Been gone for 3 weeks... helping my 80+ mother in Florida recover from a heart attack. I'm back in CA now and my mother is doing very well. I thank all of you for the many PMs I got expressing kind thoughts.
An agent friend of mine brought up an interesting point the other day. He looked at the car I drive and said "No one is going to buy financial products from you if you pull up to their home or office in THAT!"
I drive a (paid for) 2004 Honda Civic EX... clean, no dents, etc... not a junker. But it got me thinking. Do you think people REALLY judge you by what you drive (assuming you're not driving up in a beater)?
I can afford any car out there... but I'm practical, I'm not a "car guy," and the Civic fills my need to get from point A to B comfortably and economically.
All things being equal do you think agents should drive luxury cars? I notice that I NEVER see another agent (health, life, DI, whatever) driving a Honda Civic. Out here BMW is the vehicle of choice for agents, if you believe my unscientific study of the parking lot when some carrier is having a road-show.
Do you think high net-worth people really care what their agent drives (so long as it is clean and presentable)?
