DNA Testing on Food
Remember reading a newspaper article a few days ago regarding some DNA testing for food.
If I remember correctly, it's developed with some $900,000 seed money from one of the stat board (which I can't remember which).
It's to prevent food fraud, which means if a packed food labels itself as chicken, the DNA testing will ensure that what's packed is chicken.
Which is great with all the food scares, it will make sure that no dog meat or *gasp* human meat is being passed of as chicken or beef..
But the DNA testing will not be able to tell if the food is poisoned or with toxins! So it means after spending more thtn $900,000, the test can tell me that the chicken I bought is indeed chicken.. but it can't tell me if I will die from eating it in case it's poisoned or filled with toxins?!..
Great!

"Thank You"
Two simple words.
A great reminder and reinforcement of my chosen career.
More than the money, the awards and the incentive trips, it is the ability to help people and deliver the cheque when they are most in need.
Delivered the first cheque in my career today. Just helped a client's mum to do a claim. She bought a policy from the bank/road show (she doesn't even remember!). Adviser never seen or heard again since then. She had to call me to help her do the claim.
I'm glad the company and I were able to offer her the best service when she needed it most. The cheque was issued within a week with my persistent calling and checking with the company. Ensuring the necessary documents were submitted, going down to the head office to collect and deliver the cheque personally. The other company that she bought from, she got the cheque today even though the claims were submitted to the company a lot earlier before she called me. And the cheque actually came by POST!
She was very pleased and touched with my efforts. She wasn't even my client, and she had kept putting me off for about 1 year. Always busy and not willing to meet up with me. But I'm glad I delivered when it mattered most. She was very happy that I did my best even though she's not my client.
I always belive true service starts AFTER a sale is made.
The quarterly newsletter that I create for my clients, the annual review planners that I send out, the updates when there are new products or changes in rules and regulations etc.. I do all these after a sale is made with my priority being my clients when other advisers may be too busy trying to get new clients/sales (or just not doing anything!).
Remember: at the point of sale, everybody can provide "good service". It's the after-sale that matters!
