What type of agency is your company looking for? Progressive is looking for agents with proven technological skills, a commitment to quote us on a consistent basis and a solid business plan. We are happy to discuss qualifications on an individual basis.

What are your premium volume requirements? We have modest premium requirements compared to most national companies. We would be happy to discuss our requirements on an individual basis.

Are you currently doing any niche marketing program? We offer several options for agents to take advantage of our nationally recognized brand. Research indicates that most consumers want to buy from companies they have heard of. Please contact your Territory Sales Manager for details.

What is your company's most aggressive line of business? Private passenger automobile is our largest product line. However, we are aggressively seeking business in all product lines we write.

Do you use credit scoring? Yes. However, we never use credit to deny or reject a risk; we simply use credit in combination with other variables to determine the most accurate rate for the risk.

Do you currently download/upload with your agencies? All agencies representing Progressive are required to upload new business applications. Agencies must download software called Client Profile.

What methods do you use to distribute your insurance products? We offer consumers the choice of purchasing our products through independent agents, over the phone or online at progressive.com. The majority of consumers prefer to buy locally, from a brand recognized company, and most of our business is sold through independent agents.

What makes your company stand out from all the rest in Illinois? Why would an agent want to contract with your company? I feel our name says it all. We are a very aggressive, progressive company. We have consistently delivered superior profit and growth results both in Illinois and nationally. We take pride in our 24/7service philosophy to be there when and where our agents and consumers need us most. Please call and find out for yourself.
