sobrang laki pa ng <\/em>opportunities,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\nEdison saw the opportunity, too. He described the partnership with Security Bank as \u201cfresh,\u201d allowing them reach out to more receptive clients. It also helped that the clients referred to him were usually already briefed properly by the bank employees.<\/p>\n
\u201c[We have] amazing support from Security Bank,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re able to train your referrers [Security Bank employees], share skills and issues, they themselves already know how to sell the product,\u201d Aprille explained, highlighting the opportunity for leadership and mentoring their job had. This way, referrers can already prep potential customers and FSCs can focus on in-depth presentations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
It\u2019s responsibilities like these that Edison had been after. He wanted to put his years of experience in the insurance and sales industry to good use, especially after coming from a large and established insurance firm. He joined FWD in 2016 and wasn\u2019t disappointed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re in that stage of growing the business in the Philippines. So if your main goal is to have additional responsibilities or being promoted as an FSC, I suggest FWD,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAng laki pa ng opportunity na pwede namin i<\/em>-work out, \u2018di lang for FWD<\/em> but also for our bank partnership. So in terms of growth, \u2018yan \u2018yung tinitingnan ko. Kasi gusto ko sumabay sa paglaki ng<\/em> company.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cIn the near future I want to be one of the leaders of FWD,\u201d he added with confidence.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not just career growth that\u2019s offered here. As Aprille excitedly shared, employees are richly rewarded for good work. Not only do they bring home salary and allowance, but meeting targets could also mean bonuses the size of your salary and commissions amounting to thousands of pesos. On top of that, FWD employees receive the incentive of an all-expenses-paid trip abroad if they perform well.<\/p>\n
<\/span>You get all the support you need from Day One.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n![\"FWD-Office-2\"](\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/FWD-Office-2-300x200.png\")
<\/p>\n
Even though the insurance industry was new for Aprille, she didn\u2019t have a hard time transitioning at all. Aside from her background in sales to rely on, she made sure to complete training\u00a0 in FWD and read up on the industry. More importantly, however, she could count on having people to always help her.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I really love about the company is that everyone is helpful. Everyone is approachable,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn big companies, even small feedback has to go through a long process,\u201d she explained. But because FWD is relatively new, the teams are smaller and it\u2019s easier to go directly to the big bosses when necessary.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince you get to hang out with [your bosses], they are motivating. And you don\u2019t get that in other companies, na<\/em> you get motivated by the big bosses,\u201d she said. \u201cWe really are a family.\u201d<\/p>\nEdison felt the same way: \u201cIt really means a lot, especially for the sales force, that you can feel the support of your upper management.\u201d<\/p>\n
It even extends online, where the company\u2019s Viber groups make sure that every need and issue can reach team leaders and be addressed by them immediately. There\u2019s also a hotline FSCs can call and an online portal that helps them work on-the-go without missing a beat \u2014 all using gadgets provided by FWD.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have technology, your support team, your upper management, your trainings\u2026so for applicants who don\u2019t have much of an extensive insurance background, they don\u2019t need to worry, because they will get their support and training,\u201d Edison said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNagtutulungan talaga<\/em>. \u2018Di ka na lang ibabato sa<\/em> field without help,\u201d Aprille added.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s this friendly, supportive atmosphere that sets FWD apart from its competitors in Edison\u2019s eyes: \u201cIt\u2019s more fun to work here! The culture here is relaxed and enjoyable.\u201d<\/p>\n
