Everyone debates the issue of life insurance. Most agree they need it, but then again, who wants to deal with a pushy agent who is only interested in the sale? Agents like that have given insurance a bad name and caused many to go without it when they really needed to have it.
The main question is how do you find an agent who wants to sell a policy just because they know you are going to an eventually die. Believe it or not, good agents are out there. They exist and are not that hard to find, contrary to popular belief. All agents are not the same, in fact, some actually put their customer’s needs before their own.
If you are looking for a life insurance agent, set up a meeting. You will know within the first five minutes of eye contact whether or not they will be willing to help you get what you need. If they make sincere eye contact and actually listen to you when you tell them what you need, you might have picked a winner.
On the other h and, if you walk in and begin to talk less about how much insurance you need and more about how much the premiums will be, you might want to rethink your choice. Agents like that are normally the fast talking, shady type who look like their night job is working at a car lot that sells nothing but lemons and loose promises.
Follow your instinct and choose the agent that’s right for you. And remember, the ones who try to put you into an early grave with all their fast talk and confusion are probably not a good choice!
