I am currently a State Farm Agent, I however am not the owner of the Agency and work under another Agent.
I am the top producer in the office and usually write about 30 new policies a month, but since I am not the agency owner I see very little of the commission. (The majority being hispanic customers)
I am also hispanic and fluent in Spanish and have to turn away lots of customers who don't have Drivers Licenses.
I am looking to start my own Agency and get appointments with Carriers who accept drivers without DL's and what not. I don't think I will have much of a problem getting these appointments.
I also want to have a top provider, I know I can't have a independent agency with State Farm and after researching I'm thinking I want to work with Safeco, they seem to have reasonable commissions and also hear good things.
The question is, could I get an appointment? I've heard it's hard to get appointment with them and I would have a blank book. I however have lots of positives, there are no hispanic Safeco insurance representatives in my area and the vast majority of my customers come see me and look for me. I get tons of referrals.
Also I would be looking for other insurance product to offer.
BTW I am looking for direct appointments I am not looking to joint a group.
Thanks
