He is very meticulous when planning for our family’s policies and will always keep us updated frequently along the way. He ensures that we are well insured and is in good hands.
Benjamin is not pushy in sales, and will only recommend whatever that caters best for our family and children’s needs which makes us very comfortable throughout this financial planning journey with him. To add on, Benjamin is also very knowledgeable and familiar with his products which is a huge bonus for us as it makes me and my wife feel extra assured with his recommendations.
His responsiveness and dedication to his job makes us have zero doubts that he will always be just a phone call away if we need any further assistance too. Hence, we are really grateful to have him as our existing agent and will not hesitate to look for him again if we need to purchase more policies in the near future. | | | Abel (Editor) Despite having previously worked in the financial industry, as well as its advisory arm, I can confidently say that Ben is one of the best advisors I've ever had the honor of coming across. His aptitude is nothing short of excellent, but the area in which he really shines is his unique genuinity that is (though commonly sought to be replicated) often difficult to find.
Ben has gone out of his way to advise and service me on numerous fronts, from suggesting and providing comprehensive coverage packages to helping research and even referring relevant professionals with regards to other financial matters that may fall outside your traditional advisor's purview. It seems to matter not what exactly you're looking for in an advisor; I'm pretty sure Ben has it all. | | | Michelle (Assistant Professor) It’s easy to engage the services of an Insurance Agent, but in my experience, a responsible agent is hard to come by.
Benjamin is a god-sent after my previous agent went MIA. He is meticulous and paid close attention to my financial needs. There is no hard selling and I particularly appreciate the clear way in which he communicates policy details.
Every discussion we’ve had was stress free. Every conversation feels like an informative conversation with an old friend. If you’re looking for financial planning advice, look no further. | | | Zhaomin (Engineer) Benji came to me with a refreshing perspective on financial planning. I like how he explains the 'What' & 'Whys' (this is important) instead of going straight to set financial goals and sell the products.
I also liked and enjoyed my sessions with Benji because there is no hard-selling, and that made me really comfortable in all the meetings.
To you who is looking for just a listening ear, you should hear Benji out :D And good luck with your financial journey with Benji! ;) | | | Tianfu (Executive) Bright, cheerful and resourceful is some of the traits that makes Ben easy to be around with. Despite joining this industry for a short time, his pro-activeness has motivated him to go the extra mile understanding his client's need, short term and long term objectives.
The continuous effort in asking for feedbacks, following up with clients and always seeking of ways to improve himself enabled him to go straight to the point with clear explanations.
Ben also does his best to make every session enjoyable for you! Give him a shot and he will make your dollar count. | | | Chee Hin (Engineer) Ben has been very approachable, proactive and clear in bringing information across.
From addressing my queries on critical illness to expressing my concern on legacy planning, Ben shared openly and genuinely with the emphasis on mine and my family well-being. | | | | |
