Protege Agent: Farmers Insurance

Austin, TX | Central Texas | Full-Time

You know how to sell. Now let's build something you own.

I'm looking for a high-performing sales professional with an entrepreneurial mindset who wants to become an agency owner but may not be ready to launch a business independently today.

This opportunity is designed for someone who already has the drive and sales ability to build a business, and wants a structured path to develop the skills, experience, and plan to eventually own their own Farmers agency.

This isn't just another insurance sales job. It's a pathway to ownership.

• Learn while you earn: Work alongside an experienced Farmers agency owner while developing your sales, client acquisition, retention, and agency management skills.
• Build your book: Generate new business, develop client relationships, and learn how to grow a profitable book of business.
• Think like an owner: Gain hands-on experience with the business side of running an agency, not just selling insurance.
• Build your business plan: Work directly with our District Leadership Team to develop a customized business plan and prepare for agency ownership.
• Invest in yourself: Complete Farmers training and develop the skills necessary to successfully transition into ownership.

The Protégé program provides up to 12 months to complete the applicable eligibility requirements and develop toward agency ownership. Eligible graduates have the opportunity to become a Farmers agency owner, with new-agent capital requirements waived upon graduation.

There is also a graduation bonus opportunity for eligible Protégé graduates to help support the transition into agency ownership.

You might be a great fit if you:

• Have insurance sales experience and want to take the next step toward ownership
• Or have a strong track record in B2B/B2C sales and are looking to turn your sales ability into a business
• Are highly self-motivated and comfortable creating your own opportunities
• Have an entrepreneurial mindset and genuinely want to build something of your own
• Are financially responsible and actively preparing yourself for business ownership
• Are coachable, competitive, and willing to put in the work
• Have strong relationship-building and communication skills
• Are willing to obtain the required insurance licenses if you don't already hold them

You won't be figuring this out on your own.

Our District Leadership Team provides hands-on coaching, business plan development, strategy, and ongoing support throughout the Protégé program as you work toward agency ownership.

You’ll also have access to Farmers' University of Farmers training and the opportunity to learn directly from experienced industry professionals.

If you've ever thought...

“I know I could run my own business. I just don't have the capital or the roadmap to do it yet.”

...this is exactly the type of opportunity I want to talk to you about.
