Volume II, Issue III
Greetings!
Welcome to the June edition of Allstate Management Monthly!  The Allstate marketplace is heating up this season, much like Houston's summer weather.  The month of June has seen an increasing number of agents approaching PPCLOAN for financing. In this edition of Allstate Management Monthly, we would like to reach out to managers nationwide to get your thoughts on Allstate's new commission structure, provide a brief "Bankers Insight" regarding cash flow, and conclude by sharing with you a few deals we have recently funded in our "Deal Highlights" section.  Enjoy!
Thoughts on Variable Compensation
As you are all well aware, Allstate announced their plan to increase market share and provide extended profitability to their shareholders by implementing an increased variable rate commission structure for agents.  Many agents and outside buyers have inquired about the effect of this strategy on the agency force, agency value, moral of the marketplace, etc.  At PPCLOAN we have heard different perspectives about the changes and want to ask you what you think.  Please feel free to use us as a discussion board as we will publish responses to the commission rate change in our July edition of Allstate Management Monthly.  Any comments or questions are appreciated (respond to [email protected]). 

 

Banker Insight

Many agents put themselves in a precarious situation when they bet on revenue streams that are uncertain in order to meet obligations that are certain.  Often, we interview loan candidates that assume they will make a certain bonus or write a large life policy that will catapult them to a revenue amount that will allow them to get their estimated revenue figure.  However, using these assumptions to estimate the cash flow of a particular business venture should be avoided on the chance that there is a deficiency in the projected revenues. When constructing cash flow models, we always take a conservative approach in estimating the future revenues and expenses of the Allstate agency.
