ME AND EFU LIFE:

I had completed my graduation from Punjab University in 2000 and soon after, I started my career in banking sector. However, I was a bit concerned about my career growth and the earnings, hence I made a switch to the Life Insurance industry and joined EFU Life since on 08 March 2010.

EFU Life is the company which provides a bright and long term career growth. I learned so immediately upon joining. I am working now as Falcon member in EFU Life since the past two years. It is a special and recognized designation for those who want to conquer milestones.

I have also qualified for an International recognition i.e. “MDRT” for last three years with EFU Life.

I love to explore places on the world which is why I travel a lot.

MY MOTIVATION:

I got my inspiration from my honorable bosses Mr. Zahid Ali Raza and Mr. Syed Mehdi Raza Zaidi who have been supporting throughout my career and have vitally contributed to my professional development at every stage.

I am thankful to EFU Life’s higher management, particularly our CEO Mr. Tahar G Sachak and our NSD Mr. Mustafa Hussain Oonwala for leading us.

MY MESSAGE:

Be honest and sincere in every step of life. Work hard be positive about everything and enjoy life.

EFU Life becomes the 1st Life Insurer in the world to launch a biometrically enabled policy acquisition system

EFU Life, the leading life insurance company in Pakistan, has been a pioneer in adopting the latest technology with the primary focus on becoming more customer-centric and operationally efficient.

Keeping up with the tradition of technological breakthrough initiatives, EFU Life has become the first life insurance company in the world to offer BLISS – a biometrically enabled, entirely digital, instant savings-cum-protection policy acquisition system.

BLISS allows a life insurance savings-cum-protection contract to be validated and created using biometric thumb-impression, which is verified instantaneously using Biometric Verification Services offered by the Government of Pakistan’s National Database & Registration Authority (NADRA). The system offers a fully digital, paperless experience. No physical or digital signatures on the app or paper, no hassles of paper forms, no physical copies of underwriting documents required, ever!

Speaking on the launch, Mr. Zain Ibrahim, Chief Operations Officer, EFU Life said “As a customer-centric insurer, we take our customer’s needs as the ultimate guide to decision making. As more and more of our customers demand real-time engagement, we are enthusiastically embracing the shift from the old paper-oriented sales process to a new, truly cohesive, digital ecosystem that eliminates the need for any manual intervention.

It l takes just ten minutes for a customer to buy a biometrically enabled savings-cum-protection product at a place of their convenience. No cumbersome paper forms needed to be filled and signed, no paper documents required to be submitted, and the best part is that the customer will receive digital Policy Documents immediately.

This new project is another testament to our resolve to make buying a savings-cum-protection life insurance policy an easy, hassle-free and pleasurable experience for our clients.”

ME AND EFU LIFE:

“In the name of Allah, most gracious and most merciful”
Asalam o Aliekum,
I had graduated with my MBA in Marketing from Peshawar. Before Joining EFU Life Assurance Ltd. I had worked in several different financial organizations (Banking and Finance) at Peshawar.
In 2011, while giving a presentation to Mr. Atif Dildar Khan (currently serving as AGM North in another Life Insurance Company), I was able to impress him with my skills to an extent that he had offered me a position in his team. Till date, I regard him for introducing me to the life insurance sector, after which I followed his footsteps and in a very short span of time (less than 2 years) I was able to achieve Million Rupee Club membership (3 times in a row).
Then in 2014, I moved to Lahore and joined EFU LIFE ASSURANCE LTD. under the leadership of Mr. Tanveer Ahmed Khan (Zonal Manager) as a Sales Consultant. Since 2015, I had qualified for the position of Business Development Manager, consecutively attended 5 MDRTs and two Falcon Memberships.
During my five year association with EFU Life Assurance Ltd., I had learnt a lot from Mr. Mustafa Hussain Oownwala (our NSD), Mr. Muhammad Younis Butt (our ANSD), Mr. Tanveer Ahmed Khan (ZM) and Mr. Mahmood Ahmed (Sr. BM)

MY HOBBIES AND INTERESTS

Though I am rarely able to spare some time from my routine work, but whenever I do, I indulge in outdoor sport, explore new places, travel & shop. I love to devote my time for my future.

MY MOTIVATION:

I derive my inspiration from my honorable bosses Mr. Muhammad Amjad and Mr. Zahid Ali Raza.
Both have been very supportive throughout my career and have contributed to my professional development at every stage.
I look up to the higher management as a source of motivation and thank our CEO Mr. Taher G Sachak and our NSD Mr. Mustafa Hussain Oonwala for leading us.“Desire to be the best”
Motivation is a fire that originates from within. If someone else tries to light that fire for you then it will not shine that bright rather light it up yourself to create an impact. I take pride in my work and sense of accomplishment drives me across limits

MY MESSAGE:

Winners from all areas of life devise and follow their own strategies, but all of them have one thing in common – they TRY! So keep trying till you win.
