Isn't it funny how many cliches can be associated with insurance? I think when a couple of sayings and anecdotes were invented; the inventors had the term insurance in mind!
Have a look at a couple of the following sayings and tell me if you agree...
Nothing is certain, but death and taxes. This can be changed to - nothing is certain, but death and insurance. No matter who we are, what we do, how much money we have or which car we drive... we need insurance!
All is fair in love and war. Once again, this can be changed to "all is fair in love and insurance." Don't you agree that we are at the mercy of insurance companies? What they say is law and we have to just sign on the dotted line and accept the fact that we are paying tons of money each month on something that we do not really want. Do not accept the first quote that you are offered. Shop around until you find a policy that you are completely satisfied with. Do not allow any broker, agent or insurance company to force you into taking a policy that you are not happy with.
He has been taken for a ride - he has been taken for an insurance ride! It's unfortunate to hear how many insurance companies take their clients and customers for a ride. This is usually by means of not wanting to pay out a claim, increasing premiums drastically, or other matters that we have no control over. Always read the fine print before signing any insurance document. By having a good understanding of what your insurance policy entails, a lot of this can be prevented.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link - An insurance company is only as strong as its weakest link. When wanting to obtain insurance, make sure that you talk to an agent or a broker who knows what they are doing! The worst thing in the world is dealing with an insurance reseller who has only one thing on the mind and that is to meet their monthly sales targets. Insurance is a very important investment; therefore it is crucial that a qualified professional takes care of your needs and requirements.
A good beginning makes a good ending. Change this to "a good insurance company makes a good ending" and you will be one of the many individuals who are satisfied with the service received from their insurance companies. If a company offers outstanding service and handles queries and claims effortlessly, even a burglary or an accident can have a good ending.
After a storm comes a calm. If you can change this saying to "after an insurance claim, comes a calm" - congratulations! That means that you have recently put in a claim and that it was handled successfully, enabling you to relax after everything has been taken care of.
I hope you have enjoyed this tongue in the cheek look at insurance sayings - it might be a bit of useless information, but hopefully it managed to put a smile on your dial!
