A Letter from a potential Farmers Agent:
Very Concerned About What I Am Reading

A Letter from a potential Farmers Agent letting us know that she has found our site and is now "very concerned about what I am reading on this site". We all know the concern is for good reason. It was very smart for her to do some reasearch about the opportunity prior to making any commitment!

<Letter Start>

Ok, so I received a lot of emails from Farmers since my resume was on Careerbuilder.com and I had ignored a lot of them because I wanted to start my in IA. I finally gave in and just recently meet with the DM. Seems like a nice man and a very good salesman. I was hooked about all the help they give you etc.

I decided to check them out and see what others had to say when I cam across this web site, http://www.farmersinsurancegroupsucks.com, which of course linked me to yours. I must say that I am very concerned about what I am reading on this site. I emailed the DM with the link to this site and asked him what is going on. He hasn't responded yet which is unusual for him, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt and think maybe he is out of the office at this time. I really want to start my own IA but it seems very hard since I am new and do not have any volume sales to start with.

I am at a crossroads about what to do and am not sure where to start.
Any help would be great!

Thanks

Response: Hi and thank you for reading and responding. I sent you a email with specific help for your situation. For everyone else that is reading this, note that she is not alone and found our site just in time. She has perhaps saved her lifes savings and years of time that would have been wasted on the false hopes and dreams that Farmers tries to give you.
