How Increased Accountability Drove 20% Increase in Sales
Drop in productivity means a drop in sales for Farmers Insurance agents, but Worktrack helps them reach new heights.
Farmers Insurance is an enterprise with many smaller franchises around the United States. They provide insurance in various categories, including business, life, home, and auto insurance. Their franchises vary in size levles, but many of them have found Worktrack to be of great use no matter the agency size.
During the first week of COVID-19 lockdown, Farmers Insurance sales fell down noticeably due to low productivity levels. After doing some research they found Worktrack and it completely won them over. They realized that it will help them track all computer activities of their employees thus increasing accountability for their actions during working hours.
We were monitoring productivity in the sense that we were looking at the results, at daily sales. Within the first week of COVID-19 lockdown, we’ve lost about $25,000 in sales per location so we knew we had to do something.

Making Productivity Measuring Fun
Employees at Farmers Insurance now get excited about productivity. At first, they weren’t really psyched about it, but after just a few short weeks their productivity increased notably, and they can’t wait to see their daily results.
When we started using Worktrack the productivity was at about high 70 to 80%. Right now we’re at 92%! We have people coming over at the end of the day and asking: “How did I do today? I feel I had a really good day.” So the tool brought a sort of gamification to their daily activities.
Turning Around Employees’ Reactions
When they decided to use Worktrack, managers and franchise owners at Farmers Insurance had a tough choice to make - follow their instincts and use the software, or agree with employees and deem it unnecessary which would ultimately lead to lower productivity levels and fewer sales.
Maybe we even came on too strong with our decision, but it was a matter of our business’ survival. From that point on everyone understood why we’re using Worktrack, nobody quit, no one fought back. In the end, our sales jumped through the roof and most people on the sales team made the bonus quota this month.
