Sorry, but I have a problem with that. What you are suggesting is like going to the grocery store as a consumer (yes - our insured's are the consumer of a product we are the middle men selling), taking my receipt up to the desk and asking them ho much money they just made of each product I bought from them that trip. Sound rediculous - I sure think it is.

If a consumer thinks we agents do what we do for free, market their accounts, service them, etc. for free, then they need to go back to 1st grade. if we didn't make money on what we were doing how could we even be in business.

We as agents need to have the best interest of our insured's in mind with regards to coverage, pricing, etc. In return from that we get commission & sometimes contingent $$ depeding on our book with a cetain company. The contingent $$ does not hurt our client as long as we Agents are honest in our actions.

Whay assume everyone is crooked like Marsh, Willis, etc. I say everyone is innocent until proven guilty!

I think the "Big Guys" got what they deserved for the dishonest acts they committed. Don't put that on me or my agency. We didn't do it and shouldn't have to pay for it.
