Important Points for Farmers Agents :

Things that cant be said too many times!

 

Point 1

You will never own anything as a Farmers Insurance Agent but the debt you incur trying to make your agency work.

Point 2

The point of the program is to make you think success is just around the corner. It isnt, no matter how long you stay in it, it will always be out of reach. Dont be a Donkey chasing a carrot on a stick!

Point 3

A Farmers District Manager will lie to you and tell you that in your first year you will make $40,000 to $100,000. This is very far from the truth, the average agent that has reported to this site has lost between $10,000 and $50,000 in the first 12 months of the program.

Point 4

Read our material here and learn about our experiences. Our losses serve as an example so that you do not have travel down the same road that we have! Were not telling you to quit, we are telling you what happened to us. It is up to you to decide if you have what it takes to overcome the hurdles that the vast majority of other agents couldnt.

 

 

Farmers Reserve Agent Program - The first three months of being an Agent with Farmers. 4 in 10 agents will make it through this reserve agent program. The remainder might be recycled into existing agencies as an agency producer or go on with their merry lives without Farmers Insurance. (more)

Are you a Farmers Client?

This used to be a site for back when I was a Farmers Insurance agent. I apologize if you made it here as a former client of mine and are now confused as to what you are looking at. If you need help locating the current agent that was assigned to you please contact the Farmers Insurance District Office or lookup your agent on farmers.com if you have the name of your new Farmers Agent.
