Insurance Agent - Apprenticeship

Job Description

Farmers Insurance – District 95 | Central Texas Austin & New Braunfels, TX | Full-Time | Base Pay + Commission | Warm Leads & Training Provided

Build Your Own Insurance Agency — With a Salary, Mentorship, and a Proven Blueprint. This is not a typical insurance sales role.

The Farmers Protégé Agency Producer Program is a paid apprenticeship designed for high‑potential professionals who want to own their own insurance agency but need real training, income stability, and hands‑on experience before taking that leap.

You’ll work inside an established Farmers agency while being developed directly by the Farmers District Office, gaining real‑world sales experience, business training, and mentorship—all with a clearly defined path toward agency ownership.

• I want equity, not just commissions
• I’d like to run my own business, but not start from zero
• I want to learn from someone who’s already done it successfully

This role was built for you.

• Designed for future agency owners — not just producers
• Earn while you learn with base pay + commission
• Warm leads and referral opportunities — no call‑center grind
• Hands‑on mentorship from experienced Farmers agency owners
• District‑level training and support
• Award‑winning University of Farmers® training program

• Paid time off (PTO)
• Work from home
• Flexible schedule
• Dental insurance
• Vision insurance
• Parental leave
• Hands‑on training
• Mon‑Fri schedule
• Career growth opportunities
• 300% commission
• $4,000 bonus

• Work warm inbound leads and referrals through an established Farmers agency
• Quote, sell, and service Property & Casualty and Life & Health insurance products
• Learn consultative selling, cross‑selling, and client retention strategies
• Build a personal book of business while developing leadership skills
• Receive hands‑on exposure to agency operations, sales management, and business ownership
• Train with Farmers’ systems, underwriting processes, and growth strategies
• Prepare for the transition into your own Farmers agency

• 1‑on‑1 coaching from a successful Farmers agency owner
• Structured onboarding and production ramp
• Access to University of Farmers®, one of the most respected training programs in the industry
• Ongoing district support, guidance, and performance feedback
• Clear benchmarks tied to agency ownership readiness

• Base salary + competitive commission
• Commission growth as production increases
• Long‑term upside tied to equity and ownership, not just transactions
• Bonus opportunity upon program completion and agency launch

• Property & Casualty license and Life & Health license (General Lines) required for program graduation. (If you’re not licensed, we can help!)
• Sales‑minded, coachable, and competitive professionals
• Strong communication skills and client‑first mindset
• Entrepreneurial drive with interest in long‑term ownership
• Comfortable with accountability, goals, and growth
• Ability to pass a background check
• Sales, finance, real estate, recruiting, or leadership experience is a plus — but not required.
