The Wild Life of an Allstate Agent!

Someone was kind enough to dig around in the databases and send us the answers to questions about Michele Linca.

It seems in April of 2002 she got divorced from Mircea Sandulescu.

It seems in September of 2007 she got divorced from Nicolae Linca.

But it seems in August of 2007 she met with Aaron Jay Goodrum at his apartment.

Here’s a page from the medical examining board about what happened.

This is really unfortunate and it is very good there was no serious or permanent injury but this sure is not what you associate with the life of an insurance agent, being tied to a radiologist’s bed and having your clothes cut off!

For whatever reason, she still keeps Linca’s name and she does have quite a few traffic infractions in Florida.

There’s also this blog and it may explain a few things, or maybe not?

Running Clock Rant “Cessation of Some Agencies”

Another Running Clock Rant – More “jobs in jeopardy” due to Allstate’s poor management and greed?

“Friday I listened to the quarterly report..I do realize they are speaking to a group of investors..but I couldn’t get over the double speak…First of all, as they spoke of cessation of some agencies…this is a polite way of saying…we’re firing some agencies…there was no big support of the agency program,,outside of the fact that it is one of three distribution points,,,,nowhere did Mr Wilson indicate the % that comes from the agency force.

In addition, they are still trying to ‘crack the code’ on the loyalty index. However, it is tied to profit sharing, agency expectation etc…but they haven’t cracked the code yet…How about, treat your agents fairly…what dumb smuck will sign up with this outfit AND YET they are advertising in Texas and Florida.

All in all it was a numbers game, with Progressive losing some,,Geico gaining some and we’re at 11% penetration…with 25 mIllion policyholders..

Meanwhile, I listened to an agent who hadn’t made his numbers in 2 yrs and after 25 yrs is resigning the fact that he will be asked to leave next year…hope he can find a buyer…my response…NO ONE in the unit qualifies for a purchase…he said “oh, s,,t! that’s right..” The statement…”Asked to leave next year…and the C.L.I OR A.L.I. just doesn’t seem to fit those words..

If an agency is below 60% loss ratio…who gives a rat’s patoot….what they do….they are making money. I just heard of an manager going into the sales force and then after two years scrabbled to get back as a manager…The old saying “Them that do,,,sell. Them that don’t…go into management.” It holds true here as well….”

Sam Zenor: p0wned!

Sam Zenor, “insurance clown boy” made a blog, “best insurance agents” full of hype about himself. It was pulled down by the blogging platform.

Serves him right.

What a sketchy bunch these Allstate agents are!

Allstate Inside Information: HORRIBLE Business Opportunity

Take a look…people losing money right and left…

Does Allstate Need a Bailout?

Could be! Someone sent this to us-a “bounced” check Allstate wrote them for a claim!

Allstate’s explanation? Bank computer error.

Rumor-someone who sued Allstate slapped a lien on Allstate’s accounts!

Sam Zenor: One of the Best or One of the Worst?

Make up your own mind! There’s a rather vague posting about him here. It is a bit odd that “best insurance agents” only has one entry!

But there’s also this complaint.
