Is it possible to make a living without selling to friends and family ?

Practice on cold call then, is the hardest but rewarding.
Why not sell to friends and family?
Insurance do help lots of people, (or give trouble if agent do shitty thing).
Imagine if your service can help your friend go through tough financial situation, you'll feel very good cause your service help to family to survive.

Google Startup 36 (not 360), see if it good for you or not.

Hi all,

i currently have a life policy that my parents bought when i was a kid.

its a traditional life policy, recently i was thinking whether i should maintain this policy.
It is a life policy without any medical coverage.
Currently i am holding several other medical policies too, AND another life policy with a different company.

so i was thinking, is it necessary to hold two life policies?

I pay around RM1k++ of premium per year for it, the payout is around RM100K upon death.

If i surrender this policy, i get around RM53K+ inclusive of the bonus etc etc. I was thinking of using this money to purchase better yield investments.

Doesn't matter on how many policies you have.
Use you saving+EPF+investment to tackle emergency.
Not enough? Short of how much? Can insurance assist me on the different?

If a policy cost 2k a year, continue paying for 30 years takes you 60k, not something to take lightly.

Hi there, I'm looking for suitable medical card for my elderly parents, aged 61 and 65. Any recommendation?

Before anything else, do their health condition is good?
Insurance company very sensitive on not very healthy customers.

Thanks @ckdeneon and @ssh2222.

Any medical card that has high annual limit but don't have to pay 1st and claim later?

So far i only heard about Prud having this on their PVM.
*
As my understanding medical card that buy locally cannot swipe on oversea, mean you pay first and come back claim later.
Some company do stated that more than 90 days oversea can't claim.

So can only swipe in Malaysia only

Exactly bro.. thanks! Btw so isit reimbursement? U said nope but after that sound like yes ..
*
Major insurance company already can do cashless, mean you didn't have to pay anything before admit or discharge.
Unless you go oversea then you pay up first.

Special case for co-insurance as if hit certain limit you have to do sama-sama bayar

HLA savings plan

Save 10k continuously for 6 years, can get 2k annually for 30 years

How true is this ?
*
Mean total you save 60k in 6 years?
Interest is 2k x 30 years = 60k
Plus your original saving would be 60k + 60k = 120k in 30 years

That would be around 3% interest annual.

Put in fixed deposit 60k for 24 years (cause use 6 years to save 60k first),
would give you around 120k also.

Different is HLA you can take 2k every while FD cannot.

*Inflation in Malaysia around 4%-5% every year.

lets not just talk about agents. not all people can be trusted anyways. trust is built based on a relationship.

My friend bought AmMetLife investment link insurance 3 years ago, thinking to upgrade or swift to more popular insurance companies.

To be honour, I never heard about Ammetlife maybe no too mainstream 😅 . Do anyone can share their background like do experienced of slow processing claim etc?

😉☺☺😉
*
Switch investment link product within 3 years would cost losses on the account value, do think why need to cancel/switch.
Unless the insurance do not serve your friend purpose otherwise keep it.

AmMetLife is join venture with local AmBank, not the top in to market but with AmBank support don't think it will do bad.

Losses on the account value for first few years probavly due to commission portion. If upgrade the policy, commission will start over, it mean premium still allocate less value to account?
*
If upgrade need extra RM200, the new RM200 will count into commission.
The old payment remain unchanged.

Do the insurers’ underwriting offices investigate a medical card applicant’s medical history - apart from the required medical checkup - before they make a decision on the application?
*
Can't confirm for all but they will check their internal record first, example you claim before on company A, either from your own or company, and you buy new from same company A, then they can easily cross reference.

Another is age, if you up to certain age, they will ask for a medical check up from their own panel before you can buy.

If you have critical illness just after you apply the medical card, they will check through your previous medical record.
Example you bought a medical card now, and 5 months later say you have serious heart problem, they will check for sure.

Thanks all, very useful info. Guess if anyone were to apply for a med card, approval speed or turnaround time would be big selling point cos of need to serve the 30 to 120 days waiting period, after approval, soonest possible.
*
I would say most insurance company turnaround time for approval is almost the same, as long you're healthy.

Underwriter only raise their eyebrow if you declare you like you having operation within past 5 years or so, or whatever you declare that have suspect on your health, otherwise, a long you're healthy, approval almost right away.

*Never lie on the health declaration, better let insurer know your ACTUAL health status rather then claim and reject later.
