He did not have to pay out a deductible and we did not file a claim. Say what you will, but it makes since to have ERAC cover a car if the customer is only going to be in it for a couple of days. The other two cars that were damaged in the last two weeks had no protection on it from ERAC. I collected a 250 and 1,000 deductible. I will agree that you should not push a customer into buying anything if he/she disagrees. However, to say that we are lying is rediculous. You obviously do not see the value in what we offer or understand how the back end of the business is run and it is a shame that you work for this company. |
Lets say you were married with kids and you had a life insurance policy because incase anything happened to you, you wanted to make sure your family will be finicially safe. If you got on a plan and they offerred you "additional" protection because somtimes accidents happen, and will usually lead to death. What would you say? You buy insurance to protect you from death. Additional is just additional charges.
P.S.
Thanks for the story about the three acidents, but realize Andy and ERAC don't offer the insurance to be nice, they make money on it. So yes it may save someone $500, but it costs everyone else buying it millions each year.
