IRVING, Texas, July 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Allstate Insurance
agency owners across Texas are
planning to hire at least 350 licensed sales professionals by the
end of the year.
Licensed sales professionals play a pivotal role in driving
business for Allstate agencies in growing states like Texas. They work side by side with agency
owners, educating and assisting customers with their insurance
needs. That's why Allstate is encouraging its 1,000 plus agency
owners to continue to build their agencies by hiring top notch
staff.
Interested candidates should have exceptional selling and
customer service skills, a high school diploma and the ability to
obtain or begin the process of obtaining a Property and Casualty
license at the time of hiring.
"These positions present such a great opportunity for talented,
motivated people with strong communication and customer service
skills, who may not have a college degree," said Chris Draper, an Allstate agent in the
Houston area. "We encourage
interested candidates to not let the licensing process scare them
off. We emphasize it's a valuable commitment to make and an
opportunity to get a head start in a recession-proof industry."
Candidates can apply for licensed sales professional positions
by calling their local Allstate agency owner in Texas.
Candidates are interviewed and hired by Allstate exclusive
agents who are independent contractors for all purposes. Although
licensed sales professionals represent Allstate, they are employees
of the exclusive agent and not employed by Allstate Insurance
Company.
