I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Combined Insurance in Jun 2010
Interview
I was contacted after turning in my resume. I had two separate phone interviews which were very informal, mostly because of the type of manager I had. On the second interview, I was told that I was actually competing against another agent from State Farm who they thought would be able to bring over a book of business. In the end, I was given the job over the phone which is where things got difficult. I had to make arrangements to go down to California for 2 weeks for training. Being down in Cali was awesome but being in training memorizing a 10 page sales script was awful. Ultimately the interview was pretty easy and I found out later it's because Combined is a failing company that desperately needs warm bodies to stay alive.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I honestly don't remember. I was asked mostly about my ability to sell a complex idea to a skeptical customer. If you can't ad lib through something like this, you probably won't make it in this job.
I met in my person with the local sales leader, discussed the process and whether or not I felt like I could sell the product. I thought it was a simple process that was very beneficial.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Combined Insurance (Little Rock, AR) in Mar 2020
Interview
Easy interview with a nice interviewer!! They asked direct questions but still tried to make me feel at home in the process. They were a little low on the salary i was looking to make.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Combined Insurance (Los Angeles, CA) in Sep 2018
Interview
I had a phone interview with the district manager through an employee referral. I was asked a series of questions about my experience as an insurance producer, my current employer, and skills and training I may have had while employed. I was then asked if I would like to make money while helping others, and when I would be available for a ride along with another agent.
