How many employees at GEICO are insurance sales agents?

Question

I am looking for the number of sales agents at GEICO in the US. These would be call-center type employees that provide insurance quotes and sell policies. I have heard that GEICO has 20-30K customer service agents; this number probably includes the sales agents as well.

I am doing this for a graduate research project on direct marketing.

Perhaps there is a GEICO employee or ex-employee that could help me out?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

A bunch.

Answer 3

Contact me via email for the answer.

Answer 4

5 people and 1 lizzard.

Answer 5

I would suggest contacting GEICO's PR dept. Hopefully, they have someone who can call you back and talk.

Send a email as well, but be sure to make a call during regular business hours. Make it very clear that you are a student at X university, in X major doing a paper on GEICO's acheivements in direct marketing. They will offer to send you an investment package, which won't be very useful, but see if you can ask some well prepared questions, or talk to someone with some history at the company in the marketing arena.

You are smart to post here as well. Try some marketing forums as well, and don't forget to talk to GEICO competitors as well (Progressive, etc.).  Great topic, BTW. There is  a lot of marketing chatter about GEICO.
