Insurance buyers often tell me that they are too confused by insurance to even know what questions to ask. I have at least a partial solution in my white paper, 126 Questions to Ask Your Insurance Agent. Here is one of the questions and some background on what you get as an answer:
Question #16 - What's your biggest concern with our insurance program?
This is an open ended question designed to get your agent talking about his level of understanding and concern with aspects of your insurance. Even the simplest insurance plan has, within it, complex issues. There may be coverage questions that the agent has brought up in earlier meetings - perhaps years before. This is the agent's chance to bring them up again.
Agent: "Well Bob, last year we talked about employment related practices coverage. You decided not to buy the insurance. Perhaps that was the right decision. However, you still have the exposure of an employee or former employee accusing one of your managers of harassment or discrimination. I'm concerned with the money you would have to spend even on a groundless suit."
Underlying all the questions in my white paper is an analysis of the abilities and work your agent does for you. How comfortable are you with your agent? Is he paying attention to you and your needs? Are you comfortable with his efforts on your behalf? Is this agent the best agent for you?
