What is Insurance Twisting?
Insurance twisting is when an agent convinces a
policyholder (Life Insurance, Health Insurance, Home Owners), to drop their existing policy and take out a new
policy that isn't in their best interests. Some agents earn
commissions on their policy sales, and could be motivated to
increase their commissions by selling someone a policy that they
don't need. Also other unethical practices to be aware of:
Churning & sliding. Learn how to protect yourself, signs of
unethical practices, what the law says, what to do if you think
you've been twisted.
