Allstate Seeks Agents to Open 40 New Offices Throughout Nevada

LAS VEGAS, May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- With Nevada's unemployment rate at the highest ever at 13.4%, the time to start a small business is now. Many entrepreneurial success stories were launched in tough economic times – Allstate was founded during the Great Depression – and starting a business now offers the opportunity to take control of a career by opening an Allstate agency.

Allstate (NYSE: ALL), the nation's largest publicly held personal lines insurer, has launched a recruitment campaign in Nevada to attract successful, self-motivated entrepreneurs for a career as an Allstate Exclusive Agent. Unlike many opportunities, Allstate provides its new agents essential tools and resources to help them get off to a great start, including insurance product education, expertise from sales leaders, customizable marketing and advertising materials and performance incentives.

"We believe in today's employment landscape there is tremendous opportunity for professionals at all career levels to build an economic interest in their own business," said Jeff Hoffman, strategic deployment leader for Allstate's Southwest region. "With Allstate, agents have the independence to run their own agency – including staffing – plus leverage a well-known global brand and utilize the comprehensive resources available to enhance their business."

Targeted areas within the state include the Las Vegas metropolitan area, Reno and Carson City. Allstate seeks individuals committed to customer service, business growth and community involvement. An insurance background is not necessary as extensive insurance education is provided to new agents.

"As an agency owner, you are on your own, but not alone. We'll supply tools and continuous support that allows agents to set their own direction. An entrepreneur is someone who sees an opportunity and has the innate drive to take advantage. That's the type of agent we're searching for at Allstate," Hoffman said.

Allstate agents have the opportunity to sell the company's wide range of insurance and financial products, including auto, property and financial services. Agents will also have the opportunity to expand their business by opening multiple locations and watch its value grow with every sale.

Allstate's agency expansion plan is part of an overall strategy that calls for growing the provider's auto and property insurance presence statewide and staking a stronger claim in financial services.
