obroc17 (42)   ranked 4,704 out of 12,080 in friend 2 years ago

I have an insurance agent friend who treat me in a nice restaurant for his purpose to offer me an insurance plan. At first, I told him I may not interested with because I'm afraid I can't afford but he insisted (knowing that I have a better job).So I spent a few hours with him listening various options and he gave me some terms and quotes and papers to take home. His proposal was good but I really don't want to join at this time (or let say I don't like to get an insurance plan). Now, how to politely say No to this helpful friend. Hope to hear your ideas guys... Thanks

Just tell him that though you appreciated the time he took to explain everything to you, you're simply not interested at this time. Its your money, so don't feel bad about just telling him you don't wish to take advantage of his proposals.

I also had encountered such a situation many times since i got my job. Because all of those proposals for an insurance policy are from my friends i was really in trouble that i cannot plainly avoid them. But after encountering more situations, i became experienced literally mastered in avoiding such insurance, money chain etc. I will give my time to let them explain their plans and patiently hears what he/she had to say. After that when they talks about taking an insurance coverage, i will humbly and softly says to them that sorry dear friend, but i had already 2 insurances from here and there and tells some of the other company names and speaks about their plans and says that i had taken this policy since past few months so i have no capacity for more investments otherwise if i did knew about your agency a few months before, surely and obviously i would be taking insurance from you only. Why didnt you told this to me a few months ago?

Lolz, now friend will almost be convinced and a few more talks to return him happily and leaving me myself happy. Folks, i am playing tricks not because i had any jealous towards my friend earning bucks, but because i may be having some other plans to purchase something and might be saving some money for that purpose. If i takes his insurance, then my whole monthly budgetting need to be recalculated and it will lead me into bottleneck situations at month ends. So, an easy escaping ;)

Just say straight no right way. The longer you hesitate to say it the more chances for him to assume he can win your yes. If you think there's no way he can convince you then then don't make him think your a potential client.


obroc17 (42)   ranked 4,704 out of 12,080 in friend  2 years ago

Thank you for you straight respond.. ;)
It may also save his time and mine too if I hesitate to say.

yes and lol.
i could imagine your situation. and as he is your friend it is really hard for you to deny.
but i think the straight no will not be good. you should pretend for something. that you need some time to invest as there are some other responsibilities on you and you are not in the state to share them.


obroc17 (42)   ranked 4,704 out of 12,080 in friend  2 years ago

I think also...saying straight NO will not be good especially he is my friend. Yes, this thing.. "I have some other responsibilities". Thanks. Nice idea

LoL. I don't think i'll say no to insurance if i don't have any yet.. :) I view it as something very important next to health care insurance. :) My whole family benefits from it especially our mum who goes in and out of the hospital every now and then. But then again, why not tell your friend that you will consider his offer and let him know if you've decided to take the offer. :)

Happy mylotting.


obroc17 (42)   ranked 4,704 out of 12,080 in friend  2 years ago

Yeah i know how important insurance is. Seeing the benefits really attracted me. But at this rate I mean my status I think this not yet the right time to get it.
Thank you for your comment. Happy mylotting too.


myLot reputation of 89/100. snowdoll487 (2965)  2 years ago

LoL. With your circumstances then explain to your friend your situation. You don't want to tarnish your friendship with him just because you're delayed with payment and he gets pissed off because of it. :) Tell him you value your friendship with him so as not to risk it by committing into getting an insurance you are not sure you'll be able to afford. :)

I think it is very difficult to say "NO" to a insurance friends.. because what he feels after saying by us no.. so i think.. if you are not interested in any insurance policy then you say "NO freely.. because it is question of your money..and if you say yes.. in any hesitation or by any pressure.. then after that you can face some problem with your policy.. so if you are not interested then say no.. without any hesitations.. have a nice day and keep mylotting always..happy

I think your being closed-minded in the insurance offered by your friend. Just try to think of the advantages and disadvantages of getting an insurance.If you really think that it is better to not get an insurance, just tell him that you are not interested in getting an insurance and try to refer some other friends that may be interested.

Well, easy, join the letter N and the letter O and say the magical word: NO.
I mean, if it's your friend, he won't force you into an insurance plan as if you were a customer, but he will treat you as a friend, and he won't be offended if you don't want to be a customer, so don't hesitate and tell him the truth happy
