ENGLEWOOD, Colo., April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Allstate
today announced it will appoint six new agency owners in
Iowa this year. For jobseekers
intent on a new career in 2015, a role as an Allstate Agent offers
the rare opportunity for individuals to own their own business
while being aligned with a nationally recognized brand.
The expansion effort is expected to create at least 18 jobs in
Iowa, including support
staff. Each agent is required to have two support staff to
help make sure customers are treated with efficiency and
courtesy.
Though anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit is welcome to
apply, Allstate is looking for people with sales, customer-service
and management experience to operate agencies across the state.
"With the marketplace as strong as it is, we see this as a great
opportunity to invest further in Iowa," said Gary
Chitwood, Allstate's West Central Region's strategic
deployment leader. "Our local field sales leaders and recruiters
are seeking professionals with an entrepreneurial spirit, looking
to own and operate their own business with the support and guidance
of the Allstate brand."
"Allstate not only has a spectacular brand and exceptional
support staff to train and champion new exclusive agents, Allstate
is unique among most other insurers because its agents own the
economic interest in their business," continued Chitwood.
"Allstate agents have the option to sell the economic interest in
their agency."
To help with recruiting, Allstate is offering up to $5,000 to people who refer a qualified candidate.
The award is payable upon the appointment of the candidate as an
Allstate agency owner. To find out more about the opportunity
or to refer a candidate, people should call (866)578-6362, visit
