Just like he was then, he was extremely patient and helpful in understanding my current policies and needs.
Based on those, he managed to table up a few recommendations to further enhance the effectiveness of my policies and what are some things I should take note of when signing up for new policies.
I would strongly recommend Ben to anyone who is looking to take up new policies or looking to kickstart on their finance portfolio, mainly because he does not hard sell policies, but rather he seeks to understand what one's needs and wants are before offering his recommendations. Way to go Ben! | | | Ben Chew (Research Assistant) Benjamin Koh has been an excellent advisor for wholistic evaluation on finance. Going through various aspects to ensure what his clients are missing and also their main goals in life.
He isn’t afraid to provide a different view to help his clients grow in their wealth but also in ensuring their healthcare remuneration are in check as well.
He is bright in nature which in turn, makes it pleasant to approach him when in doubt and learning from his advice - knowing he has done his research as well. | | | 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. | | | Amy Chiu (Analyst) I am so thankful for the connection with Benjamin through my daughter. Ben is an amazing insurance advisor with great character, sincere, friendly, very professional, great listener, patience and trustworthy. Rare to find in the insurance industry comparing to those young people I have met.
Ben has been an excellent help to consolidate and review all my existing policies even though these were not purchased through him. That really helps to refresh my memories and give me an overall view of what I have. Ben is extremely prompt and efficient in assisting me with my insurance policies and any questions that I asked, and he always follow through. Thanks for his enthusiasm! Excellent customer service!
What I really like about Ben, he doesn’t hard sell, he listens, and he advise according to customer’s needs and recommends only relevant products that is in the customer’s best interest. Without any hesitation, I took Ben’s advice on SRS investment. The process was easy and smooth.
Ben is very professional and knowledgeable but most importantly very patience and kind, wonderful experience with Ben. He is always available to answer any questions and has wonderful personality.
If you are looking for insurance advisor, look no further! | | | Adli (Consultant) I’ve known Ben for 10 years, and all this time I’ve always been impressed with his ability to make something complex really easy to understand.
His explanations of the various policies allow me to clearly understand what I have and what I am lacking in my coverage. His analysis is detailed and succinct, and his recommendations are always suited to my current and future financial situation.
I thoroughly enjoy every session with him as not only does he not hard-sell, he carries himself professionally and with a pleasant smile throughout :) I would highly recommend him to everyone. Keep up the great work Ben! | | | William (Engineer) & Jane (Engineer) My wife & I initially engaged Ben’s service to help our youngest to be covered for a Personal Accident Plan. Despite being new in this line of work, his enthusiasm and pro-activeness propels him to look for answers whenever he faces an obstacle. One example that illustrates the point above would be during the explanation of recommendations, not only did Ben explained in detail what the Personal Accident policy entails and covers, he went above and beyond to resolve our long-term concern on an existing plan that we gotten for our two kids about 20 years ago (we just casually asked!). Honestly, we did not have any expectations that our questions will be answered as we had a few agents over the years to help investigate it; none was able to provide a satisfactory answer to our question.
On the other hand, Ben was able to provide us with a clear picture of what transpired during the policy phase and how it became its present stage. He was very forthcoming of his opinions and honest with his advice. From that experience, we felt assured and allowed Ben to help with our kids Protection Planning as well as our own Retirement Planning. Despite being new in this industry,
I would strongly urge you to hear Ben out and I can reassure you that the way he plans and structures his recommendations will be for you & your family’s best interest!
