2000: Allstate tried to go big with the 1-800 and internet result: Failed

2006: Geico can anyone come up with what their retention is? 40-50% retention rate is reality for the lizard. They sell low limits because they do not have to pay attorneys $$$ in long drawn out court litigation costs. What is the employee retention in the call centers? 70% of their "Agent/Employees" hang them up within the first year. Hence they are opening up Local Offices to try to help retention. result: Going in the direction of opening local offices.

State Farm still sees the value of the Agent and still a solid carrier other than Katrina claims ordeal.

The reality "On Line Loser" I mean user, buy your policy on line because most agents probably wouldn't want to service your policy because you obviously shop for price and coverage doesn't matter until your sorry pathetic sob story claim comes in and your would be the E&O problem that tries to pin it on the Professional Agent. Do you get your Medical Advice from WebMD? Do you fix your car on Carcare.com? Besides your Attorney representing you in the claim you file would be one of those advertising on TV. Thank You for buying online you saved some agents an E&O claim.
