Insurance Agency Sales Professional

You've developed skills that make a difference: building trust, leading under pressure, staying disciplined when things get hard, and showing up for the people counting on you.
Rural Mutual Insurance is looking for people who are ready to put those skills to work in a business they can grow and be proud of, in Racine and the surrounding communities.

Insurance experience is valued but not required. Success in this role comes from the ability to build relationships, earn trust, stay organized, and serve others.

If you've spent your career helping people, solving problems, leading teams, serving your community, or building relationships, you may already have the foundation to succeed. We'll provide the training, licensing support, and coaching to help you build the rest.

As a Financed Agent with Rural Mutual Insurance, you will build and grow a book of business across Wisconsin. This is not a traditional sales job with a quota and a manager looking over your shoulder. It is an opportunity with structure, support, and a clear path to long-term growth.

What building your career looks like:
Identify customer risks and match them with the right insurance solutions
Build referral networks with local professionals, lenders, and community leaders
Participate in community organizations and local events
Financed Agents receive a base salary, commissions, and bonus opportunities. Total first-year earnings for agents who meet performance expectations generally range from $75,000 to $85,000, though actual earnings vary based on production and business results. The financing model exists for a reason: it gives you the runway to build relationships the right way, without the pressure of needing to close a sale in week one. Agents who commit to the process and invest in their community see significant income growth in years two and three as referrals build, renewals compound, and their reputation takes hold.

Local underwriting decisions made by people who know Wisconsin
Deep credibility with the farming, small business, and rural communities you will serve
A trusted brand that opens doors in communities where reputation is everything
Commercial and farm product depth that creates real opportunity beyond personal lines

Comprehensive licensing support and pre-licensing training
Structured onboarding and a clearly defined ramp period
A community of agents across Wisconsin invested in each other's success
Comfortable with accountability and honest about your performance
Active in your community or eager to become a recognized part of it
