Just like insurance, lightbulbs are very easily replaceable in person but much more difficult over the phone.

But as old school agents, don't trust, new inventions like lightbulbs. We use sunlight. Why pay money for unreliable lightbulb technology when we get the sunlight for free? And it never needs changing.

Do the "old school agents" add up their commissions writing on a shovel with a piece of chalk by firelight?
