I was expecting another call, so I dropped what I was doing and rushed to the phone, rather than screening it like I normally would do. The other call was completely forgotten by me when your agent tried to upsell my current car insurance (which is due for renewal in a fortnight) into a complete home and contents, CTP and comprehensive insurance triumvirate for a discount of up to fifteen percent!<\/p>\n<p>The resulting irritation from your call motivated me to do something I was going to postpone to until next year &#8211; to ring around and get quotes from your competitors, rather than complacently renewing with my current provider (i.e. you, GIO).<\/p>\n<p>The result was a <em>fifty percent<\/em> reduction in premiums now that I am with one of your competitors, with a policy more closely matched to my needs.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again, GIO.
