TEMPE, Ariz., Jan. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Allstate
Insurance Company announced a boost to its sales force in the
Southwest Region on the heels of State Farm's recent layoff
announcement for their two Tacoma,
Washington locations.
By hiring 800 employees, Allstate looks to keep pace with
growing consumer demand for insurance and financial products and
services in the region.
"We are seeing increased consumer demand for auto and home
insurance as well as financial advice and planning," says
Allstate's Regional Sales Leader Brent
Wise. "We are seeking qualified professionals and offering
comprehensive training and resources to support the success for
each of them."
For the agency owner and financial specialist opportunities,
Allstate is looking for people with a strong entrepreneurial drive
and passion to help others in their community. These candidates
embrace risks and challenges and can invest in a small business to
ensure its stability and growth.
The addition of the new agency locations will have a compounding
effect on each city's job market, as each new agency opens with
several employees to ensure customers are well-served with courtesy
and efficiency.
To recruit more agency owners, Allstate is offering a
$6,000 award to anyone who refers an
eligible candidate to Allstate in the Southwest Region. The
referral award is payable after the candidate has completed 90 days
of Allstate agency ownership.
"Allstate is a trusted brand and an excellent wealth-building
opportunity for a small business owner. We are unique among all
other insurers because the agent owns the economic interest in
their business," says Wise. "Allstate agents can sell the economic
interest in their agency or pass the business they build on to a
family member."
Candidates interested in becoming an Allstate agency owner will
need capital to invest in their agency to help ensure they can
successfully fund the normal day-to-day costs associated with
opening and running a small business. Sales professionals need no
liquid capital to apply for jobs within an agency.
