I was able to witness Sun Life Financial Advisors share each of their own stories about their profession in the insurance industry. Most of them initially worked as employees/professionals in various fields but later realized that being a Financial Advisor for Sun Life is undeniably more rewarding . They are bankers, nursers, teachers, etc. who chose this path with Sun Life to help people plan for their future while fulfilling their dreams in the present. Each of their life stories was so inspiring. They proved that success don’t come without sacrifice and dedication. I know it’s not an easy profession selling non-tangible products like insurance or investment products because you’ll likely receive rejections if you’re not well-prepared, well-versed and totally convinced of what you’re offering.
