Tan is no stranger to hardship where he was afflicted with it from a young age. All went well for him until he reached 16 years of age. โMy parents divorced when I was 16. My exam results were unfavourable and the only ambition I had was to be a barber or a mechanic,โ reminisces Tan. โMy sister enrolled me to study at Multimedia University (MMU Melaka) and I met some university mates who transformed my outlook in life.โ
Tan worked part time but struggled financially and he grieved while pondering on the bleakness of his future. โMiraculously, I met my mentor and he taught me that the secret of success is through hard work and having a platform to begin with,โ says Tan. โThis is my 10th year with Prudential.โ
In 2014, Tan spent his savings to set up an office in Ipoh. After discussing with his mentor, they decided to call it YEG. โOur insurance agency currently has around 70 to 80 full-time agents and our motto encompasses the โ3Dsโ which are โDreamโ, โDisciplineโ and โDesireโ. We have a system called โEagle Systemโ where we monitor our agentsโ performances and we teach them by using our โSHARK Systemโ, which stands for skill, habit, attitude, recruitment and knowledge,โ says Tan.
