Allstate's business model
The latest news out of Allstate is that the company is shifting its business model from one that promotes direct sales to one that promotes centralized customer service. With all these changes, Allstate is placing its agents at a significant price disadvantage and funneling its existing customers to a call center run by the company. The company also wants agents to focus more on growth and new business and is reducing compensation for policy renewals while increasing compensation for new customers.
Its slogan
"You're in good hands with Allstate" is Allstate Insurance Company's slogan. The slogan dates back to the early 1800s, when Davis W. Ellis said this to his wife when she was worried that the doctor was not caring for her child. The slogan is still used by Allstate today, even if it has changed over the years. It is also a bit shorter than the old one. While the new slogan may be easier to understand, the old one is still very memorable.
Its underwriting
As a result, the company has lowered its exposure to public equity securities, a key factor in the company's overall financial health. In March, the company sold off about $4 billion worth of shares in the United States stock market. The move helped minimize investment losses during the March market selloff. At the end of March, only 13% of Allstate's total investment portfolio consisted of public equity securities. Nonetheless, Allstate remains in a strong financial position.
Its costs
The first step in claiming damages from Allstate is to determine whether you actually owe the company money. The company claims that you owe it approximately $50 million to $100 million, but the actual amount is much less. If you're in doubt about the claim, ask your insurance agent. If you don't, you should know how much Allstate hands over to its customers every year. But what about if the claim isn't real?
Its controversies
While Allstate has been criticized for its recent cost-cutting reorganization and controversial pay structure, the problems largely aren't Wilson's fault. The company's massive payouts during big storms and controversial agency compensation changes were outside his control, and his planned retirement of senior executives looked like a management exodus to outsiders. According to analyst Paul Newsome, the company's reorganization was a necessary step to improve the company's financial performance.
