I got a telephone call that day from someone who claim that another person recommended me to her. The conversation goes like this:

Caller: Hello, are you Mr. Wilfred Ling?

Me: Yes, I am.

Caller: You were recommended to me by someone. Can I know that are you an Aviva agent?

Me: No, I am not an Aviva agent but from an independent financial advisory firm.

Caller; Are you a Manulife agent?

Me: No, I am not although I do carry their products.

Caller: What company do you work for?

Me: I am from Promiseland Independent.

Caller: Oh, that Canadian land company....

Me: Oh, we do not do land banking. We are an independent wealth management company.

Caller: Are you like __________ (she mentioned another IFA company)?

Me: Yes, we are in the same business. You are right.

Caller: Oh like this, I want to speak to an agent. Bye!

 

I was stunned.
