Anyone else seeing a rise in cash quotes? Could be more and more customers can't afford high rates from their ins co's, and it seems I am seeing more out of area, or unknown's on the caller ID. It seems either tpa's and or ins co's are really fishin hard at cash quotes to see if they can justify even paying less than they already are. hmmm makes me wonder. our cash quotes are higher than what many networks are paying already. It gives us a good chance to explain the differences between cheap and quality though. And even our cash quotes does not discount from NAGS. Whats anyone else seeing?

We have seen the same. Anytime the Caller ID says OUT OF AREA, etc. we ask a few more questions of the customer, and explain our pricing tiers further if we feel the customer is not just a price checker.

But we have seen an large increase in CASH quotes and CASH jobs of late.

I think it is a Worldwide thing.

We are finding more people that are calling us for windscreens, who would normally be insured, have decided not to re-insure their cars. Due to economic pressures they have cut back.

Their salary has been eaten up by rising fuel prices, mortgage interest rates or rents. All the things you need have increased in price, all the things that are extras like big screen TVs are getting cheaper.

Hence the increase in people paying themselves for an un-planned event in their lives. The broken Windscreen.
