How to say no to an insurance agent?

You are a terrific person. The mere fact you realize that the only irreplaceable thing we have is time - part of our life - speaks volumes. Others have said that "they are accustomed to it" are correct, but that does not mean that salespersons like to hear a "no". Here is how to get it done:
1. Until you have made a decision, when/if they call say, "I'm still gathering information. I'll call you back when I have made a decision." Don't engage in further discussion. You don't owe them any more of your time - they have had their chance at your business.
2. When you have decided, sign the papers with the salesperson who earned your business. Then DO call all the others and say, "I've signed papers for a plan that suits me better than what you proposed. Thank you very much for the time you invested with me." Once more, don't engage in further discussion. By doing it this way:you will strictly speak the truth, you will honor their time, you will preserve YOUR time.
