Because Farmers Insurance Group and Farmers Insurance Exchange isnt rated #1 with any consumer related publication such as JD Power or Consumer Reports. We were instructed to hand out propaganda for Ranking Arizona Magazine who rated Farmers #1 for 3 of the last 5 years.
Guess how you become rated #1 in Ranking Arizona Magazine?
YOU VOTE FOR YOURSELF!
You can vote twice per email this year? Isnt that great considering in Arizona Farmers Insurance has more agents than State Farm and Allstate Combined! That is agents per client too, not clients per agent. The average for a State Farm Agency is 4000 clients/agent. Allstate is 2000 clients/agent and Farmers Insurance is 1000 clients/agent.
Seems like a great deal for the clients right? Well not really because the more wealthy State Farm and Allstate Agents would have trained staff hired to help assist clients. Poor Farmers Agents often cannot afford to have office staff. So the end result is the client might or might not get better service. Its not the fault of the agent that the company puts a Farmers Insurance Agent on every corner.
Look at the proof! Please not these are only the agents that have published in the phone book. Many Farmers Insurance Agents wash out of the system or cannot afford to pay to be included into the phone book. State Farm and Allstate makes sure that they publish at least all of their agents in basic name/phone number inclusion.
Also note that these arent the client or policy count numbers. Both Allstate and State Farm have more Clients and Policies than Farmers in every state.
