I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Farmers Insurance Group (Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2015
Interview
The Interview process was fairly relaxed. It mainly discusses sales experience and gives an overview of what Farmer's is doing as a company. Usually the branch assistant manager will interview you first, then he/she will turn it over to the branch manager. You'll want to mention being comfortable with making around 20 to 50 calls a day. That would be a maximum of 250 a week. They'll want to hear this when assessing your ability to get the ball rolling on your own.

Question 1
The most difficult question i got was: "What is an amount of outbound calls you feel you can make per week to be successful in this business?"
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Farmers Insurance Group (Tulsa, OK)
Interview
Straight forward. I was already an agent at the time and was interested in the switch. Farmers was easy with onboarding and getting set up on their system. I have enjoyed their products and service

Question 1
What kind of experience I had and what sales techniques I use.
Was basic and tedious asking me questions about my prior work history so make sure that I understood the job role. Overall it was not difficult to formulate an answer to the questions.
The interview was professional and conversational. The agent clearly explained the role, expectations, and growth opportunities. I was asked about my communication skills, work ethic, and goals. Overall, it felt welcoming, informative, and focused on long-term potential rather than pressure
