—Glen Alexander Winata, Jakarta, Indonesia, nine-year MDRT member - Cooking for care and referrals
I love cooking for clients. A lot of clients are very busy juggling work and childcare. On weekends, I cook for myself and clients. It’s how I show them I care — and it’s how I got a lot of referrals. I make good, healthy food to keep them healthy so they don’t have to use their insurance benefits. The best way to connect with hearts is through my healthy food.

—Ronald Espina Lim Jr., Cebu City, Philippines, eight-year MDRT member - Connecting with a tap
