ST Knows: Should I tell the insurance agent I am not getting disability insurance now or tell him a different agent found me a better price?

Posted by James Bond (aka Igor) (aka Igor) Nov 16 '14, 10:46

In the course of my research on this I spoke with 3 agents, first one offered 10% off, second (who just e-mailed me asking if I will like to pursued) offered 20% off and the third (who I accidentally stumbled upon) offered 30% off.

This is identical insurance. It just so happens that the 3rd guy deals with our residency (and administers our other insurances) and knows all the possible discounts offered.
The second guy also claims to deal with our residency.

So I tell the second guy "not now" or should I inform him that I am going with someone else because they were able to uncover an extra discount?

Be truthful with him that you received a better quote elsewhere. If you'd really rather do business with him, let him know what he's missing. -- nm - spamlet Nov 16, 10:53

Tell him you got a better deal. He may up the ante if it is identical insurance -- nm - amoxy Nov 16, 10:47 2
