Invasive?!? I sell in MD, DC, VA with 8 other Erie agencies in my city I don't step on toes I dance on them it's business right?
I guess each branch office is different. I heard in the south and midwest with Erie and Auto Owners it's game over. I'm sure you will be fine regardless.
I used to spank Erie with Kemper until Kemper got retarded with rate increases. Now they can't beat Erie on older, more established accounts but they can be okay vs newer Erie accounts. Auto-Owners I don't believe offers the products I need for homeowners. I don't do a lot in commercial yet.
Auto-Owners is supposed to be dominating in SC, though. Perhaps I'll just do a book roll to Erie first and see what they have to say about it.
