Why Become a Sun Life Financial Advisor?
There are more reasons why you should join Sun Life aside from the attractive compensation package. Here you can spend quality time with your family while having a purposeful career.
Earn Unlimited Income
Have you ever felt being salary-restricted when shopping in a mall? How about eating out and being freaked out by how much a single dish costs? Ughh, your dream vacation is put on hold because of a limited budget?
Did you know that Financial Advisors get to write their paychecks?
Similarly, if you pursue this career, then you will get to buy your wants, eat without looking at the price on the menu and take a vacation without breaking your budget.
I bought my first car using my earnings as a Sun Life advisor. It is something I need to service my beloved clients. Now, I’m looking forward to buying my dream car.
I earned my first million. Most advisors will say that they bought a car, started a business, made their first million, and so on when they joined Sun Life. I guess it’s possible if you’re working hard in a great company. It’s genuinely a fulfilling job when you can get the things you deserve.
Work on Your Most Productive Time
Are you tired of waking up daily at 4 am to prepare for work at 8 am? How about the ever stressful traffic from home going to your office? I know it’s frustrating to brave EDSA just to arrive late. But once you join Sun Life, you will not be required to wake up early. In other words, you can rise from bed at 9 am and still be productive.
Enjoy Professional Growth
Sun Life offers financial assistance in your competency. It also provides FREE training and seminar so you can be confident in answering the questions of your clients. Promotion is also given to those who perform well, regardless of age and tenure. I’ve seen as young as 22 yrs old being promoted to unit manager, making him the youngest unit manager in Sun Life’s history. Who knows if you’re the next in line?
The picture above is us while enjoying our all-expense paid trip by Sun Life for 3 days and 2 nights in Shangri-la Boracay. We did not even spend a centavo for this whole trip from food, transportation, and accommodation.
Get Rewarded for Your Efforts
Don’t you love to be recognized for your hard work? No matter how big or small the battle Sun Life knows how to recognize it through simple prizes like jackets, certificates, cash incentives, medals, trophies, and even one of your dream vacations like a trip in Boracay, Bohol, Japan, Caribbean, etc. On top of that, Sun Life is very generous in giving bonuses you won’t usually get by working in an office setup.
A Business of Helping Others
What I truly love about being in this career is the power vested in us to change the lives of our clients. Commission, incentives, bonuses, etc. are just like icing on the cake. Above all, nothing beats the happiness that comes from securing the future of a family. We’re not there only to collect payments but rather to become part of their incredible journey toward financial freedom.
How to Become a Sun Life Financial Advisor
Being a financial advisor is still a job. You must pass all the steps needed to become a full pledge advisor. But don’t be intimidated yet because the steps are easy to do.
Here’s how to become a Sun Life Financial Advisor.
1. Interview with the Manager
First, you need to reach out to a Sun Life manager (or manager candidate like me) and get an interview schedule. We will be discussing the opportunities we have in store for you, like income, bonuses, and many more.
2. Insurance Training
Sun Life provides FREE training to applicants before taking the licensure exam. A licensed agent is only allowed to sell insurance products under the Insurance Commission. Something you can take pride that you are not just a salesperson because you are trained and licensed to give financial advice.
3. Traditional and VUL Examination
After taking the training, you may now take the licensure examination. The fee for two exams s Php 2,020. Because you’ll be paying for this, it will motivate you, even more, to pass the exam in one go.
4. Learn About Our Products
Sun Life wants the best for you; that’s why the company, by all means, provides training courses for you. You will also learn here how you can help your clients achieve their financial goals through financial planning.
5. Licensing
You must prepare Php 3,090 for the two licenses and Php 400 for notarization. Also, you must submit the usual employment requirements.
6. Coding
Coding is the process of putting you in the system of Sun Life. After that, you will be eligible to sell life Sun Life products and be recognized as a Sun Life Financial Advisor.
7. Helping Others Achieve Lifetime Financial Freedom
Reach out to as many people as you can and help them achieve financial freedom. Educate them and become their lifetime partner that they can fully trust.
Learn More About Our Team
Our team will be called “The Wise Guys.” Just like how I started in Sun Life, and you came to know me is through my FB page and personal blog, “The Wise Guy.”
Who is Federico?
My name is Federico Suan, Jr., an electronics engineer who founded TheWiseGuyPH in 2017. I joined Sun Life in the hope of creating more income for the growing needs of my family since my father died in 2015.
To date, I am the youngest successful financial advisor in one of Sun Life Branches in Makati. I was able to achieve that despite being so timid, lacking the right market to offer my services, and having no sales experience at all.
You may wonder how I made it, right?
My need during that time is more significant than my fears. So I just have done what I have to do. Shy? I joined several activities and communities wherein I can practice my social skills. No market? I created my own thru Facebook and Google marketing. No sales experience? I read books, watched sales techniques on youtube, and enrolled in several workshops to upskill myself.
And if I’ve done it, then there’s no reason for you not to.
You might even surpass me, and I’ll be more than happy to be part of your success.
Meet Our Team
Our team is composed of engineers (just like me), accountants, hoteliers, salespersons, professors, government employees, etc. who are hard-working individuals and very passionate about helping others.
What are the Qualifications?

- Sales experience is an advantage.
- Fast-learner and coachable

But the most important thing we are looking for is obedience. This journey is never a walk in the park. You may come across some struggles and numerous rejections in this job but never lose hope and be obedient.

Thus, you need to be obedient to me as your manager, and I’ll assure you of your success in this job.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
If you want to be a Financial Advisor, you must ready Php 5,500.
You can finish the process in less than a month, but it will still depend on the time you are willing to spare it.
A financial advisor earns from the commission of selling insurance plans. The earnings will depend on what type of insurance plan you are selling.
The quota or validating requirement is very easy to achieve. It’s the amount you don’t want to get because it’s too small. If you join our team, we’ll help you unleash your maximum potential.

Disclaimer: I am a proud Sun Life Financial Advisor who can help you in your journey towards financial freedom. However, my posts only reflect my personal views and opinions.
Federico is an electronics engineer, financial blogger, insurance agent, and a certified investment solicitor. A multi-awarded financial advisor with clients ranging from lawyers, doctors, engineers, accountants, business owners, company directors, and OFWs to minimum wage earners had sought advice from him in achieving lifetime financial freedom.
Hi Federico! I’m interested to join the team as a part time agent. I would like to ask do I still need to prepare 5,500 even during pandemic. Coz, I think licensure exam has been postponed? Also, I’m living in Makati however, I am stranded in our province. Could I still join? I am also turning next year on January, would that be a problem if I join now? Thank you. God Bless and More Powers!!!
Hi Claudine. Yes, you are correct there’s no examination now. The good news is that the IC is now issuing temporary insurance. The process is practically the same less the examination. So you just need to prepare Php 3,030 for the license.
Please kindly fill out the form if you are serious about being part of my team. Thanks 🙂

Good Morning! I am working as an OFW.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Louie. As much as we would love to have you in our team but sorry we don’t accept OFWs as FA’s because by law applications for life insurances should be signed here. Plus, as FA, you must attend meetings and training to further enhance your skills for the benefit of your clients. However, if you eventually decided to stay here for good you can always reach me in the future. Thanks 🙂
i am very interested to be a financial planner please accept me and be my mentor.

Hi Mary Ailene. We would like you to join our team. Just shoot us a message to know more of how Sun Life can help you jumpstart your dreams. Thanks 🙂
Hi Sir! I would love to join your team, but i don’t have a professional experience yet. I’m a college graduate, but i didn’t have a job because of my medical condition. Am I qualified to be a part of your team?
Hi Anna. I hope you’re getting better. Being your future manager, if you pursue this application, it doesn’t matter what your medical condition is, for as long as you can do the job. How you control your mind is more powerful than what the body can do.
Please fill out the form above so we can move forward. Thanks 🙂
Hi Federico. I am an OFW. But I want to be an advisor part-time. I read that OFW is not allowed?
Hi John Robert. Yes, you read it right. This is due to the limitations of the license issued by the Insurance Commission. It will only allow agents to sell life insurance to someone who is currently in the country at the time of application. Also, it somehow protects the interest of the public from fraudulent transactions.
You may still consider being a financial advisor once you settle here in the Philippines for good. I’m just an email away. Thanks 🙂
I would like to join your team!
We want you to join our team as well Marinissa but please fill out the form first. Thanks
Can I join your team even if I’m based abroad?
Hi Michael. No, you need to get a license here in Insurance Commission and that license is only valid in the Philippines. Thanks
I would like to be part of your team.
We would like you to be part of our team as well. Please kindly fill out the form. Thanks
I am one among the many who disregards financial literacy. As years gone by I felt the need to grow my wisdom in terms of finances. I aim to achieve financial freedom and preferably bring every hard working Filipinos to that same state.
Hi Gracelyn. Thank you for sharing that. It’s true, very common for us to neglect the importance of financial literacy. Though we know we need it but the importance of it only shows when we experience financial struggles in our life. That’s where Financial Advisors like us step in to explain and let them understand the things they need to while they’re not experiencing it or if they wouldn’t want to experience it again in the future.
Hoping you can join us in spreading financial awareness that will bring them into a brighter life while enriching yours as well. Thanks again 🙂
