IRVING, Texas, Oct. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Allstate
Insurance Company is launching a recruitment campaign to appoint
100 new agency owners in Texas
this year. Allstate agency owners are also actively searching for
qualified candidates to fill more than 1200 sales professional
positions in agencies across the state.
Continued population growth and Texas economy are significant factors fueling
Allstate's agency growth strategy.
"Texas continues to see
population expansion in cities across the state, which presents
opportunities for small business owners to protect and serve
families in those communities," said David
Campbell, Allstate's Texas Strategic Deployment
Leader.
Allstate is seeking entrepreneurs with an enthusiasm to own* and
operate their own business in Texas and make an impact in their
community.
"Candidates don't need an insurance background. We'll provide
them with comprehensive education and the resources to help them
get off to a solid start," Campbell said. "They do need a strong
entrepreneurial drive and passion to help others and their
community. The ideal candidate wants to build a legacy they can
pass down for generations."
Allstate agency owner Eric
Douglas opened his agency in the Dallas/Fort Worth area one year ago and has
already seen tremendous success. Douglas has always been a small
business owner, but was drawn to Allstate because of the
opportunity for long-term stability it provides.
"Being an Allstate agent is the best opportunity for the
entrepreneur who, like me, needs structure but is willing to be
creative and take risks to grow their business," Eric Douglas said. "With the marketing and brand
support Allstate provides - the opportunities are limitless."
Texas Allstate Agency Owners Projected To Hire 1200 Sales
Professionals
Newly appointed Allstate agency owners, along
with current agents, could help generate 1200 additional jobs in
their communities across the state as they typically hire licensed
sales staff to help them run their small businesses.
Licensed sales professionals help Allstate agencies grow,
working side by side with agency owners to assist customers to help
them meet their insurance needs. That's why Allstate encourages
more than 1200 agency owners to hire top notch staff.
