Sorry for those that can't get a Mercury appointment. Don't give up...keep trying & don't step on any toes, And sorry for the agents that don't get the proven underwriting practices of the 2 largest auto insurer in California.
Like many things in life after some thought you get it....obviously those with the negative comments have some thinking to do.... What does 20% commission & a high 90% retention do? $$$$$$$$
Botton line is Good carrier, generous compensation, and happy clients
Excuse me I need to cash my Monthly commission check....oh ya then in October I need to get a extra bonus to pay down my mortgage on a 4000 sqft house in So. Cal. & travel to Europe......
Keep thinking about that!
Problem with the occupation of an insurance agent is it doesn't require a degree so alot of agents haven't been taught to critically think!
Most company employees (claims & underwriting, top executives) are college educated they know what their doing & wont act hastily. Mercury's claims practices has afforded them longer investment income time............as so to pay off this pocket change.
To answer your question what am I smoking.............? The tires of my exotic sports car paid for in full.....Thanks Joey we will ride into the sunset and laugh all the way to the bank.
Good Day
