About the Opportunity

My client is a small, independent insurance brokerage looking for a motivated, driven, and outgoing Entry-Level Insurance Agent to join their team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to break into the insurance industry, develop sales skills, and build a long-term career with significant earning potential.

No prior insurance experience or licensing is required. The right candidate will receive hands-on training and sales scripts while learning how to develop relationships with businesses, present insurance solutions, and close new accounts.

This is a sales-driven opportunity for someone who is comfortable picking up the phone, making cold calls, and putting in the work to build a successful book of business.

What You'll Do

• Make outbound cold calls and send cold emails to prospective business clients.
• Identify and connect with employers who may benefit from group and individual health and life insurance solutions.
• Schedule appointments and build relationships with potential clients.
• Conduct introductory meetings to understand each company's insurance needs.
• Prepare and deliver insurance presentations to prospective clients.
• Follow up with prospects, overcome objections, and close new business.
• Meet with clients virtually or in person as needed.
• Maintain accurate records, organize documentation, and follow established procedures.
• Use Microsoft Excel, Outlook, and insurance carrier portals to support daily activities.
• Consistently prospect for new business and develop a long-term client portfolio.

What We're Looking For

• A self-motivated, ambitious individual with a strong work ethic.
• Comfortable making cold calls, sending outreach emails, and speaking with new people.
• Strong communication, interpersonal, and relationship-building skills.
• Competitive mindset with the ability to handle rejection and stay persistent.
• Organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to follow established processes.
• Willingness to learn the insurance industry and commit to building a long-term career.
• Comfortable working in a small, hands-on office environment.
• No prior insurance experience, college degree, or insurance license is required. Recent graduates and candidates looking to start a career in sales are encouraged to apply.

Compensation & Earning Potential

• Starting pay of $33k/yr plus strong commission.
• Significant commission-based earning potential as your client portfolio grows.
• Opportunity to build a recurring book of business, with commissions potentially continuing as long-term client relationships are maintained.
• Temp-to-hire opportunity with the potential to transition into a permanent position.

Important: This role requires patience and persistence. Sales cycles can take several months, so candidates must be comfortable investing time and effort into building their pipeline before seeing substantial commission earnings.
