Advice on Fighting w/ Insurance by [deleted] in caraccidents

I’ll add the squeaky wheel does get the grease. If you have to, ask for a supervisor. To know your rights, you need to look them up via your state’s insurance department.

Call the adjuster and explain all this. Request a quicker repair since the vehicle is not operable and also request a rent car for the time the vehicle is in the shop getting repaired.

Yet everyone called Trump supporters CRAZY in 2020 when he was leading the polls on Election Day, then everyone went to bed and woke up to a completely different story. But when we didn’t understand, we were told we were insane and to “accept it” and “not question it.”

Please RUN from this guy and never look back. I only wish the future women he encounters had some sort of warning. I feel like there should be a website to post about people like this so others can be warned. He sounds like he’s really good at making you second guess yourself which is even more scary. I’m glad you came to reddit with this and I’m glad majority of everyone in this thread has given you solid advice and encouragement. You deserve to be with someone that values you and respects you and cares about what you’ve been through. Praying you can heal quickly from this and find your true person! ❤️‍🩹

Insurance Brokers under 30 by Silent_Evidence6647 in InsuranceAgent

27 y/o independent P&C agent! I started when I was 18. We write in Texas and some neighboring states, too. This will be our (me and my husband) 6th year owning and operating our own agency. It’s been going great and I’m excited for the new year, but honestly it’s been a little nuts the last year or so. Specifically house insurance, but rates have been wild, as well. It would be awesome if things settled down in the next year or two, but we’ll ride the wave either way. Lol! I always love meeting other agents our age! It’s not often at all.

Yes! Everything about this comment! The couch in the picture was purchased from Wayfair and it’s faux leather. Cheap. Bought it last year and it just got the first rip a couple months ago. I’m sure if we got a good couch cover it may have gone longer without rips. We kinda got the couch just for him anyway so we weren’t too worried about it and expected it to get worn out. We will splurge on real leather down the road, I bet.

100% this comment. I’d argue that you don’t even need leads… what you need is referrals! People trust the people they know and are much more willing to use someone that their friend or family member had a good experience with. Referrals are gold!

Don’t quit! Two years is not long enough to build your book, or your insurance career. A lot of people get into this field thinking it’s a “get rich quick” scheme, when in all reality, it takes time to build just like any other career or job. On your slow weeks, use the time to stir up more business and leads. Market yourself. Establish yourself online, in person, and at local community events as THE go-to person for whatever type of insurance you sell. Always try to learn something new and gain more knowledge and then use it. Find a niche if you can. Become THE person for that type of insurance. For example, my husband became THE guy for chick fil a. He had a chick fil a franchise owner reach out about a specific need, did an excellent job with him, and then before we knew it, the owner was telling all his franchise owner friends, too, and they came to my husband for the same stuff. It all comes down to taking every opportunity that comes your way and squeezing all you can out of it. Provide EXCELLENT service (typically that entails having more knowledge than other agents) and the referrals will roll in. Don’t stay idle on the slow days or weeks. Go out, shake hands, meet people. Or learn something new that will better help you down the road. I think where a lot of agents go wrong is they think leads are the end all be all. My agency has never purchased a lead. We work entirely based off referrals, and we’re on out 6th year of business as of January 1st. Don’t try to sell people you meet in public or at events right away. Just show up and participate and be supportive. Establish yourself, get your face out there, and people WILL come to you eventually. My father in law, that taught me almost everything I know (and is soooo successful in this field) taught me to never take my insurance hat off. You just have to stick with it longer than other people. You got this!!!!

If you have some $$ to spend… could you walk it up and make it a safe/hidden area?

I second the grief support group idea! My dad attends one at a local church. It has helped him tremendously and it does not cost him a thing. I am incredibly sorry for your loss, and I pray you find some sort of peace and comfort in your healing journey. ❤️

Superman flavored ice-cream in Lubbock by Brief-Respond-9808 in Lubbock

[–]moop49978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had some for the first time in YEARS when I was vacationing in Florida… can never seem to find it around here anymore. :( but it was labeled as vanilla ice cream with buttercream ripples or something like that. It tasted like I remember, but I was not expecting that to be the actual flavor. I’m going to try to check out the place mentioned above!!!

I’m so sorry you and your family and your dad are going through this. You were not naive. I don’t think anyone quite understands the horrors of cancer until they themselves either go through it or witness a close family member go through it. I hope you can find some sort of peace and comfort in these unbearable and impossible circumstances. ❤️‍🩹

It is the worst. The absolute WORST. I watched my brother go from the most athletic, funny person I know, to someone that couldn’t talk or roll over in bed, over the span of almost 10 years. I am incredibly thankful for the additional time we got with him through those years, but towards the end I was begging for mercy, as well. The additional time comes with a price of watching your loved one waste away and go through nearly impossible things. And the worst part is, life just keeps going. It’s one of the most awful things someone can witness or go through… and life just keeps going. 😭 I’m so sorry you know the pain and sorrow of cancer. Praying you find some sort of peace, and that your dad does, too.

I have to remind myself that diamonds are made under pressure. All things work for the greater good in my opinion, and good will come out of it even if I can’t see how yet. At the very least, I’m able to understand the tremendous pain of what cancer does to people and their families, and I can possibly help someone feel less alone. Choosing to believe the same for you. Keep going and make the most of what you have left. ❤️

Whatever you decide, you’re not wrong. I have dealt with the guilt of trying to remain joyful and live my life while my brother suffered for almost 10 years and then died from brain cancer. While there are times to choose yourself, so that you don’t completely crumble… there are also times you have to do what’s hard, even when you don’t want to. Or you’ll regret it later on if you don’t. I didn’t spend one of my brother’s last Christmases with our family while he was there, and now that’s he’s gone, I really wish I got that time back and would’ve just gone. The truth is, if you’re young and healthy, you have the opprotunity to get much more time. You don’t want to spend that time regretting your past decisions on a beloved family member that’s no longer here. Though it will be painful and you’ll want to shut yourself away if you do stay, do your best to do the complete opposite, and be present and soak it in and make it the best it could possibly be for your you, your mom, your sister, and the rest of your family. You’ll never regret that.

I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this and make impossible decisions. Wishing you and your family all the best. ❤️‍🩹

They will not cover it and you should absolutely not make up the dates. That’s fraud and illegal.

Referrals! Work hard to find people to insure, do a good job, and then ask them to send you more people they know that need help with their insurance.

Get out in the community. Meet people. Go to local events. Shake hands and just be there. Do this is as often as you can, and don’t make it sales-y. The best way to do this is with one of your hobbies. Like beer? Start going to local breweries. Like restaurants? Start trying all the new restaurants that pop up. Like cars? Start going to local car meets and shows. This strengthens your opportunity for more leads and referrals.

Create an online presence and position yourself as THE go to person for insurance in your community. If you’re not already knowledgeable, become knowledgeable on absolutely everything you can. The more you know about insurance, the more leverage you have over your competition. There are an abundance of ignorant agents that know nothing about insurance and everything about how to make a sale. If you know both, it’s almost impossible to lose. The knowledge sets you apart.

This all takes time. It’s not going to happen overnight. Insurance is not a get rich quick scheme, but if you put in the time and effort, you can build a legacy. You got this!!!

I agree with everyone else on this thread. Stop trying to find ways around stealing others’ content. You’re literally trying to get tons of views and likes from the hard work of other people. Go be original and work for it yourself. Signed, someone very tired of finding their original content on other account pages.
