Allstate Provides Opportunities to Reinvent Your Career as an
Entrepreneur SALT LAKE CITY, May 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- With
Utah facing a 5.4 percent unemployment rate and the average work
week dropping to a record low of 33.2 hours, current economic
conditions may discourage entrepreneurs from starting a business in
a trying environment. However, many entrepreneurial success stories
were launched in bad economic times, and starting a business now
may be a unique opportunity to take control of your own career by
opening an Allstate agency. Allstate (NYSE:ALL), the nation's
largest publicly held personal lines insurer, has launched a
recruitment campaign in Utah to attract successful, self-motivated
entrepreneurs for a career as an Allstate Exclusive Agent. Unlike
typical entrepreneurships, Allstate provides its new agents
essential tools and resources to help them get off to a great
start, including insurance product education, expertise from sales
leaders, customizable marketing and advertising materials and
performance incentives. "The economic downturn is fueling business
professionals from all career levels to seek out second career
choices," said Gerald Salas, human resources manager, Allstate
Insurance Company. "As an agency owner, you are on your own but not
alone. If you don't have an insurance background, we will provide
you with insurance education to help you hit the ground running. In
addition, our agents have the independence to run their own agency,
hire and manage their own staff, and set their own direction while
receiving support from one of the largest insurance companies in
the country," Salas said. Allstate says agents will have the
opportunity to sell the company's wide range of insurance and
financial products, including auto, property and financial
services. Ideal candidates should have the skills to run their own
business and the drive to meet business objectives. Allstate says
its agency expansion plan is part of an overall growth strategy
that calls for growing the provider's auto and property insurance
presence statewide and staking a stronger claim in financial
services. Interested candidates can apply to become an Allstate
