Salam again consultants,

we discussed the following items (details in e-mail version) on the 20th april 2009.

1. More Unit Trust Consultant encourage to participate in weekly (and daily) sales tracking – AMs to assist. Sales figures can be sms-ed to farehin/jas/AMs daily or weekly (by Monday 9am). This is to encourage more competitive spirit and to gauge performance vis-a-vis others. We should view this positively and help us move together forward ! In addition, absent AMs can also reciprocate by updating their sales figures to their team members/direct to jas. Very much appreciated. 

2. Corporate Talk – AS Julianna has started with 2 companies. For details, can call jaslinah at 012-2037003. This is a platform (alternative to booth scheme) for Unit Trust Consultants to prospect for potential investors more professionally.

3. Discussed facts & forecasts at fundsupermart’s 18 april forum “when will market recover” – Thanks to Rozita, Raimy & Julianna for sharing. Generally, outlook & recovery (peak to peak) is forecasted in 2 to 3 years, whereas recovery from bottom (oct/nov’08) to peak can be earlier. Corporate recoveries can be distinguished between those dependant on exports vs those dependant on domestic demand. The latter can be expected to recover (or stay resilient) faster. It is also worth to note that during 1930 depression, the US government only acted to save the US economy after 3 years. This was due to inefficient private and finance sector to “heal” itself and the US government’s reluctance to pump liquidity (print money) due to gold issues. The US economy went into deep depression as a result of non-immediate assistance by government (monetary and fiscal policies).

In more recent “recession” – most major economies & governments come forward more pro-actively, more aggressively and more timely to avoid the 1930′s situation from happening again. The forum panels were of the opinion that global economy may be able to avoid similar depression this time around. They also reiterated that stock market precedes the economy by 6 to 9 months, in bearish, recovery and bullish markets.

Salam dear JUST Consultants.

The following were discussed at today’s brainstorming session.

1. ”Financial Talk to Employees” - letter template/sample to seek permission to conduct talk will be e-mailed for your next action.

2. Discussed returns of PNB funds (including ASB) vs-a-vis KLCI. It is noted that whilst KLCI perform well (some volatile and corrections) since 1994, but ASB returns are in a deteriorating fashion. The details and graphs will be circulated to UTC via e-mail. This is a strong marketing tool to explain and show to your investors why UT is a better investment compared to ASB. I strongly believe ASB is depriving (and not helping) its investors. And it gives investors a sense of confidence (as capital is guaranteed) but continue to take away ”psychologically” other better investment options. Resulting in investors investing without thinking and further deprive them of investment knowledge and sophistication. (This is my personal opinion).

3.  It is reiterated that NO Saturday Trainings will be conducted in April 2009 until renovation to Cheras branch is complete. Meanwhile, Biz preview activities “may” continue on a case-to-case basis. Please liase with AM Arif on biz preview @ Saturdays.

 4. Sharing session :

  •   AM Arif : on being persistent and treating investors as LIFETIME CUSTOMERS
  •  Aznita : AMFlexi Ambank product and efforts to secure information on products in market.
  • AS Juliana : on power of affirmation & continuous up-selling to existing investors.

5. Market Talk discussed.
