ARRON BORILLOFinancial Advisor · Unit Manager01 / A NOTE FROM YOUR FUTURE MENTOR
I’ve started a
new chapter, too.
My offshore years taught me preparation, teamwork, and the value of having someone dependable beside you. Together with Rocel, my wife and partner for life, a seasoned, multi-awarded advisor, I bring that spirit to mentoring: practical guidance, clear expectations, and honest feedback before and after client conversations.
You do not need to have every answer on day one. Bring your questions, a willingness to practise, and the courage to start.
Hindi kailangang perfect sa simula. Ang mahalaga, handang matuto at tumupad sa usapan.

06 / BEFORE YOU TAKE THE FIRST STEP
A few things
you may be wondering.
Clear expectations help both of us make a good decision.
Do I need prior experience?
Prior sales or service experience can help, but it is not the only starting point. We welcome motivated people who are ready to learn and meet the formal requirements.
How many hours will I work?
We will discuss the time you can realistically protect for learning, outreach, meetings, and follow-through. Flexibility still requires consistent effort.
What training is provided?
Licensing preparation, product training, mentorship, and practice with feedback. Arron and Rocel help you understand the work and build your skills.
How does compensation work?
This is a commission-based advisor opportunity. Income varies with business results and is not a guaranteed salary. Medical subsidies, insurance coverage, and a company-matched retirement or provident fund may be available, subject to eligibility, qualification requirements, and current program terms. We will explain the details during our conversation.
What are the licensing requirements?
We guide you through the applicable Insurance Commission licensing exams, required training, documentation, and Sunlife contracting and approval steps. Requirements depend on the activities you will be authorized to perform.
How long does the process take?
Timing depends on exam availability, documentation, training, and approvals. We will map the applicable steps and realistic dates with you.
Does sending this form commit me to joining?
No. It is an expression of interest so we can discuss the opportunity. Your conversation time will be confirmed with you; submitting the form does not make a formal application or book an appointment automatically.
How will we decide whether this is a good fit?
Through an honest conversation about the work, examples of how you keep commitments, and a short fictional practice with feedback. You have room to ask questions and decide whether to proceed. We consider willingness to learn, initiative, and realistic availability.
YOUR NEXT CHAPTER
You bring the willingness.
Let’s explore the possibilities.
