Job Description
Become a part of one of the largest and most-respected insurance brands in the country by becoming an agency manager with Farmers Insurance.
Farmers Insurance offers 3 different entry points designed for candidates of all backgrounds and skill sets:
1. Retail Agency Program - Step immediately into a branded retail location with a $10,000 office start up bonus, $5,000 in first year lead generation reimbursements, and an enhanced commission structure for the first 3 years. Similar to a franchise, this is a program that is designed for experienced business owners. Individuals with a history of sales and management experience may also be a great candidate for this program. Qualified applicants would need to provide proof of liquid assets. This program offers a significantly higher than average bonus structure to offset business expenses.
2. Agency Acquisition Program - You may also acquire an existing book of business and start with a residual income right away. Agents are eligible for a $10,000 office start up bonus and an enhanced commission structure for up to 3 years.
3. Seed Program - There are situations where an agent has to retire unexpectedly and has not had time to put a succession plan in place. In these situations, the books of business are transferred to qualified candidates. The candidate receives the benefit of immediate revenue without the cost of acquisition while Farmers preserves the existing location. The candidate will receive an existing book of business to service and cross sell as well as $10,000 in an office start-up bonus.
