    illustrates two things most completely.
    The first is that our field is complicated and difficult for the average
    person to figure out. The second thing educated insruance (sic) shopper illustrates is that no matter how much you try to explain to some clients the best way, and least expensive way, to organize their insurance, some people so distrust their own representatives that they\’ll quit the guy who steers them straight and go to an order taker from Geico. He probably has these kinds of problems with directions from his doctor, accountant, attorney, dentist, dry cleaner and so on.

    First of all, how would an umbrella do anything for the people at VT. An umbrella covers liability. So if the injured/deceased had an umbrella it would pay nothing. Maybe you are confusing an umbrella with life insurance. Obviously you have no idea what you purchased. Most agents do not want an idiot like you for a customer. Secondly, buying a second policy for your wife who is automatically covered by the first is just buying the same thing twice. How stupid can you be? If you wanted more coverage just increase it from 1million to 2 million to 3 million etc. Buying a second one just shows your stupidity and is a waste of money. By the way, I am a fairly new agent in business 4 years now. I have written a ton of former Geico and Progressive direct business and saved those people money every time. I have yet to lose one client to Geico or Progressive Direct. Just this year Geico opened up a local agent office in my town. It seems even the Lizard can see retention is not there in selling direct. I quoted my own auto insurance with Geico and it was $300 more annually than my wife and I our paying now and it was for less coverage. They will not go as high as I have on liab or um/uim. I do not know whom they are saving 15% but it is not any of my clients.

    I read where you are 4 years new to the insurance business, but are you also 4 years new to life??? Look up sarcasm to see what the Educated one was up to.

    \”Geico doesnt pay an agent a commission, they pay a temporary customer service rep the equivalent.\”

    I believe they pay the difference to the Advertising Agency and Big Media. GEICO is one of THE largets MEDIA advertisers Ive seen.

    Some guy bought two umbrellas because – someone would sell it to him? LOL …

    Good for you \”Edu-micated\” shopper … You may want to actually READ those contracts you signed – because I can assure you GEICO\’s lawyers have :-)

    Insurance purchasing and shopping online is nifty. I fear no website / 800 # / or Talking Lizard! 2nd rate wannabee\’s bottom feeding on the UN-Educated, gullible consumer – who think they got a deal just because they got it on the internet.
