This is a leadership role in outside sales, operating within your designated territory. You'll receive extensive training to engage with small and medium-sized businesses across various industries, interfacing directly with business owners and decision-makers to offer industry-leading supplemental insurance products and services. Your responsibilities will include:
  • Responding promptly to client emails and phone calls.
  • Scheduling follow-up appointments with prospective and current clients to assess their evolving needs.
  • Participating in scheduled calls or meetings with your sales team or manager.
  • Prospecting new businesses, referrals, and existing clients for continued service.
  • Building and maintaining a robust book of business through proactive relationship development.
  • Collaborating with your sales team manager to establish and achieve monthly and quarterly sales targets and quotas.
  • Cultivating meaningful relationships with local business owners within your territory. Selling Business to business.
  • Setting your own working hours and providing weekly schedules to your sales manager.
  • Balancing cold lead generation and sales with warm leads and appointments with existing clients, leveraging provided sales leads and engaging in targeted cold-calling efforts.
  • Submitting daily sales metrics and activity reports to track progress and performance.


We Offer:
  • Virtual classroom training as well as hands-on sales training in your own territory
  • Weekly draw pay with bonuses and commission eligibility upon start
  • Quarterly and annual incentive trips, cash bonuses, stock share bonuses, and lifetime-vested renewal commissions
  • Advancement and promotions based on personal performance
