Hi Brad!

First of all, SF is not ending insurance coverage of windshield repair. They are removing the deductible waiver for 7 states for a trial run. Alabama is not one of them. So, being in Alabama, every insurance company waives insurance deductibles, including SF, for the forseeable future.

Second, if it ever does come down to it, there are MANY ways to sell this business without insurance, and we've discussed just a small fraction of those on the State Farm thread...

So, SF's decision won't affect you. Also, in the affected states, the people it will really hurt are the ones that are unwilling to adapt to a new selling style, leaving that much more work for people who can!

When i first started I only did fleets. I did between $4-$6k a month with hardly an insurance deal in the bunch. That's pretty good for about 5 hours a day :)

If you use ACT and complete the paperwork/follow the instructions that they send you in your welcome packet, ACT will invoice SF for you.
