Allstate Insurance Company appointed 122 exclusive agents in Texas in 2009 and is seeking to appoint another 130 agents in the state in 2010.
“We see a significant opportunity in the current economy to attract mid-career, mid-level managers to own and operate their own business and represent Allstate in Texas,” said Todd Martin, Allstate’s Texas recruiting director. “We’re working with business brokers and through our own recruiters to find professionals with financial or sales backgrounds, who are dedicated to customer service.”
Candidates need a minimum of $50,000 of liquid capital to invest in their agency.
Allstate’s recruiting goals for 2010 selected Texas areas are as follows:
- Dallas-Fort Worth – 45
- Houston – 45
- San Antonio-Austin-Waco-Killeen – 45
- East Texas – 30
- West Texas – 22
Allstate noted that Texas is the fastest growing state in the country, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The company said recently it will open an $11.6 million customer information center in San Antonio and is planning to hire 600 employees as part of that move.
