She studied very hard and on Saturday the 28th she passed the personal lines license test which means she will soon be licensed in the state of California to sell auto insurance, homeowners insurance, condominium insurance, renters insurance and motorcycle insurance!

July Agent of the Month!

August 1st, 2016 by Dan Kitajima

Congratulations to Jazmin Sepulveda for winning the “Agent of the Month” Award for the first time in her career! Since she just joined our agency in March so that means in only her 5th month she won her first agent of the month award which is the fastest anyone has ever won this really difficult award to win!! Although this is a amazing accomplishment maybe we shouldn’t be so surprised at her sales results because she has been in the insurance industry for over 10 years now. As a veteran in this game she has the experience but most importantly she has the work ethic which really showed last month. I will like the rest of us at our agency to start showing her some respect around here because she is sure starting to get more of mine. The best work hard every month and continue to get better so I’m excited to see how she does this next month and beyond!
