My beef with this is it makes good agents look bad, and when you meet with prospects and see some crazy rate like that will wonder why my rates can't even come close to that, doesn't help to start off on the right foot.
Only if you LET it make you "look bad".
Always offer to take a look at any offer like that... because there is ALWAYS more to the story... such as the rating of the company.
You started a thread about EquiTrust a while back. And if they weren't a B-rated carrier, I'd be all over that product. I can't find it right for myself, so I can't recommend it to others. But other companies with lower than A- ratings will have specials in order to attract more dollars. But is it worth the risk for them and you?
Talk about how you do your "due diligence". You're always happy to look at anything, but that doesn't mean you feel right about offering "everything under the sun" to your clients.
