Why make things difficult for us?
I received a call on Sunday night. Conversation as follows:
Mr Chan: Is this Adrian!!!
Adrian: Yes?
Mr Chan: I received a letter from NTUC Income. Tell me what is it?
Adrian: I'm sorry. I don't know what letter they sent. Can you describe a bit more on what was written on it?
Mr Chan: I don't understand what they sent. Can you go find out what letter was that?
Adrian: Can you read a bit on the heading of the letter?
Mr Chan: I tell you to go find out from NTUC Income!!! (Shouting at me). Why ask me so much? Adrian: How about allowing me to drop by your place this week and take a look at this letter?
Mr Chan: I don't have the letter now. You just go find out!
Monday Morning:
I sent a email to NTUC Income CS Dept, trying to find out what it is. So far no reply from them.
Monday evening:
Mr Chan: Adrian Khiat!!! Have you found out what NTUC Income sent me?
Adrian: I still have no idea what NTUC Income sent you. Can I drop by your place this Thurs or Fri evening. I will explain every detail of that letter NTUC Income sent you.
Mr Chan: I had given you a day to find out what they sent me. What sort of agent are you? Can't even do such a simple thing?
Adrian: Pls don't shout at me. Can I offer to drop by your place on Thurs or Fri night? I shall explain on that letter.
Mr Chan: I have no time for you. You call me few days later. I see if I'll free to meet you.
(From beginning to end, he was practically shouting at me)
* Mr Chan purchased an Incomeshield from me in Jan 07, he purchased an annuity and Living Policy from another agent previously. I have no idea if this letter pertains to the bonus issue for his annuity but he refuse to give me info.
* Its a difficult client. He was very rude to me. He took me for granted, he makes things difficult for me on purpose. I felt terrible and lousy but I will keep my promise to see through this letter. Still have to wait if he wants to me meet for such a personalised service. Keep you guys posted.

I met Mr Chan on 5th May from 9:30pm to 11pm. NTUC Income actually sent him a 3 page endorsement to reflect recent changes in the plan. The endorsement looks quite messy to me and hence I had requested a whole new policy to be printed out for him.
I brought that policy to his place, I spent half a day translating a large part of that policy into Chinese and I use it to explain paragraph by paragraph. It was very stressful because my Mandarin is pretty lousy and he scrutinises on every word that I'd said.
He insisted that I must go to his place and update him every year whether there are changes or not.
My feeling was mixed if I should have gotten such client in the first place. Its a difficult client and I'm sure there will be more problems in future. But sometimes, it because of these difficult clients that we learnt the most.

Mr Chan still not free to meet me.
NTUC Income most likely sent him a new policy of his renewed Incomeshield.
Wants me to call him this week to confirm.
Well, thats the sacrifice one has to take as an insurance agent.
