I have to say it must be the way to go. It’s the popular thing nowadays. It’s everywhere. On the internet the ads are all over the place. If you work in the industry you are bombarded by offers. Online insurance quotes are the way to go.
- Where else can you get 2-3 phone calls within 2 minutes of submitting the information? You raise your hand to say that you are interested in insurance and they call you right away wanting to sell it to you. Perfect.
- It’s the best way to get the cheapest policy. That’s what it’s about right? Price. It’s an easy choice who to go with just take the lowest priced policy. All insurance is the same. What’s company rating?
- They know what’s best for me. In only a few minute conversation or maybe no conversation at all, I get my quotes. People call and can give me exactly what I need right away, perfect. That brings me to my next point…
- They are here to help me. They want me to have the best insurance policy on the market. I can trust that they are going to help me and my family be protected. And they get their 80+% commissions.
- I might need other insurance. It’s great that they pass my information around to people who sell other types of insurance. I love getting more phone calls from people I don’t know trying to sell me something. Auto, health, homeowners, renters, business, I might just need it all.
- They’re the insurance best-of-the-best. Think about it. The most successful insurance people must be the ones buying the leads. It’s the successful ones that are waiting around the phone to call as soon as they get the lead in their inbox and then get into a price competition and sell something to someone they have never met.
It’s really the perfect scenario. I type my personal information into a website I saw on tv. They send it to 4 or 5 people who can really help me. These people call me right away with all the answers to my problem. They know what’s best for me and sell it to me as quickly as possible. Go to the websites and put your information in now.

I think I sense some irony in here. I could go point by point about buying life insurance online from a company you saw on TV, but I’ll just pick two off the top of my head.
1. Getting phone calls from agents within minutes who you don’t know and haven’t proven they can help you is… annoying at best. One of the great things about shopping online is that is anonymous and hassle-free. These companies violate that expectation.
4. The commission (well over 100% in some cases) creates a conflict of interest on the part of a sales agent giving advice. Do they know what’s best for you? Maybe. Will they give you the best advice, even when it means they make less money? Perhaps.
I don’t think you went off the deep end, but just in case, I thought I was best to respond.
Aaron, thanks for the comment. You do bring up a good point that shopping online can be anonymous and hassle-free. Unfortunately, most of the companies out there just harvest and sell off your information to 3-5 insurance agents. Of those people that buy them they just paid a price for your information so they are most likely just looking for quick commissions. This is just my experience maybe someone has had better luck.
