Continued population growth in Florida is a significant factor fueling Allstate's agency growth strategy.

"As Florida's population continues to increase, we are seeing an increased need for new agency owners who help to protect the communities in which they live," said James Randolph, Allstate's Florida Strategic Deployment Leader.

Allstate is seeking qualified mid-career, mid-level managers who want to own* and operate their own business in Florida.

"Candidates don't need an insurance background. We'll provide them with comprehensive education and the resources to help them get off to a solid start," Randolph said. "They do need a strong entrepreneurial drive and passion to help others and their community. The ideal candidate wants to build a legacy they can pass on."

Allstate agent Felisha Foote opened her agency in the Jacksonville area and has already seen tremendous profit and growth. Foote was drawn to Allstate because of the support provided to business owners from the very beginning.

"Allstate has given me the opportunity to achieve my goal and continue to grow from it," said Foote. "I'd encourage anyone who wants to be a business owner to think about Allstate and how with their support, you can help people protect what matters most to them."
