• Prospect, follow up on leads, and develop a consistent pipeline of new business
• Assess client needs and recommend appropriate insurance solutions and risk strategies
• Prepare quotes, proposals, and presentations using agency and carrier tools
• Meet or exceed sales goals and contribute to overall business growth
• Collaborate with internal teams and refer opportunities across divisions

Qualifications

• High school diploma required; college degree preferred
• Ability to generate, pursue, and close sales opportunities
• Active Property & Casualty license (or ability to obtain within 6 months)
• Strong communication, relationship-building, and organizational skills
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office; experience with Vertafore is a plus
• Valid driver’s license with acceptable driving record
