Sounds like you got a bad agent! You have a cynical view of an insurance agent because of your current experience. We don't just sell paper then wait for the phone to ring for the next client. Heck if we all did that we would starve or maybe your guy is just fat and happy.
Other point that you have a bad agent; LC makes their recommendations, then calls our agency for assistance, you bet your bottom dollar we are out to clients with the recommendation. We don't sell sprinklers, that's someone else's job, we give the client the piece of mind that a sprinkler system could prevent a total fire loss to their business in addition to an insurance premium savings year after year on their policy. If I had an agent with the attitude "I don't sell sprinkler systems", I'd tell him you'd better learn, cause you ain't selling insurance for our agency!
