I Fired a Client

March 3, 2006 by bob.

I fired a client today and it felt really good.

OK, they weren’t yet a client, only a prospective client. Still, I got a rush doing it. They were quickly becoming a pain in the butt. Some folks are like that. Generally, I am a nice guy with a low boiling point but even nice guys have their limits.

I hit mine today.

This woman kept asking me ways to cheat a carrier out of money. Hell she is already cheating the taxpayers, now she wants to get in the pockets of the carriers.

I hate carriers just as much as the next person, but I also respect what they do. Without carriers a lot more people would go bankrupt. Without carriers I would have to find some other way to earn a living. Somehow I just can’t see myself asking if you want to Super-Size your order.

I understand carriers and I definitely know how to maximize policy benefits. I can squeeze more benefit dollars out of a carrier than just about anyone. That’s why my clients love me so much. Dollar for dollar they get more benefit for their premium than they can do on their own.

It feels really good to help someone find great value for their premium dollars.

Almost as good as firing someone.
