I'm a logical/analytical thinker and I found myself nodding along to this, good stuff. I would think the FE crowd you work is above what OP is working.
To OP, JD probably hit the nail on the head, when he said they are not interested. The only other thing I can think of is the premium is not comfortable for them. Most people don't fuss about things they can easily afford.
I tend to math things out as well. And market seem to be the key as these guys are saying.
I wrote 2 FE and two child apps in a home yesterday and an FE in another. First house was a small house with a three women plus kids that could have all been related to Honey Boo Boo. 4 apps and a total premium of a bout $60. _Total for all four policies_ easy speasy and I could have talked them into anything. Had to talk them down some. The second house a couple buys a policy on the father in law. Large nice home, probably in the high threes. That woman was nice but wanted to see my ID, How long I have been in business and so on. Then she got on the the cost ($278) as if I could negotiate the rate and it being. All of this was in Spanish. It all worked out I got the app and am quoting the husband and Med School child but I had to work for it. I think the more they can afford something the harder they fight sometimes.
