RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif.,
May 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Allstate Insurance Company is actively seeking eager California business people to become new
exclusive agents in the state.
Successful entrepreneurs, and professionals who may face limited
advancement in their current careers and wish instead to run their
own business, are ideal candidates for owning an Allstate
agency.
"We see a significant opportunity in the current economy to
attract mid-career, mid-level managers to own and operate their own
business and represent Allstate in California," said Allstate Sales Deployment
Leader William Vazquez. "Through our
own recruiters we're seeking professionals with financial or sales
backgrounds who are dedicated to delivering Allstate's Good Hands
Promise to current and future customers."
Candidates need a minimum of $50,000 of liquid capital to invest in their
agency.
The stability of the Allstate brand and the equity interest that
agents will own in their business makes running an Allstate agency
more financially secure than other insurance agencies, small
business start-ups or franchise opportunities.
"Allstate is unique among all other insurers because its agents
own the economic interest in their business," according to Vasquez.
"Allstate agents can grow the economic interest in their agency and
eventually sell that interest if they choose. No other branded
insurer has this option."
Allstate's statewide focus represents key consumer touch points
in the broader strategy to expand its auto insurance presence in
California, while strengthening
its service insuring other popular vehicles like boats, motorcycles
and recreational all-terrain vehicles. Allstate is currently
California's third-largest auto
insurer with more than 2 million cars and trucks insured. Allstate
agents and their licensed staff account for thousands of
California jobs.
