Okay, so I have been selling insurance for State Farm for 2 years now and I am good at it. I am not great, but I am good. I work for an owning agent, so I am just an employed producer.
So I was contacted by Farmers about becoming a Farmers agent. I have been planning on owning my own agency for a while but have not had the necessary start-up to do it with State Farm (they require that you start with an actual office and with a hired staff).
Farmers seems like they ease you into it by letting you start by selling from the district office and providing you with some leads (I will still have to genereate some of my own leads, which I'm not worried about). This sounds good, but I would like to hear from you all with experience.
