• Comfortable having needs-based sales and cross-sell conversations.

• Strong listening and problem-solving abilities.

• Organized, dependable, and consistent with follow-up.

• Previous experience in insurance, customer service, account management, banking, hospitality, retail, or sales preferred.

• Bilingual Spanish/English preferred, but not required.
  
  
• Willingness to obtain required Property & Casualty and Life & Health insurance licenses with agency support.
