Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs

No longer number one in auto?

Yesterday my boss was talking about our competition and said "When you are number one in auto you have a big target on your back". Is that still true? I hear we have lost 110k+ auto policies in the last year. Are we still number one in auto?

I feel like we are that washed up 40 year old who peaked in high school playing football. Now we just go to the local pub every weekend in our old, worn letterman's jacket and say things like "If the coach would have just put me in the forth quarter I know I could have gotten a college scholarship"...

... or "You can't compare GEICO dollar for dollar to our policies"... or "We used to hand deliver our customers a check"... or "We pay what we owe"...

Washed up...

Customer Service certainly is leading the decline, but you have to wonder if treating their employees as they have and the lack of confidence in the CEO also contributes to this decline.

While it may seem like loosing policies is a bad thing, we have to remember the incredible innovation of this company. It won't be long till driverless cars are here and State Farm is positioned to lead the way in the future of AI controlled vehicles. Any criticism of the policies we are loosing is short sighted. These lost policies are not even of consequence in the future of insurance. It won't be long till the innovative, agile workers at State Farm make us #1 in self driving flying car insurance

State Farm lost 908,000 auto policies in 2017. We are on track to lose about that many this year as well. Conclusion: our service is so bad there is no way to sell our way out of this disaster. More existing customers leave each year than there are new customers coming in to replace them. Let that sink in....

There aren't enough wet wipes in the universe to clean up this mess.

Seriously, you do know what google is right? A quick 10 second search shows SF is still #1 in Auto insurance. 2018 and people are still too lazy to search for answers themselves.
