I wanted to thank all of you for your tips and yes I am with Allstate.
big blue wants me to sell standard auto all day long. of the car dealers, should I concentrate on used or new? am I going to be able to compete with a independent?
also, should I start thinking about opening up a small independent to write what can not be written by allstate? there is a company name Integra insurance services offering agency patterning opportunities. I would love to get your feedback on this company or something similar.
again, thank you in advance.
I am sure your contract with Allstate will not allow you to sell anyother carriers, hence the term captive. Read carefully before doing so or you can lose your contract with Allstate.
