About the Role

This role offers the freedom to set your own schedule while building a book of business through both provided leads and your own prospecting.

- Conduct discovery conversations to understand operations and exposures
- Recommend appropriate solutions such as Businessowners, General Liability, Commercial Auto, Workers’ Compensation (where available), and related coverages (based on licensing/appointment)
- Collect underwriting info and documentation and submit complete applications
- Maintain accurate activity notes and follow-ups in agency tools/CRM
- Build long-term relationships with business clients to support retention and cross-sell opportunities
What We’re Looking For
- Strong consultative sales approach and confidence speaking with business owners
- Self-starter who can manage time, follow-up cadence, and pipeline in a remote environment
- Solid communication and organization skills
- Comfortable learning quoting/submission systems and underwriting requirements
- Prior commercial insurance sales experience preferred (but not required)
- Reliable internet and a professional, quiet workspace
Leads & Expectations
- Leads provided to help you get traction
- Must also be willing and able to generate your own leads through referrals, networking, and proactive outreach
Licensing
