Insurance Agent (Apprentice Program)

Job Description

Job Description

Our Protege Mentorship Program is a structured, six-month (or less) ownership development program designed for experienced, licensed insurance professionals who want to become agency owners but value mentorship, accountability, and real-world preparation before launching their own agency.

This program is not entry-level and not a shortcut to ownership. It is designed for individuals who are serious about building a profitable, well-managed insurance agency.

What This Program Prepares You For

• Throughout the six-month program, Proteges are trained and coached in the core disciplines required to successfully own and operate an insurance agency, including:
• Advanced sales strategies and production discipline required to grow and scale an agency
• Consultative selling across multiple lines of business
• Client retention and service systems that support long-term book value
• Leadership and managerial skills needed to hire, train, and manage a team
• Business planning fundamentals including goal setting, activity management, and growth strategy
• Operational awareness aligned with underwriting, compliance, and company expectations

This program is ideal for licensed insurance professionals who:

• Want ownership, not just a job
• Are willing to be held accountable to production and performance standards
• Value mentorship, structure, and real-world experience before launching an agency
• This program is not intended for individuals seeking a service-only role, minimal sales expectations, or a low-accountability environment.

Elder Agency, LLC is an award-winning, full-service, multi-line insurance agency based in Fort Worth, Texas. We offer Auto, Home, Umbrella, Commercial, Specialty, and Life Insurance.
