State Farm always a TS like they gave you something! They never gave you a single penny! You earned it so just beware of the nice guy Kool aid they serve you when in actuality they gave you nothing. Like prior posts have mentioned, it is no longer a... — read more
Pressure in Agency is insane.
I am an AA97 agent who is much closer to the end than the beginning. Never been a Superstar-mostly because my priorities do not fully mesh with a sales first mentality. I grew like crazy 20 years ago when service and insurance understanding were... — read more
