"Thank you for taking the time to review my business proposal and helping me acquire my first Allstate Agency. I really appreciated the consultant aspect of your firm since this was my biggest investment in my business career. Gaining new information about an industry leader was certainly interesting and helpful. I truly appreciate your time, your talent, and your effects to keep this process painless and for the final closing as of June 1, 2013.

Thank you again for your expertise and knowledge of the insurance industry and I look forward to partnering with you in future endeavors."

- Gregory Morgan

"I may be a little biased since two of my super stars have come from Samm Consulting. - First note they specialize specifically on recruiting insurance producers & staff.

My office manager Jane, came from Samm. We were failing OYS requirements ending the year last year. Every month this year we are averaging 98% -100% on all requirements. Her focus is on retention, and the agency's 5 moments of truth. No one else does any servicing, she also sold 7K last month in additional. Melody in my office also came from Samm; she sold 3 life policies her second month of selling. Last week she sold a little over 14K in commercial New DWP, and 6K consecutively the prior two weeks."

- Ronnie Williams Insurance Agency

"If you are considering the sale of your agency I would recommend, Mel Clemmons, to guide the deal… It's always better to sell before you have to have a sale. Mel Clemmons understands the climate which we find ourselves these days. He finds qualified buyers and puts them with quality agencies that may be considering the sell. His expertise was very helpful in moving my large agency and I would recommend him to anyone that is serious about selling on their own terms."

- Stephen Mitchell

"…Mel's knowledge of the purchasing process was a huge benefit and quite honestly because of him it made the purchases even possible…In the future if I decide to sell or buy another agency I would use his (Mel's) services again."

- Matt Devine

"SAMM CONSULTING worked with me for almost 1 year until the right opportunity was available. When that opportunity was presented, every situation was explained and all questions were answered. They did a great job of making me feel comfortable during what can be a stressful situation. If you are looking to buy an agency, please make sure you call them first. The experience and knowledge they offered made the difference in my purchase experience. When I have the opportunity to purchase again, I will only use SAMM CONSULTING!"

- Paul Rue II

"…Thanks for having the integrity, professionalism and ethical character to represent the seller and also assist the buyer with the acquisition of the seller's Book of Business. Not one time was there any issue of any sort. The deal was very smooth and comfortable from the beginning to end! That was largely because of your (Mel's) hard work and effort throughout the sell…"

- Darrin Collins

"I want to thank you for your help. The sale of my insurance agency was very challenging, but because of your thorough assistance and direction, I was able to sell the agency…In 30 days you accomplished what I could not do in four months…"

- Steve Compton

"…I was and still feel a bit inexperienced about the purchase and acquisition of an Allstate agency, but Mel prepared me thoroughly and guided me through the channels…Overall, I would have been lost without Mel and so I am thankful he made himself available."

- Tevis Upton

"Thank you for making one of my life transitional dreams come true without the stress that I anticipated. You really are a great asset to any insurance agent who is in the market to sell their agency and for any new buyer who may be in the market to buy an existing agency. My experience with you was truly a "Win/Win" experience.

Keep up the good work. Thanks again."

- Lisa L. Whitstine

"I was told there was no way I could get the price I wanted or the terms that I required.

Not only did you get me the price I wanted, to have it on my terms and closing in less than 60 days was the icing on the cake. Having the choice of two legitimate, QUALIFIED, buyers in the same week gave me the flexibility to have a voice in choosing who would be servicing my clients and my staff. This was a very important factor to me."

- Peter Mansolillo

"During my time as an agent, I have purchased over 12 agencies and every one of them has been challenging, or so I thought.
