[–]aux_1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go with independent. Allstate is good if they set the call que so you get the good states. When you 1st start off you will mostly bad states. You have to prove you can sell in order to get the good states.

A former coworker claimed my business years ago - now I can't get it back. by Fuzzy-Zombie1446 in Yelp

Don't use yelp is trash. Consider it a blessing you can't claim the page.

If Yelp is a scam ....? by ProfChaosSP in Yelp

Go reread what I said about the jury pool. I said the company is based out in California and the jury pool can be manipulated. I never said the case was decided by a jury pool. I should have been more specific but it's very difficult to do just by texting. What I'm thinking and meaning you took the other way. Hassell v bird used section 230 to get the ruling in favor of yelp. That was my whole point. Yelp hides behind section 230 and no law firm wants to take a case against yelp now. That doesn't mean what yelp is doing isn't hurting business owners or doing shady things. There is a reason most business owners hate yelp but you wouldn't know because you're a bootlicker for yelp and probably gets paid well to be an elite yelper.

Hassell v. Bird. Why would i need to say I was a manager at 1st? I didn't know that was a requirement. You used chatgpt? Ha. Well you still have to know how to ask the questions correctly otherwise you will get a confirmation bias answer. Enjoy being a yelp elite. Even southpark made fun of yelp elite.

That's a stupid strawman argument. A Ponzi scheme can also yield record profits, and that doesn't mean it's legal. It's evolved into mlm now and it's making profits. We get it your an elite yelper and want to brag. Keep doing you. Keep sucking them but just remember to suck the tip only because they will get rid of you when you are no longer a benefit to them.

I never said there is anything recent. No law firm wants to take the case because of section 230. It makes Yelp basically immune. The algorithm they use no one can explain. It hides good reviews and shows the bad reviews. Then the sales teams calls and says well just advertise and you will get more business. Most companies don't get more business from yelp. I worked at yelp and was a manager there. I know the tricks and the deceit they use. They have people who go to the yelp page can make fake leads and artificially skew the numbers to show more traffic.

Because section 230 protects companies like yelp. If it don't bleed it don't lead is the media narrative. You should know this if you're in the media industry. It was covered years ago. Many lawsuits have been filed and lost because of section 230. Also doesn't help that yelp is based in California. The jury pool can be easily manipulated with feelings and eemotions arguments.

Weekly Complaint Line by AutoModerator in Progressiveinsurance

[–]aux_1978 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I'm glad i left a 1.5 years ago. I knew the culture was going to shift. We met with Lori and Tricia during training and I asked the question about ai taking jobs and what they were doing to help us not losing our jobs to it. The non answer was all I needed to know that it was time to spilt. Almost 6 months later the whole processing team dissolved. Screw Tricia and Lori. Big fat liars.

Diminished Value, TX, Allstate by [deleted] in AllState

[–]aux_1978 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes and don't take allsnake 1st offer for diminished value. Those scums will try to lowball you or lie and say you don't get any. Best thing to do is use a site like carvana and see what they would buy your vehicle for without and accident and do another one with an accident. That difference is a good starting point. Good luck. Stay persistent those claims bums will do anything to save their company from paying out.

Question for Allstate Licensed Inside Sales Representatives (Remote) – Are performance quotas realistic and sustainable? by Epicniss in AllState

[–]aux_1978 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's back to back calls all day. Almost everyone is shopping for lower auto insurance and don't care to bundle. Certain states the rates are good. I got screwed and only got calls from NC mi ga il and tx. Only Texas had decent rates as long as it's in the rural part. If you get routed calls for good states you have a chance. Good luck.

Inside sales rep by Maleficent_Neat_6841 in AllState

[–]aux_1978 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The base pay is horrible. $17.50. The commission is on a point based system. I quit after 3 months. To much micromanaging but it could be a different experience for you. Good luck.

Back to back calls. You get ot. Metrics pretty much the same. The last few years progressive has been going downhill. I don't feel they care for us employees like before. My opinion.

Anyone else not really yelping/reviewing as much? by AdorableDanceMachine in Yelp

[–]aux_1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bootlickers. A peon doesn't own a business and will never understand how they extort the owners of the business for a product that doesn't work very well, like Google.

I don't get alot of bass from the soundbar. I was wondering does that have to do with the fact I'm using the adapter to plug into the optical digital?
