Whether you need auto, home, life, or
income protection, Josh Hemphill has
you covered. He was inspired into the
industry in 2007, when his grandmother
died. Though her funeral left his family
devastated, he recognized it could have
been a lot worse without the life insurance
that allowed his family to pay off her debt
and medical bills she left behind. “It was
a game-changer to be able to take care of
it… It helped me realize that as a State
Farm agent, I could change a lot of lives, by
helping families on a needs-basis program.”
Impassioned by this idea, Hemphill looks
forward to working with and helping his
clients on a day to day basis. It was this
passion that actually allowed him to earn
an incredible place in State Farm history,
despite having only had his office in
Farragut since 2014.
Awarded the Top 100 New Agent, in
the first year open, was only the start of
accomplishments for Josh Hemphill’s State
Farm Agency. With hard work and client
care, the growth of team members and
awards continue, most important is that
it shows they have earned the trust of his
clients and community. Josh had goals,
one being to reach the Top 100 in the
company. “I told my team that I wanted
to be in the top 100. There are roughly
19,900 State Farm agents.” In 2017, he
and his team ranked 72 overall and he
actually achieved something much larger:
the Million Dollar Round Table award and
membership. This international award is
incredibly difficult to acquire. It includes
the top 1% of all insurance agents globally.
Being given this award allowed him to
attend meetings and meet with other
financial advisors and agents, to learn
from those who’ve been in the business
for far longer. “It was cool because when
you attend these meetings, it’s like the
Olympics of insurance.” An Olympic he
qualified for in only 3 years and repeated
4 years in a row. The Top 100 ranking
awards repeated this year as do the
company-wide and international awards.
Josh Hemphill did not do it alone, of course.
“It’s my name and face on billboards, posters,
everything, but the credit should also go
to my team.” His team consists of 7 other
members: Bradley James, Teresa Hurst,
Zenia Hartsfield, Lacey Hepler, Amanda
Hemphill, Amy Kooima, and Kaleb McCalpin.
Each member has their own strengths and
specialties in the Insurance field, ranging from
home, to auto, to life, to income protection,
and are a bilingual office. He could not have
gotten this far without them. His team at
home also gave him the chance to succeed.
His wife Amanda Hemphill, his son Jordan,
and his daughter Isabella are “my support
group to keep this thing rocking!” His family
and his team have a lot to be proud of.
Whether you need to protect your home,
your car, your life, or your income, Hemphill
has the plan and the care to ensure that you
get what you need, when you need it. After
accomplishing so much after less than a
decade of insurance services, it’ll be exciting
to see where he goes from here.
“YOU HAVE TO BE
BE
READY TO GO LIVE
AT ANY MOMENT.”
