The Freedom of Owning Your Own
Business
With World Class Support
Ø
Compared to popular name-brand
franchises, the Allstate
Exclusive Agency opportunity
has less capitalization
requirement, no net-worth
requirement, no mandatory
investment or investment
schedule (i.e. inventory,
advertising, equipment) and
other things that franchises
require. You will incur
some expenses at start-up,
such as a commercial lease,
incidental expenses during
training, etc.
Ø
We offer state-of-the-art
support in terms of processes,
people and financial
assistance. You will access to
round-the-clock support of a
business consultant with
experience in all aspects of
running a business, at
absolutely no cost to you. Our
state-of-the-art turnkey team
will set up your office to
your specifications while you
are in training. You will have
a great computer with a
state-of-the-art marketing and
rating platform, and a 24x7
service team to support your
customers.
Ø
Our slogan, “You’re in Good
Hands with Allstate,” is the
most recognizable in America.
Ø
The timing is right for
bringing insurance and
financial services under one
roof. Our research shows that
consumers not only think the
two belong together, but they
appreciate one stop shopping.
Additionally, over the next 7
years, the number of
households that will seek the
advice of a financial
professional is expected to
grow 6-fold. Allstate has
recently unveiled this new
business model, and we’re
committed to becoming a major
financial services competitor.
Ø
Our portfolio is tremendous:
P&C, non-standard auto,
commercial, workplace
benefits, supplemental
“AFLAC”-type products (our
product line competes with
AFLAC very well in terms of
price and product features),
banking products, and one of
the largest financial product
portfolios anywhere.
Ø
Did you know that in the
insurance industry, on
average, 10% of the insurance
premiums that you pay to your
agent go into their pocket?
And every time you renew your
policy it’s the same thing.
And so it is with Allstate.
However, we usually start out
our new business owners at 55%
commission, and our payouts on
financial services products
can be even greater. In fact,
our life insurance, mutual
funds and annuity payouts are
generally 15-25% higher than
other financial services
companies. This has helped us
to attract some of the best
financial representatives in
the industry, to work with our
newer agency owners if needed.
We don’t mind paying more
commission on financial
products because it is helping
us to become a dominant player
in that market.
Ø
Our commitment is to outspend
our competitors in
advertising. So, you will see
more Allstate commercials on
TV or in the newspapers and
magazines than you will State
Farm or Nationwide, etc.
Ø
Agency Support Staff
Recruiting Services: This is
one more way we support our
business owners like no other
national brand or franchise.
Allstate seeks, finds,
qualifies and presents
candidates to our agency
owners for employment
consideration. Once a hiring
decision is made, we’ll help
train them for you, too.
Ø
Licensed support staff
workshops are offered to
enhance their product
knowledge and marketing
skills, at no cost.
Ø
Agency Business Services
website: consumer website
details the litany of services
available.
Ø
Allstate is maintaining its
emphasis on being the easiest
insurance company for
consumers to do business with,
to help drive customer
satisfaction, retention, and
revenue to our business
owners. Our policy of open
communication with our
business owners has helped us
to implement a process of
constant improvement.
Ø
Allstate enjoys a high degree
of flexibility and market
responsiveness, for a company
of our size. We can adapt to
unique market conditions and
competitive pressures in ways
that other companies cannot.
Ø
We’re not looking for
“agents.” We’re looking for
someone who wants to market
the entire breadth and depth
of our tremendous product
line, and create a business
that could be worth 7 figures
when they’re ready to sell and
retire from their relationship
with Allstate.
