• Turning prospects into customers by explaining coverage options, addressing questions, and confidently asking for the sale

• Following up consistently with potential customers, outstanding quotes, and previous leads

• Expanding existing customer relationships by identifying opportunities for additional coverage and policy reviews

• Managing your sales pipeline using agency systems to track customer information, conversations, and follow-up activities

• Working toward sales and production goals while contributing to the overall growth of the agency

• Continuing to develop your skills through training, coaching, and hands-on experience

What We're Looking For

We believe a successful insurance professional is someone who combines strong communication skills with determination, curiosity, and a genuine interest in helping others.

You could be a great addition to our team if you:

• Enjoy starting conversations and getting to know new people

• Are motivated by personal achievement and the opportunity to increase your earnings

• Feel confident communicating over the phone and following up with prospective customers
