Cahaba Heights Business Spotlight: Ron Jones, State Farm Insurance

Ron Jones has worked with State Farm Insurance more than 50 years. He became an agent 20 years ago when he retired from State Farm as vice president of operations. 

When he became an agent, Jones hired a staff of people who had experience working for other State Farm agents. 

“I have people who have been in the agency aspect longer than I have,” he said. “A lot of changes have taken place in our business over the years. We keep up with these to make sure we properly serve our policyholders.”

Staff members Deb Bearden and Cari Dean have both worked on the agency side of insurance for more than 30 years. Jones said he’s grateful for their experience and people skills as well as their effort to stay current so we can provide our policyholders Good Neighbor Service. 

“In today’s environment, I couldn’t operate without these two ladies,” he said. “Because we’re experienced, we can handle the problems which arise, perhaps, a little easier than we might otherwise.”

Customers also benefit because Jones does not represent multiple companies like other agencies who must be familiar with the procedures and contracts of those different companies. 

“The fact that we represent only State Farm means all our attention is directed toward State Farm and their policyholders, our customers,” Jones said. 

Jones said he appreciates all of his policyholders and welcomes new customers.

Ron Jones office is at 3122 Green Valley Road in Cahaba Heights. His office phone number is 967-2223.
