The transformative process is centered around the goal of lowering the cost of insurance to grow and better retain customers.
Once the rates are reduced, will the current Allstate customers policies be automatically re-priced? If not why? If so then won't both the agents and corporations gross revenue substantially decrease?
After transformative growth is completed, will the reduction in overhead be enough? What is the percentage of new business required to offset the reduction in gross income?
I'm transferring all my policies to Geico and I will ask my friends and family to do the same.
Allstate auto rates are really high and out of pattern with the rest of the industry. I got a Progressive Direct quote with the exact same coverages, deductibles, etc. and it was over $1K less than my Allstate policy per 6 months!!!! Tell me we aren’t Blockbuster or Kodak unless some radical changes are made!!!
Tommie boy's grasping at straws with layoffs. He has been trying to find a way to grow the business and hasn't been successful at all. He bought CNA-Encompass, Esurance, now National General yet the company has continued to slip from the #2 national auto carrier to #4. State farm is cutting rates by 11% as had GEICO both ahead of us in market share. He utilizes profits to inflate the stock price with buy backs, but gives his departments death by a thousand cuts. The health insurance provided to employees is pathetic for a Fortune 100 company. Sad times for a former great company and those unfortunately stuck there.
Are you serious, rate reduction? There is never going to be a rate reduction. It is smoke and mirrors strategy by Allstate to try to still have some type of Buy in by the remaining corporate employees and agents. This is just a bunch another lies otherwise they would be able to provide a timeframe when rate reductions would occur rather than just simply saying in the future.
Rates won't go down, a few other companies did rate hikes in January and February and are now rolling those back, it makes them look good but they are just another insurance company playing the system.
All of this was put in play 2-3 years ago, well before COVID. The project was named Vision 2020. Current customers will have to leave for at least 6 months and then come back in order to get the benefit of lower rates.
They are looking to sell the company and to do so...they need it make look more profitable.
Pre-covid plan was the rates will not be lowered to achieve this goal the rates are expected to stay the same over a long period time while our competition rates go up. We would start cutting costs to stay in our cost ratios. Now I really don't know if this was always part of the plan or if this was heightened due to the covid discount.
I can tell you that for those of us that were loyal employees and customers they are going to lose their business with us. We will go to another carrier as soon as we get layoff, maybe before
No the current policy holder price will not be reduce only for the new ones.. They already reduce the price by 80%
They say that’s the reason. It’s up to you if you believe it but I don’t. Just like how if you give tax cuts to corporations it will trickle down and create more American jobs for people. It’s just what sounds more digestible. It’s about profit and stock price.
There is no hope with the current leadership of Allstate. The transform plan was long overdue and the rates will continue to increase and value decrease.
If you think rates will go down after the layoffs I have some swamp land I’d like to sell you. That money will be part of Shapiro’s golden parachute after he runs the company into the ground.
Allstate has one of the highest customer retention rates in the industry, the problem is going to be getting more customers to keep cash coming into the company with reduced rates.
They have increased new business commissions to the agents and several I know are cleaning up, and there are a few I also know who have been around for 20 years that are selling since they just wanted to maintain what they had.
Auto insurance is a commodity. It has been for some time. Loyalty between the customer and the insurer went out the window years ago. Allstate was late to the game and is gutting itself to try and catch up.
blue ocean = more layoff's to come02021 and forward as well. more virtual more self service.
The future is bleak here regardless. Go start your own businesses!
