Where Are We Going?
The Farmers Insurance Group of Companies has a long and proud history of providing quality insurance coverage to the American public.
In 1927, an idea was born when two men, named John Tyler and Thomas Leavey, started the Farmers Automobile Insurance Exchange in Los Angeles.
They both came from farming families, and recognized that people who lived on the farm or in small towns were safer drivers than people in big cities. As a result, they believed that lower- risk drivers shouldn't have to pay as much for their auto insurance.
Through the years thousands of people - people just like you - kept this commitment alive, expanding and improving on it as the needs of the American public changed. The Farmers Insurance Group of Companies became, and is today, a forward looking and vibrant organization envied for dynamic growth and respected for its ideals and successes.
But our marketplace is changing rapidly. Most important, our customers' needs are changing. You can count on Farmers to continually meet our customers' changing needs, concerns and expectations.
This commitment to the future will keep Farmers in the vanguard, achieving state-of-the-art technological, service and product development that will make us a company that is easy to do business with, a company that will be first choice in protecting and building people's assets well into the next millennium and, most importantly, a company that will help you build a successful career.

Why be a Farmers Insurance & Financial
Services Agent?
It is important to realize that this is a career in insurance and financial services. This is not employment, but rather an opportunity to start building your own business.
As a Farmers agent you will represent the Farmers Insurance Group of Companies and will market Farmers' multi-line insurance products and financial services.
You'll be in business for yourself making your own day-to-day business decisions, but with the backing, guidance and support of your district manager, state executive, Business Support Center personnel, and Home Office management. In addition, you will have the added support of nearby claims offices and a sophisticated Agency Information Management System that reaches right into your office.
You'll become an independent member of the Farmers Team, allowing you to:
Be your own boss and gain independence.
As a Farmers agent you are an independent contractor in business for yourself, but not by yourself. You will have the latitude to set your own professional goals and make the day-today decisions that will help you achieve those goals.
Direct your own business and have '-creative license'.
Your agency's growth will be dependent on your own creative ability. You will have the freedom to develop and implement the marketing plans that will dictate your agency's direction and continued success.
Gain personal achievement and career satisfaction.
As you develop your agency, you'll become aware of a growing satisfaction that comes with knowing you've made sure that your customers have the protection they need.
Have an opportunity to create wealth.
You determine your own income. There are no salary brackets to contend with, no promotions to wait for, no boss to put restraints on your potential. The amount of income you generate during your career is determined by how much energy and skill you put into it.
Create job security.
People don't buy insurance with discretionary income - there's always a need for the products you market, regardless of whether the economy is enjoying good times or not.
Gain community stature.
Operating a Farmers agency gives you the chance to become a true professional and a respected center of influence in your community.
Constantly be challenged.
The insurance environment as well as the demands and expectations of our customers are constantly changing. You will continually need to learn new skills and products to keep up with these challenges, and Farmers will make available many of the tools and education that will help you succeed.
What We Look For And Expect of Our Agents
At Farmers, we seek out and select the highest quality people. Our expectations are challenging and demanding, and we recognize that this career is not for everyone. But, for those equal to the challenge, this is one of the best entrepreneurial opportunities in America.
While there are many variables that will determine the success of an agent, there are specific characteristics that most of our successful agents possess. Therefore, when selecting agent candidates, we look for those individuals who are:
- Driven
- Articulate
- Communicative
- Ethical and honest
- Entrepreneurial
- Confident and poised
- Persuasive
- Independent
- Financially stable
- Dedicated to success
If you meet most of these characteristics, then there is a good chance that you belong with Farmers.
