Heh. I called Farmer's yesterday to cancel my car insurance with them after paying for 6 months worth of Progressive. I've known my agents at that Farmers office for years. The conversation went like this....
Me-"Yeah, I'd like to go ahead and cancel my insurance."
Him-"Why? Did something change for you?"
Me-"Yes, I was quoted a rate considerably lower than yours for the same coverage."
Him-"Really? I wish you would have called before doing this. I may have been able to match them."
Me-"Well, I don't know, they had a great rate for me."
Him-"You'd be surprised at what we might have been able to do for you. I can still check if you'd like."
Me-"Well, let me ask you this. If you can do such miracles with my rate, why are you waiting until now to tell me?"
Him-"Well, uh, you see....Well how much did they quote you?"
Me-"Less than HALF of what I'm currently paying you. And once that accident rolls off in February, it'll drop even further."
Him-"Well, hmmm, yeah, I don't think we're going to be able to match that, but you need to consider the service we provide."
Me-"I have, and you've been great, but when I find out that I'm over paying twice as much as I need two, that factors in to my current situation."
Him-"Well we're sorry to see you go."
Poor bastard. First he loses my business from the business insurance, then the homeowner's, and now the car. He was banking on me, but the bank of me is now closed.....Ha!
