Protege Insurance Sales Representative

Job Description

We are looking for a competitive Protege Agent to generate new business by contacting potential customers. You will sell, solicit, differentiate and negotiate insurance plans that match the needs of your assigned or prospective customers’ portfolio. The goal is to build up strong positive relationships, to ensure growth attainment and increase our firm’s reputation.

Since 1928, in-person service has been the greatest foundation of Farmers Insurance. As a Protege Agent, you will work closely with the district office and a mentor agent for 6-12 months, learning the business and hitting sales goals along the way. You will be tutored by a hand selected mentor agent and learn the ins and outs of being a small business owner.

This program allows you to work towards qualifying to own and run your own agency one day or become a partner with your mentor agent.

The main purpose of the Protege program is to pair you with a seasoned agent who has experienced the growing pains of becoming a Farmers Agent. Side-by-side work with your mentor and becoming self-sufficient in the process will build your confidence and skill level. As adults, we learn best by “doing it,” rather than learning everything in a classroom. There will be classroom training from time to time, but we like to have you “earn while you learn” by teaching you “on the job.”

We provide Auto, Home, Business, and Life insurance to help protect our clients, and their assets. If you want to be a part of a winning and competitive culture, then this may be the career for you!
