Bilingual Auto Insurance Sales Agent (Kennewick, WA)

Looking for a sales job where the leads come to you?

Mid-Columbia Insurance is hiring a bilingual (English and Spanish) auto insurance sales agent for our Kennewick office.

We've been a local independent agency since 1995 serving the Tri-Cities.

Many of our clients have been turned down or dropped by the big carriers you see advertizing on TV, and we help them find coverage.

Because we're independent, we shop multiple highly rated carriers to find the right fit for each person.

There's no cold calling here.

We invest heavily in marketing, so you'll work leads from digital marketing, referrals, and our existing clients, as well as many inbound calls requesting a quote.

You spend your time advising clients and closing sales, not searching for prospects.

What we offer

• $20 per hour to start, plus commission, and performance bonuses (once licensed)
• First-year earning potential of $60,000 to $80,000+
• Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., in our Kennewick office
• Training, and help getting licensed if you aren't already
• Paid vacation and sick leave

Experience in the industry isn't necessary.

We're looking for a motivated person who is self-driven, enjoys talking with people and wants to earn more by working harder.

Your main goal will always be to put each client's best interest first so they're properly protected.

If you want a career on a high-performing team that cares about people, we want to talk to you.

Applicants will be asked to complete a pre-employment assessment as part of the hiring process.
