I met the owner late last spring of this agency and decided to stop in. I ve had my personal accounts and my businesses with the same agency in Monroe for the past 16 years and because of how poorly a minor claim was handled, decided to shop around. A few weeks or so back I went in hoping to see the same gentlemen that I met but instead was greeted by a young girl who was slumped over her computer looking less than thrilled to see me come in (perhaps because it was near closing time)? She appeared to be the only one in the office, so instead of letting it be a wasted trip decided to at least get an idea of an auto rate. She took my information and went back to her desk. As she asked me further personal questions her demeanor was one of boredom and dare I say annoyance. I know this because I have a teen daughter around her age, so I m quite an expert on this matter. Her response to a question I had was HUH ? When I repeated myself she said yea, I know . Her mood became quite pleasant, however, when she thought there was a chance I might be purchasing the policy.
I told this story of my experience at a recent holiday gathering because a discussion was sparked about customer service and how businesses have forgotten how important it is. I don t like to discuss business with someone who is so young, but even more so someone who is so condascending.
I will add that my father in law was insured with Boss up until his death and was very pleased with the agency. read more
