This is what some of the attendees had to say about the Vancouver School:
"…I was extremely pleased with the information and content. I think the course would be extremely valuable to anyone starting out in this business, and I am very glad that I went……having the chance to interact with others starting out proved to be very valuable for myself…..creating a peer network…." Steven Dumas
"…this training was very helpful with the hands-on very simple tools that helped me to develop my own style of being a professional Life Agent….Ben Duffy is a great tool for a quick introduction and handles any of the unasked questions one may have. I notice when I don’t use it, clients will ask me the very questions that are mostly handled in my Ben Duffy." Nicole Germaine
"….school is definitely a good place for life insurance new comers. It is a well-organized course. It covered so many important areas, in particular the tips for how to start in the business….taught us how to turn around negative situations to positive, including our way of thinking." Lucia Lau
"…enjoyed very much. I feel overwhelmed as a new broker, it helps to be able to ask questions and speak to someone I’ve met…I really appreciate the invitation and would be happy to attend future events." Shelly Lien
"...I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to attend the Hub/ Empire Brokers School of last week...It was a very helpful and enjoyable experience, the trainers from Empire were excellent and shared a wealth of knowledge and experience with us, it was also a pleasure to be part of such a good group...I would like to highlight the professionalism of Rudy Pineda and Leon Kisliuk and to thank them for helping make the four days course such a productive and enjoyable experience".
