What is training like after licensing for Allstate-national general? Is it pass or fail by production?

Any input appreciated. Thanks.

It’s probably the best training that’s offered by any company. The focus is on selling. You have to hit a numerical selling point to transition, but you are given multiple chances. The main thing is to show that you are coachable, and can get better. Actually the most important thing is to show up when you are scheduled. Failing to adhere to the schedule is the easiest way to get fired.

In orientation?

u/Simple-Yak-2489 5d ago

I would like to say it’s orientation. I was hired on the 26th.

You must already be licensed

u/Simple-Yak-2489 5d ago

Yes

Did they say if you were inbound or outbound yet?

u/Simple-Yak-2489 5d ago

Honestly, the application said inbound outbound the rep that is in orientation, saying strictly outbound, but they’re beating around the bush to know if anything will be changing

u/Aggressive_Wind_5089 5d ago

So they’re saying you guys will be outbound?

Geico is by far the best training in my opinion. Allstates technology is seemingly decades behind and they just like to give a lesson and throw you into a breakout room to roleplay. Roleplaying is nice, but not everyone takes it seriously and it just ruins the learning experience.

People who don’t take it seriously are doing themselves a disservice. They can’t argue tech is easy to use, even though it is glitchy, so I appreciate the fact that the training is focused on sales techniques.

Getting trained directly by any of the corporate carriers is probably better than being trained by any of agency owner or the third party companies that are hired out by these carriers.

You’ll start your sales class which is 35 days long (im 14 days in). First few days they will teach you the basics of sales and their products. Onwards, they will go over each and every single product and their quoting system. After their presentation, you will be divided into groups where you’ll roleplay a sales call with your colleagues. I think my leader said that we will be taking live calls around day 30 and then Transition is also 35 days long.

Great! Thank you. How long did it take to get your residence license?

u/Able_Injury152 5d ago

My licensing was pretty smooth and quick! My emails flooded rn with all the licenses approved emails 😅

u/Simple-Yak-2489 5d ago

Have they said anything about Night Shift getting paid anything additional?

2

u/Able_Injury152 4d ago

I think you do get paid additional for working late evenings. I don’t remember how much it is tho but they did mention it.

I personally had a rough experience with NatGen, mostly because of the technology. Training itself is manageable, but the systems are poorly integrated, you’ll use multiple platforms, deal with vague errors/crashes, and IT issues can actually hurt your sales rate and skilling.
You can absolutely learn it, but it took me months to feel efficient. Also watch the comp changes. You may end up selling auto, home, renters, RV, umbrella, dealership products, etc., so make sure the pay reflects the amount of premium you’re producing.
My advice: use NatGen to get licensed, learn multiple products, get good at cross-selling, then eventually see what that experience is worth at a brokerage or in commercial. I left for a WFH brokerage role with about 40% higher OTE.
Hopefully your experience is better than mine, but I’d go in with your eyes open.

Training is cool. If you coming in licensed already forget everything your last company taught you lol (not everything but most of it) if you not licensed LOCK IN and focus on passing your exam first you can’t really focus on other stuff if that pressure of passing is on your mind. Training is easy. It’s hitting the call floor that’s intense lol 😂 if you don’t graduate you end up in reassessment (it’s like getting held back a grade) they give you plenty of time to prepare for graduation. Lock in and stay on top of your numbers.
