• Preparing quotes and helping clients make informed decisions
• Supporting clients with policy changes, renewals, and claims guidance
• Staying organized and following up consistently to close opportunities

You’ll be a strong fit if you:

• Are confident starting conversations and asking for the opportunity to quote business
• Have a strong work ethic, dependable, resilient and have a positive attitude
• Are goal-oriented and likes being rewarded for effort and results
• Are coachable, eager to learn and open to feedback
• What a long term career with unlimited potential.
• Take ownership of your results

This Role Is Likely NOT a Fit If You:

• Prefer a predictable, fixed income long-term
• Are uncomfortable with sales or performance expectations

• Don’t enjoy speaking with new people regularly
• Want a purely administrative or back-office role

Licensing & Requirements

• Must be willing to obtain insurance licensing (we will sponsor and support you)
• Must meet onboarding requirements (background check, credit check, etc.)
• Strong communication and computer skills required

Compensation Structure

Base Salary: $50,000 – $55,000 to start

Unlimited Commission & Bonus:

• New business commission
• Performance-based bonuses
• Significant income growth tied directly to your results

Additional Benefits:

• 3 weeks paid vacation
• Company computer
• Ongoing training, mentorship, and professional development
• Opportunity to build a long-term, renewable sales opportunities
• Supportive team environment with strong systems and processes
• Established client base with cross-sell opportunities and warm leads

Why Join Our Team?

We are a people-first, growth-oriented agency that believes in:

• Doing what’s right for the client—always
