6. Chardon, OH. I am looking at taking over an existing State Farm agents office and book of business. Current book would be about 1.8 million which is $180,000 in residuals. It looks like an awesome situation, but I know there has to be a downside, what is it? Feb 1, 2011.
2,331. Mill Valley, CA. Most of the Captive Insurance Agencies are massively bound by corporate rules when marketing. It is one of the main reasons that the agencies buy into the "group advertisement" programs = because they can just pay money and be in compliance. Saying no to a newsletter is interesting though.
A little late to the game, but thought I would reply. State Farm corporate made a decision a number of years back to eliminate agent staff from our group health benefits. Since then few agents can afford to offer benefits to staff. Nov 27, 2018. #5.
State Farm team members are not considered State Farm employees - consequently, State Farm does not have a non-compete. Is it possible that your State Farm agent could have had you sign a non-compete? I suppose, but they would probably have a difficult time enforcing it. I wouldn't plan on soliciting existing clients - plenty of fish in the sea.
Most likely it's a w2, but it's a w2 from the AGENT, not from State Farm. So you'd be getting paid by the Steve Smith Agency and work for the Steve Smith Agency, not State Farm.

34. Hey guys, I was a State Farm agent team member in the Midwest for 6 yrs and my appointment was recently “terminated for cause” back in April 2020. I was a top sales, usually #1 or #2 guy and team member hall of fame for 5 of those 6 yrs. The agency was audited and it looks like I pulled a lot of MVRs/consumer reports from my yrs there ...
Goosehead is a sales-only model. 5. State Farm's marketing strategies heavily focus on price driven clients (internet leads/mailers/seo) and have agents spending high amounts on marketing annually with a high lapsecan. This and the high cost of staffing causes a lot of agents to go in debt.
1. Their base commission on auto & fire is 8% and can go up to 11% based on their variable bonus structure. 2. Life and health commissions and commissions on loans are much lower than industry standards; however, they do impact the bonus for both the auto & fire payouts as well as annual bonuses.
5. California. dales769 said: Ok, State Farm will try to get you to go so in debt that they really own you. Farmers computer system is not intuitive at all and can drive you crazy trying to quote and close business. Also, you are dealing with companies that. don't allow you to place business elsewhere.
State Farm is the most difficult appointment to get - extreme requirements, so good job done! I know many very happy veteran State Farm agents, but I do know they use to be happier. Just like the rest, the captive Carriers no longer care about the agent - they care about your numbers, period. 22 years captive AMFAM guy here. 6.5 years Indy now.
