Prudential Insurance

We searched for a prudential insurance agent via their website, and eventually got ahold of a local female agent. The term rates were average but the agent seemed frustrated and argumentative. I think English was her second language, so we had a hard time communicating. She quoted us the monthly premium and did not want to send us information, but pressed us for an in office appointment.

The second agent we talked seemed a lot more knowledgable and helpful. He quoted us the annual premium, $275 per year for a 15 year term life policy with a $500,000 death benefit (a preferred 35 year old non smoker). For $360, we could have gotten the policy, with a waiver of premium benefit. To qualify for Prudential's waiver of premium benefit, you have to have a permanent disability for 6 months, minimum.

He also informed us we could convert the term policy to whole life in next 5 years, without a medical exam. He had been with Prudential for 10 years but had not heard about the churning issue. He takes the claim checks beneficiaries after I'd die, in case they wanted to invest with Prudential. He was also a premier agent that was allowed to get other policies outside of Prudential if they didn't have the best price and terms, however, we were only quoted Prudential products. He did recommenced I shop around with Met Life, NY life and other competitors.
