Hi so I am currently in a Franchise contract till June and im in the process of selling out early.I am also in a partner ship for this one location. We will be doing our own thing after the sale so I have really been thinking about state farm but I would also really like to go independent.
If I go Independent:
I can have many carriers. If the price changes from an up rate, I could always look for another company that would satisfy their needs.
I would like to learn commercial, life and health and try to build my book with that.
I have 7 yrs experience in P&C and do not know if I should just do all of these.
I have about 3-5 carriers that will give me appointments to start off but to offer more companies I would need to find a good agregator or cluster.
Marketing will be key.
If I go State Farm:
I will start out with a decent subsidy to get through the first couple years. I hear they also have a great training program. I would have an advantage on marketing due to them being around for years. But I am sure I would have to produce certain numbers and still be under corporate eye.
Either way I go I will need a great marketing plan along with a solid business plan.
Let me know any opinions or advice I thank you in advance
