Insurance Sales Manager(Hybrid)

Job Description

Job Description

Most agencies want to hire a producer. We want to hire the person who builds the producers.

This is not a seat where you grind someone else's leads forever and hope for a title someday. This is the sales function you own it. You'll start by selling, because you should never ask someone to do what you haven't done here. But within 90 days you'll be recruiting, onboarding, and coaching producers underneath you, and you'll be paid an override on every policy they write for as long as they're on your team. The owner is not going to be your day-to-day manager he's building the technology and the strategy. Sales is yours.

The unfair advantage: we don't cold call. We built our own AI outbound and appointment-setting platform. It works our book and our lists, has the conversation, books the appointment, and warm-transfers live calls to your team. That means your producers don't prospect they show up to a calendar that's already full. You're not managing a bullpen of people fighting call reluctance, because the hardest, most demoralizing part of building a sales team is already solved. And you can scale your team faster than anyone you've worked for, because lead volume isn't your constraint headcount is. Most policies quote and bind in seven minutes or less, and you'll have an existing book to cross-sell and round out, a modern CRM, and real quoting tools.

We're a lean, tech-forward Farmers agency in the Houston / Clear Lake area. We got tired of the old agency model cold calling, churn, burnout so we built software to fix it, and we run our own agency on it. We're looking for one person to own sales and grow with us as we scale. If you've ever thought "I could run a sales team better than the people I've worked for," this is where you get to prove it and get paid on it. Our values: honesty, education, and personalized service for our clients and for our team.

This is NOT for you if:

You want to be handed leads and left alone (we have a different posting for that apply to it, we'd love to have you)

You want a management title without carrying a personal number

You need someone standing over you telling you what to do this week

Compensation: Draw / base while you ramp (you are not eating ramen for six months). Personal commission, uncapped, on everything you write. Team override on every policy your producers write this is the real money, and it compounds. Plus performance incentives on team and life production. Realistic Year 1: $75K$150K. Year 2 with a fully built team: meaningfully higher. The override is the whole point. We'd rather pay you a lot because you built something than pay you a little to be another set of hands.
