Family Guy had an episode where Peter hosted a TV news segment called "You know what Grinds my Gears" and so I simply am opening a thread with the title based on insurance. Quick story to get this off my chest.
-Fellow from Network Group asks for insurance help. I run many quotes showing to insure the property right anywhere from $3k-$5k with several carriers deeming the property ineligible, I also include a policy from Olympus for around $2k that will do the job...
-Not long after submitting I get a little email saying that I'm actually in major competition(aren't we always?) and that they have a quote for $1850 already...I don't think I have to walk thru all the mechanisms in your head this triggers, none of them positive.
-I ask to see the quote, he gladly sends(he is an attorney) and I actually beat the quote and also send another quote from Olympus beating it with same coverage...should be a done deal from someone in a networking group that doesn't have multiple P&C agents, I'm the only one.
-He notifies me I will not be doing his insurance and I feel like pulling him aside at the next meeting and basically grind a verbal axe thru his skull...he is young and this is his 1st home purchase, he lives with mommy and daddy even as he nears 30, I left home at 17/18 and never returned just like many of you.
-I'm angry and I know that is a terrible place to operate from. I'm grateful to have this forum to vent and it pains me that so many people treat us like dog poop and do not value our time in any fashion.
I'm not looking for sympathy or direct answers necessarily but I'm just angry that I allowed this turkey to take up my time. And it is my fault BECAUSE I should have sniffed out that he was taking in a lot of quotes and it wasn't gonna end well.
