Farmers Insurance Launches AgencyPoint

Looking to become a Farmers Insurance independent business owner? The insurer announced that it is expanding, and has begun its AgencyPoint initiative in Cincinnati, which acts as an agency recruitment and training center for candidates looking to become Farmers independent business owners.

"We are excited about our expansion into the eastern United States," explains Scott Stice, SVP, Farmers Eastern Market Operations. "Farmers Insurance officially introduced its expansion efforts with the launch of AgencyPoint, a new large-scale business development recruitment center that will be located in Cincinnati."

Stice adds that AgencyPoint will offer an opportunity to anyone looking to become an independent business owner with Farmers

"AgencyPoint will be staffed with highly trained Farmers employees to offer intensive hands-on training to candidates who will become successful Farmers agents," he continues. "We will follow the opening of these AgencyPoints with additional ones in most states across the eastern United States beginning early next year."

In addition to the AgencyPoint facilities, Farmers will continue to recruit and train new agents through its existing district managers as well.

Farmers also has opened two other AgencyPoint facilities in Cleveland and Milwaukee.

Cincinnati AgencyPoint Director Mark Reynolds noted that the addition of AgencyPoint will allow Farmers to take on 150 new agents in Ohio, and 75 of them in the Cincinnati area this year.
