Probably the most frustating/annoying thing I ever come across in the field is the kids that are way over-protective of their parents, and these seniors that can't make a decision on their own and allow their kids to run their lives.
I just lost a deal because this lady has a son in Missouri, that used to sell Medicare supplements. (apparantly he dont anymore, now he works for some unnamed tax firm). And he wont let his mom make a decision about anything. He told her to only go with Plan F, G or N. i agreed that plan N would be a great choice for her. Even explained how with UHC, she could upgrade to a pland F, later GI, if she dont like plan N, or her health goes down hill. She loved the idea of it.
But every step of the way, she had to consult with her son. And he kept telling her not to do anything. (I never could get a legit reason why not.) I even asked to speak to him on the phone. He refused to talk to me, every time.
This poor lady is so stressed out, because her son has her so scared that "making the wrong decision could have dire consequences". Now, she is going to wait for her son, who lives half way across the country, to enroll her online in a plan.
Some people need to grow up, put their kids in their place.
