Our Goals Engage the agency field leaders and

agents on the mission of maintaining State Farm’s leadership position in the face of increasing competition.

Increase productivity of the 800 agents through sales coaching provided by AFLs to more effectively use current professional sales techniques and processes to be more consultative and customer focused. Specifically, improve productivity for the middle third of AFLs’ agents.


Our Goals Provide AFLs the sales-coaching process

to be even more effective and increase their confidence to lead agents to new heights of achievement. In addition, agents can grow to replicate more effective sales coaching in their teams.

Cultivate stronger relationships between AFLs and agents based on mutual trust, respect, rapport, and understanding of the agents’ values and needs.


Our Goals Provide AFLs greater self awareness of how

their behavioral traits impact relationships with agents, helping them to develop personal behavioral habits that will benefit the AFLs and their agents.

Provide management the reinforcement tools to continue the development after the training.

Minimize the investment, maximize the return, and minimize lost field time using a blended-learning approach.
