MERGER MORATORIUM I DON'T REMEMBER READING ABOUT THIS IN MY CONTRACT PLEASE READ AND RESPOND WITH LIKE STORIES
Posted by GO23 on May 22, 2012 at 11:35pm 7 Comments 0 Likes
Hello other Allstate agents....FYI...I have a quick question... Have you ever had an email from an Allstate employee informing you (a seller) and another agent (a buyer) that your merger was approved? And then a few days later have someone else from Allstate tell you ...."Wait, sorry not so fast....your merger is not approved?" I have....happened to me today. I won't get into all the background info. Bottom line, it appears that the company is not allowing agents to sell to inside…

I get this question a lot and we used to offer a service setting these up for agents. I thought instead I would just share exactly how to do it so you or someone in your office can set it up yourself!
So if you want a Get A Quote or Refer A Friend tab on your page, click here for the video and instructions on my blog. (I also chose only services to demonstrate that are free so it won't cost you anything.) Plus, I've got a few button graphics you can download and install…

The death of internet leads for insurance agents
Posted by Michael Jans on May 18, 2012 at 3:00pm 5 Comments 5 Likes
93% of agents are either reporting:
- lousy lead flow from their website, OR,
- a steady DECLINE in their lead flow from their site.
WHY the decline?
- 50% of searches will be on mobile devices by 2013
- 900,000 mobile phones activated every day!
- 35% read smart phone before they get out of bed!
- 43% would rather give up BEER than their smartphone(!).
- 11% SCREAM at their smart phone when…

Vegas Message: Fact or Fiction

So the message from TC in Vegas seemed to come accross as all positive news. All the right things were said and of course the actions will speak louder than words. Well, I was told today by a Sales Leader that the message to them on the local Regional level was to "Forget what you were told in Vegas"...That the Region will operate on a market level and what Home Office thinks what is best, is not always what is best for the Region. Sales Leaders were told that "at this time, they must act…
