Allstate to Open 10 Agencies in East Texas This Year
Offering $1,000 Award for Referring Successful New Agency Owner Candidates
TYLER, TX, February 24, 2012—Allstate Insurance Company plans to open 10 agencies in the East Texas area this year. The company’s goal is to open 100 agencies statewide in 2012.
Allstate is looking for sales-driven, customer-service oriented professionals with management experience to own and operate the agencies. These new agency owners could generate additional jobs in their communities around East Texas as they will need to hire licensed sales staff to help them run their small businesses.
$1,000 Referral Award
Allstate is now offering a $1,000 award to people who refer a candidate who is successfully appointed as an agency owner in Texas this year.
“We’re looking for your coworkers and acquaintances that have an entrepreneurial spirit, are solution oriented and have a drive to succeed,” said Tom Caunitz, Allstate’s Texas Strategic Deployment Leader said.
Interested candidates need a minimum of $50,000 of liquid capital to invest in their agency. This money does not go to Allstate; it’s to help ensure the agency can successfully fund the normal day to day costs associated with opening and running a business.
“The advantage of investing in Allstate is agency owners are able to leverage one of Texas’ most recognized brands without ever having to pay a franchise or licensing fee,” Caunitz said. “The capital invested in the business will go directly toward the success of that agency.”
