ATLANTA, May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Allstate Insurance Company
appointed 38 new exclusive agents in Georgia last year. Now, the company is ramping
up its recruiting again – looking for 56 more Georgia agency owners this year.
Allstate plans to achieve that goal by focusing on professionals
that may feel limited in their careers and are looking to start
their own business in a recession resilient industry.
"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 Georgia," said Allstate Assistant Field Vice
President John O'Donnell. "We're working with business brokers and
through our own recruiters to find professionals with financial or
sales backgrounds, who are dedicated to customer service."
Candidates need a minimum of $50,000 of liquid capital to invest in their
agency. Even with the hints of an economic recovery underway, some
potential applicants are unsure if now is the right time to invest
money needed to open a small business. That's why recruiters
are focusing on the stability of investing in the Allstate
brand.
"Allstate is unique among all other insurers because its agents
own the economic interest in their business," said O'Donnell.
"Allstate agents can sell the economic interest in their agency. No
other branded insurer has this option."
This aggressive recruiting strategy is part of Allstate's
broader strategy to increase the number of customer service points
across the non-coastal areas of the Peach state, and to
aggressively expand the provider's auto insurance presence
statewide, while staking a stronger claim in items like boats,
recreational all-terrain-vehicles and motorcycles.
Interested candidates can apply to become an Allstate agent by
logging on to allstate.com or by calling 1-877-711-1006.
