Andrew Sipes, AVA, PFA
Spécialist en planification successorale, Services Financiers RBC Gestion de patrimoine inc.
Andrew est un passionné de l’assurance. Ce ne sont pas les produits qui l’intéressent, mais plutôt l’opportunité d’apprendre à vous connaître, vous, votre famille et votre vie dans son ensemble, et comment l’assurance pourrait vous aider à atteindre vos objectifs les plus chers. Cela explique bien l’objectif fondamental que poursuit Andrew : se concentrer sur les gens et leur fournir la solution optimale pour leur situation unique.
Andrew est essentiellement un éducateur. Il dit, « Si je n’avais pas choisi les assurances, je serais probablement un enseignant. En tant que spécialiste en planification successorale, mon rôle consiste à éduquer les clients sur quels produits conviennent à quelles situations, et comment faire pour qu’ils fonctionnent pour nous. Il ne s’agit pas d’une question de vente. Il s’agit d’aider les gens à découvrir une solution d’assurance qui leur convient, s’il en est une. C’est toujours une question de gens, et non de produits. »
Andrew est spécialiste en planification successorale depuis 1993. Il habite à Toronto en compagnie de sa femme, de sa fille et de leur chien. Il a été un boxeur amateur jusqu’en 1992 et champion des mi-lourds de l’Ontario. Il s’adonne maintenant passionnément au squash et à la pêche.
