 Some
people think it doesn't really matter where they buy their
insurance. But this misconception could be costing them money,
service and protection. Buying insurance isn't like buying bread or
milk. Insurance is an important safety net for a family, a car, a
home, or a business. Don't treat the purchase lightly!
There is a difference in where you buy your protection. Many
people don't realize there are three sources for insurance:
 |
Captive Agents -- sell you the
insurance of only one company. |
|
Telephone Representatives --
offer you the insurance of one company, and only on the
telephone. |
|
Independent Insurance Agents --
represent an average of eight insurance companies and research
these firms to find you the best combination of price,
coverage, and service. |
Your Independent Insurance Agent:
|
Is a licensed professional with
strong customer and community ties. |
|
Gives you excellent service and
competitive prices because your agent can access the insurance
coverage from more than one company. |
|
Unlike other agents, is not
beholden to any one company; thus, you don't need to change
agencies as your insurance and service needs change. |
|
Assists you when you have a
claim. |
|
Is your consultant, working
with you as you determine your needs. |
|
Offers you a choice of
insurance plans and programs. |
|
Is a value hunter who looks
after your pocketbook in finding the best combination of
price, coverage and service. |
|
Offers one-stop shopping for a
full range of products-home, renters, auto, business, life and
health. |
|
Can periodically review your
coverage to keep up with your changing insurance needs. |
|
Treats you like a person, not
just another number. |
|
Customer satisfaction is the
key to an independent agent's livelihood. So, serving you is
your independent agent's most important concern. |
