE of them!

Prospecting
Conclusion
• Prospecting is a series of continuous, planned

actions. It's not just one thing - it's a complete
system: a system that you need to develop in order
to minimize expenses and maximize your
sales and income... to guarantee your long-term
success!

Ego states
• Ego states help to explain how
we are made up, and how we
relate to others. They
P Parent
categorise the ways we think,
feel and behave and are called
Parent, Adult, and Child. A Adult
• Irrespective of age everybody
has these ego states and each
of them get activated at an
C Child
appropriate time when we
interact with others.

Ego states - Parent
• The Parent ego state
is a set of feelings,
thinking and
behaviour that we
have copied from
our parents and
significant other
authority figures.

Ego states - Parent
• As we grow up we take in ideas, beliefs, feelings and

behaviours from our parents and caretakers. For example, we
may notice that we are saying things just as our father,
mother, grandmother may have done, even though,
consciously, we don't want to.
• We do this as we have lived with this person so long that we
automatically reproduce certain things that were said to us, or
treat others as we might have been treated.

Ego states - Adult
• The Adult ego state is

about direct responses
to the here and now.
We deal with things
that are going on today
in ways that are not
unhealthily influenced
by our past.

Ego states - Adult
• The Adult ego state is about being spontaneous and aware

with the capacity for intimacy. When in our Adult ego state
we are able to see people as they are, rather than what we
project onto them.
• We ask for information rather than stay scared and rather
than make assumptions. Taking the best from the past and
using it appropriately in the present is an integration of the
positive aspects of both our Parent and Child ego states.

Ego states - Child
• The Child ego state is

a set of behaviours,
thoughts and
feelings which are
replayed from our
own childhood.

Ego states - Child
• Perhaps the boss calls us into his or her office, we may

immediately get a churning in our stomach and wonder what
we have done wrong. If this were explored we might
remember the time the head teacher called us in to tell us off.
• Of course, not everything in the Child ego state is negative.
We might go into someone's house and smell a lovely smell
and remember our grandmother's house when we were little,
and all the same warm feelings we had at six year's of age
may come flooding back.

Transactions
• When two or more people
interact with each other,
this results in a social
transaction.
• These transactions will
determine and impact the
relationships we develop
with others as well as how
we communicate.

Transactions
The transaction is either …

• Complementary if the desired result is obtained and both
people are at the same level. Here, both are often thinking in
the same way and communication is easier, e.g.
– “What is the time?” … “It is 12 o’clock”.
• Crossed if the desired result is not achieved and each person
is talking to a different level. Here, each person is often
thinking differently and problems occur. e.g.
– “What is the time?” … “I will not tell you”.

Transactions

Adult-Adult relationship
• The ideal line of

communication is
the mature and
rational Adult-
Adult relationship.

Conclusion
• We can develop and build strong relationships with

our customers and achieve our performance
standard by:
– Changing and sustaining our behaviour (INPUTS)
– Identifying and understanding the customer’s
behaviour.
– Operate from the “Adult” state of behaviour when
interacting with customers and colleagues.

Identifying Client Needs
A need must exist
• A client will only buy a financial services product

provided that he realises that he has a need to buy it.
If he does not know or realise that he has a need he
will not buy.
• Often clients don’t know that they have a financial
need and it becomes the Financial Advisors duty to
know the client and his short as well as long term
financial needs.

Financial needs
• Financial needs are generally

associated with life stages
and change as we move
through them. This allows
the Financial Advisor the
opportunity to continuously
provide service and sell new
products to his clients.

Financial needs
• A financial need can be linked to one or more of the following
categories:
– Family (children’s education, house hold expenses)
– Savings and investments
– Income protection
– Retirement and/or estate planning
– Assets/property
– Business ventures
– Insured/underinsured /not insured

Role of insurance – Personal and family wellbeing
• Insurance could provide funds for …
– Children’s Education
– Children’s Wedding
– Retirement
– House Expenses post Retirement
– Succession Planning
– Purchasing a House
– Business and Asset Protection
– Hospital Treatment and Critical Illness
– Life Time Income

Need Analysis
• The two key techniques

available to you to identify
and recording your customer’s
financial needs are:
1. Asking the right questions
2. Active listening

3 Types of probing questions
Type of question Question Possible Response
Open Ended How are you? These probes have uncontrolled
responses and allows for the customer to
give an explanation as a response. You
would use an open probing question to
gather information about the customer to
right size a plan that best suit their needs.
Close Ended Are you doing well? These probes prompt for a one-word
answer usually ‘yes’ or ‘no’!.
Leading You are doing well, right? These probes prompt the customer for an
agreeing response. You should end every
sentence with this type of probing
question in order to assume the sale

The power of listening

Summary
• Observe and identify your
client’s behaviour (ego state).
• Remain in the “Adult” state.
• Ask direct, relevant and open
ended questions.
• Listen to what the client tells
you.
• Record the client’s needs on

Financial plan
• Having obtained all the

client’s relevant financial
information it is time to
develop a financial plan
focused on the client’s
specific short and long term
financial needs and goals.

Steps to follow
• The following are the steps to
follow building the financial plan:
1. Analyse the need
2. Consider affordability
3. Select solutions and build the

Financial Plan
4. Prepare the client presentation

1. Analyse the need
• It is advisable to first do a high level analysis of the available

information to ensure that there are no gaps in terms of the
client’s …
– Short term financial needs
– Long terms financial needs
– Amount he can comfortably afford to invest
• If any gaps are identified it is necessary to conduct a further
fact finding call or interview with the client.

1. Analyse the need – fact finding
The purpose of
fact finding is to A careful Fact-

of the need.

2. Affordability
• It is important to find the

balance point in terms of
what the client can afford.
• Quoting too little might not
be sufficient to achieve his
goals.
• Quoting too much might
scare him off and he might
not buy at all.

3. Select solutions and build the financial plan
• Even though your goal is ultimately to

conclude a sale, your primary function as
Financial Advisor remains to provide the client
with the best possible financial advice and
convince him that the personalised financial
plan that you have put together is in his
and/or his family’s best interest.

3. Select solutions and build the plan
• Individual Exercise
– Complete the section on building the financial
plan in your workbook
– Present the plan when we asked to do so

• The Sales presentation is important in terms of how it is put
together and presented to the client. This is what the client
will see, hear and experience during the presentation and it
will either convince him to buy or not.
• The aim of the presentation is to ensure that the client has a
clear understanding of his short and long term financial needs,
what his options are and how it will be addressed and
achieved as well as to get his commitment to accept and
implement the solution(s) presented to him (concluding the
sale).

• The following are the key components of an effective

Sales presentation:
– Logic and emotion (stating the personal need for the
solution)
– The reason for buying (short and long terms benefits)
– Logical sequence (taking the client on a financial journey)
– Consequences if solution is not selected and implemented

Features and Benefits

So What? Sounds Good

Features and Benefits
• Customers are NOT

interested in the
FEATURE (Yay Kia Cheez
Hay)
• They are interested in
the BENEFIT (Iss say

Features and Benefits – Example (Fayeda)
Feature (Cheez)
XYZ Bank has 812 “ON LINE” branches in Pakistan
• Benefit (Faida)
• You can conduct most transactions through any of
these 812 different locations all over Pakistan. For
example a customer depositing money in your
account via our Bahawalpur branch will be instantly
credited into your Islamabad account.

Sequencing - Presenting costs
Do not reveal
the cost too
early
Minimize the
cost
Relate to an
everyday cost
Be confident

Conclusion
• At the end of the presentation there must no doubt
in the customers mind that the only option he has is
to accept and implement the proposed financial plan
and related solutions.
• Putting together the Sales presentation requires
careful planning and time to build it as this could
make or break the sale.
• Obtain and Include the product illustration from

Sales presentation
• Reaching this point in the Sales Cycle is critical. You

are about to make the Sales Presentation to your
client. You have worked hard doing the prospecting,
building client relationships, identifying and
understanding your client’s short and long term
financial needs, built the financial plan and compiled
the Sales presentation. You do not want to fail at this
point of the process.

Sales presentation
• You are now ready to do the Sales Presentation and

your goal is to ensure that the client accepts your
proposal and that it will result in a sale.
• Taking the client through the presentation and
getting his commitment to sign the contract is no
easy task and requires certain sales techniques.

Sales presentation
• When you approach your client you have certain expectations

in mind, e.g. to conclude a sale and sell a certain product or
combination of products.
• In the same way the client has certain expectations, e.g. buy a
product or combination of products at a certain cost which will
provide a return on his investment.
• Some clients might not even consider buying anything when
you approach them and you will have to convince them
otherwise.

Handling objections
• During most Sales presentations the
Financial Advisor will be faced by
objections from his customer.
• It is not necessarily a bad sign, but
rather an indication that the
customer is in his mind not
completely convinced “To Buy” or
“Not to Buy”.
• It is the Financial Advisor’s task to
tactfully lead the customer through
the objection and help him to reach
the decision “To Buy”.

Handling objections
• An objection is normally a buying signal. The customer is interested in the

financial plan you are presenting him with and that is why he raises an
objection and not to through you off track.
• An objection is not a rejection, it is merely an opportunity to clarify the matter
in the customer’s mind.
• Do not dismiss them, deal with them.
• Do not take them personally.
• Handle them tactfully and professionally.
• Put yourself in the customer’s shoes and see it from his viewpoint.
• Don’t answer an objection immediately, but follow a process to resolve it.

Handling objections - Process
Process of Objection Handling

• Listen to the objection carefully and note the key concerns.
• Repeat the objection with key concerns to confirm.
• Answer the objection in a sequence addressing the key
concerns.
• Verify if he/she understood your answers and proceed for
close.
• Listen to the customer attentively and empathize with them.

Handling objections – Common objections
• Why should I buy Life Insurance from you?
• What additional benefits will I get should I buy
from you?
