  • Sage Life
    Business Development Consultant
    Sage Life Sep 1996 - Nov 1998
    City Of Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa
    Sage Life one of South Africa's Pioneering Life insurance companies has supplied quality risk and investment products to South Africans for decades. The Sage Education Trust at the time was the latest product offering providing peace of mind and cover for the escalating educational costs for children. It would also provide financial cover should one or both parents pass on insuring the child has a secure educational footing. The way the product was marketed was also a pioneer in the industry, Sage Life wanted to ensure that its clients received the best possible service from the company as a result it split the traditional financial advisor's role into three distinct parts, lead generation, the actual financial advisor part where the advisor would only focus on providing the best possible advice and after-sales. The advisors were recruited from the teaching industry with the idea that through their experiences in the schooling environment, they would be able to understand and impart valuable advice to clientele. once the client joined the aftersales service department would take over the account freeing the consultant to focus on providing financial advice.
