Maybe look somewhere else?
Have strong negotiating and customer service skills. If you are looking to get into Agency (sales) don’t due it!!! You will be just a number and if they don’t like you. They won’t give you your contract and you’re left with outstanding debt and have lost a lot of money. Not worth it. Look for a company who VALUES you. State Farm is in the red lost billions of dollars and runs scams in order to stay ahead. Management is horrible and the old State Farm way of doing things have faded away!!!! Can’t trust them.
