FWC wants to earn at least Rm 6,000 per month.

MDA 200 and MDRT 100 NLP in Selling Seminar

5 & 6th September 2008 Grand Ballroom, Impiana KLCC Hotel

Lee Sheng Wah a respected leading trainer in Neuro Linguistic Programming and an author of 3 books with another 7 more to write is the sole master trainer in this seminar. 2 solid days from 9 to 5 pm. More surprisingly, AIA gave moon cakes to each participants without any contest.

Namlifa Mega Convention

Aug 26-28, 2008 Genting International Convention Center, Genting Highland

Fantastic AIA outing!! 850 AIA's participated in the Convention for a capacity of 1600 participants. Company throw a sumptous welcome dinner on the 1st nite at Coffee Terrace, Genting Hotel. Plenty of good food, show and good incentives. I understand there were some agents who think it's just another ordinary dinner, therefore they went on to eat Bah Kut Teh in the Hainanese restaurant. Ha! Ha! this time they were wrong.

AIA being a DIAMOND sponsor, have Mr. Ramzy and Mr. Khor as platform speaker and AIA had also sponsored Mr. Sirivat (sandwich Man from Thailand) as the anchor speaker. I guess i don't get bored listen to him again because I believe there is always something new to learn each and every seminar. The most touching session is before the last speaker Mr. Sirivat session, Collin emereged to belt out 4 songs with his keyboard, Collin had being visually challenged since birth managed to graduate his degree in Music from Sedaya College. I bought a book title "Harvest of Love" written by Collin's mother Janet Ng. A very touching book to read.

Akard Dinner for AIA had been meaningful cos AIA had grabbed 10 out of the 15 prestigous award. Thunderous applause was received from AIA receipient cos more than half of the hall was packed by AIA'ers. Cheers!! We are the Best!
