advice Farmers Insurance

[debshelp44]

mdavis38, you may want to start your own thread with that question and maybe do a search for work at home? I haven't seen anything promising in that regards if you want to be successful. I work from home already as an independent contractor selling insurance products over the phone, and not much money here. I'm OK because they will pay me by the hour, but its not enough to live on.

I am also talking to American Family -their training program is really extensive and the DM is only hiring a few people here so that would be a plus on my end. Farmer's has offered to train me, and then you go on from there. I'm trying to hold out to see if I'm offered the position with AmFam so I can make a real decision. Time keeps going by, though, and I need to start working full-time soon.

I would stay away from Farmers...they saturate the market with agents, give very little support, and then sit back to see who survives...Allstate is a little better. However, if you want the best, go with State Farm. The others don't hold a candle to them. Good luck.

What makes State Farm the best?

I o agree with you that Farmers appears to saturate markets with agents, but it also looks like Allstate and State Farm do the same thing regarding the number of agents in a given area.

I'm New To The Industry (less Than A Year), But Although My Marketing Practices Will Probally Lead Me To A Independt Agency After Researching Companies In My Area Farmers By Far Gave Me The Greatest Advantage Starting My Agency. I Jump In Head First With My Own Agency No Expeirence And Farmers Has Been Great To Me. But Its Just Like Shoes What I Love You May Hate. But There Is A Fit For You, You Just Have To Find What Fits You Best. Good Luck

In tx the market for farmers is indeed fairly saturated. In certain urban areas, anyhow. Certain rural areas are not. Here, they have recruited me many times to be a life agent first, working into maybe getting my P&C license then owning an agency. I think it's a great opportunity to own an agency, if you so desire. I did not take advantage of it -but it sounded good, the opportunity.
