Apparently he doesn’t need the business. That’s fine by me but that still strikes me as terrible. Especially if you’re supposed to be running it like “it’s your own business”.

I’d be on the hustle all. the. time. Word of mouth is such a big deal here in LC.


I'm not trying to give you a hard time and I thought just like you do not too long ago. I'm on the other side of things now and there is a balance to maintain.

You're not a bad client per se. To give you the attention you require, at the rates he charges, may be costing him money. If it were me, and this was the situation, I wouldn't ignore you but I'd charge the appropriate fee for my time and you would either pay it or decide to find an agent that can take care of you like you want for the price you'd like to pay.

I've found that's the most amicable way to handle these situations.

***This guy could also just be lazy and content and not service any of his clients. I'm just giving another perspective on what could be happening.***

If I’m setting up insurance with your agency, you’re going to charge me money to advise me on the policy I’m buying from you?

It’s not I refuse to pay the appropriate rate. This just seems ridiculous. A little bit of effort from a Insurance Agent at the beginning doesn’t strike me as that big of a deal or improper.

But hey, whatever. Maybe I just have old school ideas.
