  • Working primarily with leads provided by the company to maximize your sales potential and conversion rate.
  • Consistently following up with your prospects utilizing phone, text, and email to stay in contact and drive toward the sale
  • Meeting and exceeding sales targets on a regular basis by employing persuasive sales techniques and actively seeking new business opportunities
  • Collaborating with cross-functional teams, including underwriters and customer service representatives, to ensure a seamless customer experience
  • Maintaining accurate and up-to-date records of customer interactions and sales activities using our CRM system.
  • Building custom policies for each customer using internal tools and systems
  • Educating customers on the finer points of home insurance to ensure their best understanding
  • Staying updated on industry trends, product knowledge, and competitor offerings to effectively position the Agency division

I've got the skills... but do I have the necessary ones?

  • 1+ years of insurance sales experience within a fast-paced brokerage setting
  • Experience selling with multiple carriers and in multiple states (home, auto, umbrella, jewelry)
  • An active Property & Casualty license
  • Outstanding understanding of insurance products and process
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport and effectively engage with diverse audiences
  • Strong negotiation and persuasion skills, with a natural ability to close deals
  • Self-motivated and results-oriented, with a demonstrated commitment to achieving and exceeding sales targets
  • Proficiency in using CRM software and other tools/software
  • Call/Contact Center experience (Brokerage experience preferred)

Bonus Points:

  • Experience with Citizens Property Insurance
  • Bilingual ability (Spanish preferred)
