The Dreaded Holiday Push-Off

It's that time of year again! Everyone is in full holiday prep-mode (myself included) and people are flocking to the malls to buy presents, look for great deals, get decorations and everything else folks seem to do around this time of year.

Do you know the one thing people DON'T want to do?

Talk about insurance!

Ah yes, the dreaded 1.5 month window between Thanksgiving and the end of the year: every insurance guy or gal's worst nightmare. The refrain we hear over and over? "Call me after the 1st."

Now admittedly, I can get a little bit focused on the holidays as well, but don't people generally like saving money around this time of year? That's what we're trying to do here, folks! In all seriousness, I'm not at all offended that people would want to wait until January. I might even push some things out until that time of year too. But does EVERYONE have to do it?

So if you'd like to make your friendly neighborhood insurance advisor a happy person, make their January a little less crazy. Put down the Christmas lights and ornaments for a few minutes and finish up some business sooner than later. Trust me, it will be appreciated!
