I've done independent life sales for a while independently. I've loved the ability to chose from a variety of companies to be very competitive. I have always wanted to have a full-service agency where I can offer everything.
I have no P&C experience whatsoever. My only experience is life sales and investments. But I want to diversify and offer other products. Ideally, I would like to have the ability to give discounts for having multiple lines - life, homeowners, auto, etc... It is my belief that this can also increase my persistency.
So I have evaluated serveral of the major agencies and I have decided on Farmers. To me, it seems to have one of the best programs for the motivated entrepreneur. If anything, it can give me some solid P&C experience, should I choose to move back to become independent.
I know that there is more money (many times) in being independent, but without a support system and mentoring, it's pointless. Again, with no P&C experience, I will certainly need the support. I may find that Farmers doesn't mesh with me, but if anything, I can use this to learn.
And I love the fact that they don't sell health! That's the last product that I would ever want to sell.
Any thoughts on Farmers (other than telling me to stay independent)?
