Financial advisor

Hello I have just started a new job as a financial advisor, if it could help or intrest anyone, i can make your dreams come true!

I can help you gain money on insurances (all type) / retirement money / help to construct a house buy or sell a house / finacial security / taxes / Financial banking for intrest / protection of goods / developpement of financial fortune.

All of this is completly free!

The way we get payed is by the compagny that you sign up with that pay's us.

Basiclly it's extremly intresting and has some great ways how to develope finances. An exemple someone who put's 100 CHF away for 15 years will earn himself 65'000 CHF garanteed! Which is double that he put in!

That's just one of many different options of course and if you would like a rendez-vous, don't be shy send me a mail with number and i'll contact you as soon as possible.

Try not to judge in advance take a rendez-vous it will take an hour for you to judge what you think of my services

In Between Sion and Geneva is my main territory but i am open to go elsewhere

Have a great day and hope to see you soon!

You are in violation of the terms of use of this system. Please go to the commercial section and read the guidelines. Commercial posts are only allowed in certain circumstances and then almost always in the commercial area.

This thread will be deleted shortly.

I can also see from the way you write that English is not your native language - that's ok it can be difficult to write in a foreign language. However, some people might mistakenly think that you are English and in this case they might be put off from using your services. Financial matters require precision and care, and poor spelling and grammar don't advertise your services well. Asking a native speaker to check (or even using a spell checker) might be of benefit next time.

Actually I was going to kill this thread, but I'm tempted to leave it for a while and then move it into the jokes area because it is kind of funny....

Not fair! I said take a rdv a see for yourselves before judging the halfwit...

And i donno where you saw 100k lol It was just an exemple and it's something that alot of people can benefit from, all the advise is for free, the client decides himself weither it's worth his while or not, judge after a rdv!

You can't expect us to believe that the UK's education system is so bad that someone hasn't grasped the basics of spelling, punctuation and grammar by the time they reach their tenth school year? Let's hope the same didn't apply to maths...

Who are you to judge?

why don't people believe people anymore? Are you all surrounded by dishonest people lol, obviously I will need to scan my english passport to proove to you that I am origanally english, I woulden't sign up on an english forum site if I am not english lol what's the point in me making up excuses for my english?

Some people try to tell the truth every now and then shame that people can't quite understand that an can't tell the difference from the honest and dishonest!

Any way for me that prooves that the people that acuse people of being a liar they are liar's themeselves and that speech is very well known!

The point on all this was just to give a little help to some english people (or english speakers), the ones who reckon they are paying to much on their insurances, or wan't to reduce there cost's and gain a deasent amount of intrest somewhere. If it's something that doesen't intrest you why dig them in a hole? If that person is trying to do something to help others, why critise him?

I guess no matter what country you may live in there will always be some people who always gain pleasure in critisising others because they are insecure.

Well maybe I'm insecure, but it is taking me twice as long to read your posts because there are just so many errors in every sentence. This is called an unfair transfer of effort - you write terrible English once, and hundreds of people have to sit there figuring it out. Quite a few people have dropped some hints to you on this and other threads, but you don't seem to take the hint. Lob pointed to his guide on apostrophe use (which I'm guessing you didn't read) and I also pointed you to a thread about English literacy (where we were discussing this very issue).

So to make this really simple. If you use a browser like firefox simply right click on the text field and say "spell check this field" - all of the errors will be highlighted in red so you can correct them. Second thing - plural forms (i.e. more than one of something) do not have an apostrophe. e.g. liars not liar's.

It's not that people don't trust that you're English, they seem to believe, based on your responses, that you may not be competent to advise them on financial matters. But you seem unable to grasp that point, nor the significance of an image such as that to this thread:

Re: Financial advisor

I agree my spelling is not very good and i do make mistakes, but people have got to realise that i'm only trying to help someone with some advise and my english spelling has nothing to do with that.

I asked politly that please DON'T JUDGE but you seem to carry on and it's that what surprises me, I said take a rdv and then say what you wan't on a thread, but of course one may be hurt that they do not beleive he is english and is not professional in his work when certificats and diplomas proove the contrary.

I first put a post to help people, if you wan't my help ok no problem, if you don't why be so inpolit?

No one has thought of saying "safy well done it's not often people go out of their way to help others" (and for free). nobody have to be nasty, at first I'm just trying to help so something positif!

I will look into firefox I'm not a wiz on the internet for the little gadgets but will make an effort!

Come on now. Be honest. It's not quite true that your services are free, is it? You're paid commission off your clients' investments. How much does the company pay you?

Re: Financial advisor

http://www.financial-seminar.net/fin...r_systems.html

According to this to sell financlial planning successfully you have to be to entertain- to make people like you. So Safy has picked one of 5 choices, she could have done a trick, tell a story, play an instrument, compose a poem, or tell a joke. Safy scored three out of a possible five, she told us a story, made us laugh and even tried to trick us. Safy, we just need a poem and music to give you a full score.
We might be able to help with the poem- perhaps a Limerik like -
There was a financial advisor named Safy etc.
