What makes a good insurance agent?

What is a good example of a good agent? How to choose a good agent who is knowledgeable and provides good customer service? My current Pru agent is unresponsive. I didn't expect much from her, answering my questions is the bare minimum she can do, yet she fails to do that.

Currently finding a good agent to manage my Prudential policies and might be keen to do a portfolio review on my current policies too with Pru or other companies.

Any recommendations?

A good insurance agent has to have the following three I's:

Intensity
Integrity
Intelligence

Oh, it's true, it's damn true!

There are many factors you might be looking at in a good agent

responsive
knowledgeable
service-oriented/customer-oriented
ethnical and honesty
good camaraderie with the agent

It also does not stop you from having a few agents working for you as each might have their own speciality. Some might be good at insurance, some might be good in the investment area.

There is no answer for you.

Agents are not legally obligated to service you. Their role is just to sell insurance products.

Whether they answer your questions or provide customer service is totally up to them, beyond your control.

Best to take charge of your insurance plans and learn how to DIY your claims.

I am looking to buy a WL, Term and CI insurance for myself and a WL and Hospitalization insurance for my son. What would be reasonable to ask from the agent, given the decent commission he will make?

Am retired. Had bought CI/TI insurance while I was younger, now that we have pretty good coverage under MediShield Life, is CI/TI insurance still make sense? Thought I should save on premium expenses.?

Singlife insurance savings plan states it's an insurance savings plan that credits interest, offers flexibility to make top-ups and withdrawals with no lock-in and charges. Sounds too good to be true?
