Anecdotes

May 3, 2006 by bob.

Nothing wrong with anecdotes. The story came from somewhere. I mean, it’s not like it is fiction or anything. Just someones view of something they experienced.

Testimonials are anecdotes. Of course, no one every publishes the bad things people say about them, only the good. Can’t say I blame them. Who wants to put a bunch of negative things about them out there for people to read?

I ran across this while doing some research. I have to say, I don’t buy in to some of the things posted here, but these letters are a testament to things that can go wrong.

Usually when you become disenchanted with your insurance plan it is because you failed to understand fully what you bought. Hey, this is a complicated field and not everyone can read legalese or even wants to. But the problem is, you are paying a lot of money for a plan that supposedly is like a blank check for $2,000,000 or more. You better understand what it pays, and what it doesn’t.

If you don’t understand, ask the agent who presented the plan. If he or she can’t explain it, either you have the wrong plan, or the wrong agent, or both.

In fact what you probably have is a sales person, not an agent.

There is a difference.

BIG difference.

More on that later.

Meanwhile, read the letters from the link above. You will never find one of my clients writing one of those letters.
