“I was working as a part of a support team for an insurance

agency for years and had a great feel for the business.

I always knew I wanted to have my own business. Once

I looked around, I realized that the only opportunity for me

was the Allstate Exclusive Agent opportunity. It gave me

a chance to have my own business, make my own money,

and offer a wonderful array of insurance and financial

products from Allstate.”

“My decision to purchase an agency a few years ago

has proven to be the best decision I have ever made.

Coming in the door as a new small business owner

and having the Allstate name to stand behind gives

me instant credibility. The Allstate product options

offered me what I needed to succeed.”

Being the boss means your business is

your baby – you determine how it grows.

Allstate’s Exclusive Agency Program

provides you with a unique entrepreneurial

opportunity. It’s not a franchise. There

are no royalties or sign-on fees. But you

get many of the same benefits of a franchise,

including the support and expertise of one

of the country’s most established insurance

companies.

* Economic interest may be sold to Allstate-approved buyer only.

There are two ways to become an Allstate Exclusive Agent:

■ Build your own agency from the ground up

■ Purchase an existing agency

Either way, as an independent contractor, you’ll choose your own office location and hire your own staff. You’ll also build a book of business in which you have an economic interest.*

Where you’re the boss.

Drive your business as a team

Allstate offers you the

opportunity to team up with

a Personal Financial

Representative, a specialist

in life, savings and

financial products. There

are plenty of good reasons

to do this, including:

■ More revenue and economic value for your agency through cross-selling property and casualty with financial services

■ Better business retention as your customers begin to call onyour agency for a wide range of insurance and financial products

■ More experience in financial services, sales and marketing

You can free up your time to develop other parts of your business.The only thing required of you is ongoing communication and amutual understanding of goals. Remember, it’s your business. Thechoice is yours. Team up with a Personal Financial Representative or run the show yourself.

or on your own.“Teaming up with a Personal Financial Representative

absolutely enhances the retention of the customer,

which obviously means more commissions for the agent.

It’s just the fact that you know your customer very well.

You know what his family needs are. And that’s our job –

to have that customer plan for his kids’ college, plan

for retirement.”
