Broker feedback

“Thank you for all your effort and guidance for the exams. I told my wife that I was ready to throw in the towel until I started your learning material and I feel even better now that I have attended your workshop.

You are gifted at what you do and I thank you so much for putting us all at ease with the manner in which you presented it.

Keep up the good work.” - Henry Tyrer, Nelspruit Insurance Brokers

“Thanks Fatima.
Well done!” - Henry Breedt

“We’ve received so much positive feedback and praise on the excellent course.

This has certainly won us some fantastic mileage with our brokers over and above the service of equipping them with vital knowledge.” - James Peters, Cape Town

---

“The regulatory workshop was well-run and professional. Despite the mind-numbing nature of the material and the frustration of the need to do it, I got a lot out of what you had to tell us and am less overwhelmed by the scope of what needs to be done.

You have certainly done your company and the brand proud.” - Jason Whiting, Jason Whiting and Associates

“My colleagues described the Etana course held in the Western Cape region as excellent.

Some people here are doing so well, while I am still reading through Module 1! Unisa exams have had to take a back seat until I get through the RE1 stuff.

If you ever offer one of these courses again, please would you bear me in mind as I would like to attend.” - Cindy van Heerden, Glenrand M.I.B

“An enormous thank you to Fatima and Etana for hosting this most informative session.

I totally enjoyed the day (even if I hate the fact that exams must be written). 

I have just come from a meeting with my CO who assures me that Etana offering is the best he has heard of at this stage.” - Eddie Erda

“Thank you once again for yesterday’s highly successful presentation.

We have had numerous calls from brokers today and everybody was ecstatic about the manner in which you handled the training and also how helpful it was to them.

You made us proud to be Etanans!” - Gerhard Greeff, branch manager Etana George

“Wil net sê baie dankie vir gister se ‘workshop’ – dit was verseker die beste “trainer” en workshop.” - Liezel Otto, TFD versekeringsmakelaars

“Baie dankie vir die geleentheid wat ons gister gekry het. Ek moet sê dit het ‘n groot verskil aan my gemoed gedoen.” - Elsie Marneweck, Lifecor Limpopo Finansiele Dienste

“I would like to say a big thank you to all at Etana for their initiative and assistance in these exams.  A huge thank you to Fatima as well for all her efforts.

This has been surprisingly hard on all of us, and there is no way in hell any of us would have a chance without assistance!

What astounds me is that no other insurer has even attempted such an initiative - and this just shows me the potential power that Etana has. Thank you, and love to all,” – Maryann Gama, the Brokerage.
