ASU 67, I'm starting the SF Agent Training Process. I came on this forum looking for an example of the Autobiography I have to write. As an experienced State Farm Agent, what advice would you give a "newbie"? Haven't been called that since I joined the Army in 1987.
Not a company man. An agent near Charlotte. Age 67. Was an agent 14 years then agency manager then AFE then back to agency for last 10 years. It's been a great ride however the market conditions have changed with more competitive conditions and it is much more difficult for an agent to be successful now than it was 36 years ago. The business model today is much different and everyone is not going to be successful due to varying skill levels of new agents. I have observed some new agents blowing others out of the water while others sink. My observation is that just like all other "store front" businesses some make it and some don't. Is State Farm perfect? No! Because people are not perfect. Is life fair? No! When I came back to agency I did not get a big book of business like others. Did it bother me at the time? Yes however I was grateful as I do not know many companies that would have done the same thing and allowed retiring AFEs to rejoin the company in personal production. I can only do things that affect my future and everyday when I wake up I count my blessings.
