Insurance agent friend became very business-like.
-
I got this lady friend who became an insurance agent a few months.I have not caught up with her during this period,so yesterday I asked her to meet up.Her reply was "are you gonna buy anything from me?" I replied curtly to show my tu-lan ness by just saying "No." After that she never get back to me liao...
Before she switched jobs,she was not like this... -
obviously she wasnt happy that on account of your friendship, u didnt even show any interest in even sitiing down and listening to what she has to say.
-
hmm
have you offend her before? -
She did mention she aiming for some target by this month...
-
Maybe she's just stressed up.
Her time is probably extremely precious to her now, because she needs to try to meet up with as many clients as she can? -
in the insurance line, it's easy to get a job inside.Originally posted by Marco_Simone:I got this lady friend who became an insurance agent a few months.I have not caught up with her during this period,so yesterday I asked her to meet up.Her reply was "are you gonna buy anything from me?"

but hard to get a stable income as it's based on purely commission too.
for every policy that they closed, than they will stand to get a certain percentage of commission.
perhaps you should ask her out again.
just to catch up.
perhaps she's stressed by the fact that insurance agents is also a tough job.
only the lucky/skillful people will be able to sell policies well enough. -
the way she acts, I don't think she'll be a very successful insurance sales person ...
-
You really think insurance agents care for you?
-
I think anyone would be angry with that kind of reply friend or not friend.Originally posted by Marco_Simone:I got this lady friend who became an insurance agent a few months.I have not caught up with her during this period,so yesterday I asked her to meet up.Her reply was "are you gonna buy anything from me?"

thats the most stupid question ask directly in front of friends
-
This lady has no class if she continues to be like this.
doko -
Hmmm when it comes to money/business...there's no more "friends"....
-
Maybe TS could have replied, "That depends on your service."
Friends right? Just joke around. It didn't help that you gave such a stern and serious "no".
Insurance agents already face so many rejections everyday and you, as a friend, added to it......sighz. -
u sure she is still friend?

and u probably was her last resortOriginally posted by Marco_Simone:She did mention she aiming for some target by this month...

A true friend will never say like that...lah.... whether he/she is a business minded person or not....
-
I used to know an lady friend who is in insurance. In her mind, those who did not support her are not her friends... cos if you are her friend you will surely help her out.

Its not about friendship.
Its business.
You think you are showing friendship when you call her to catch up.
But she thinks you are wasting her time when she is better off getting business so she can earn for her next meal.
Ultimately, you are equating friendship with togetherness & spending time.
But she moved on to another plane of existence that friendship dont pay for the bread on her table and she dont want to waste that time with you. -
Ya,thats why I said she has became very practical and business minded...quite sad hor...Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Its not about friendship.

I think you got it wrong.Originally posted by Marco_Simone:Ya,thats why I said she has became very practical and business minded...quite sad hor...
when you believe that a persons change is sad.
It means you arent prepared to change or can accept changes.
everyone goes thru changes. But friendship that can tolerate changes are then considered thru friendship. -
Be glad she didnt try to sell u a magnetic mattress or water filter.

You know what?
I sms-ed her again...I asked "Have you managed to meet your target?"
She replied "Why leh?"
I didnt reply thereafter.
