After yesterday’s successful post about the dangers of getting life quotes from only one insurance agent, I might have half my audience mad at me. I figured I would make it up to the life insurance agents by reminding people of the important role they play here and the real value they offer.

Insurance agents are not only important to the life policy buying process, but they are vital to Clarifinancial’s ability to offer such high value. In fact, some insurance agents play an important role keeping life insurance companies honest.

How Agents Add Value to You

Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that all life insurance agents are important. There certainly are the dime-a-dozen variety and the types with the over-the-top personalities who focus on selling instead of solving problems. Chances are if you fit into one of those two categories, you didn’t make it this far.

Most of those types don’t submit quotes on the site either because they market in other ways. Frankly, they usually aren’t interested in a fair competition.

Part of the reason Clarifinancial is such a great environment to shop for life insurance is because of the personal touch and experience of many agents. That means they take the time to research when needed, present creative solutions when appropriate, and make expert judgment calls based on what is important to you.

Rather than bypassing the expertise, flexibility, and experience of the agents who work with our site, Clarifinancial relies on them. You don’t get hard and fast spreadsheet quotes based on basic information. You get the human touch that bends and adjusts around your unique needs and wants. In fact, you get that a few times so you can choose the best quote for you.

Agents Keep Insurance Companies Honest

Most of the agents who have signed up with Clarifinancial represent many companies. So when you see a quote show up, it already represents the best of what was available from that agent. When you choose from many agents, you pick the best from the best.

Even if an agent only represents one company, putting them in a head-to-head fair competition shows what they are really made of. When you get quotes, you don’t see fancy names or boring commercials; just the facts. Company strength, price, turnaround time, agent confidence – it’s all there for you to review in a format that makes sense.

An open and fair competition among all companies means the best ones naturally float to the top. No more skewed competitive analyses from their own marketing department – that’s academic. Now you know how they really perform – that’s real.

It’s like comparing boxing stats or putting them in the ring. How will you know which one is really better for you?

As the agents go through more and more quote requests – more competition – they will continue to improve. The human touch is able to learn and adjust quickly and intuitively.

That’s why insurance agents are so important to deliver the results you expect. Go ahead and try it out now.
