Position Summary
We are seeking a motivated, competitive Business Insurance Sales Producer focused on generating new commercial auto and business insurance customers.
This is primarily a phone sales and production position. The successful candidate must be comfortable prospecting business owners, making outbound calls, developing relationships, identifying insurance opportunities, following up consistently, and asking for the sale.
Primary Responsibilities
- Make consistent outbound sales calls to business owners and prospects.
- Generate and develop new commercial insurance opportunities.
- Sell Commercial Auto, Business, General Liability, Workers' Compensation, and related insurance products.
- Gather accurate information and identify underwriting concerns.
- Present coverage and pricing clearly and professionally.
- Overcome objections and confidently ask for the business.
- Maintain an organized pipeline and consistently follow up on prospects and quotes.
- Develop long-term relationships with commercial customers.
- Meet established production and sales activity goals.
Skills Needed for Success
- Strong Phone Sales Skills: Comfortable making outbound calls and creating opportunities rather than waiting for inbound leads.
- Competitive & Self-Motivated: Driven by goals, production, and measurable results.
- Resilient: Able to handle rejection and move immediately to the next opportunity.
- Strong Communicator: Confident, personable, professional, and able to build rapport quickly.
- Persistent Follow-Up: Understands that commercial sales often require multiple contacts before closing.
- Organized: Effectively manages prospects, renewal dates, quotes, tasks, and follow-up.
- Business Mindset: Curious about how businesses operate and able to identify risks and insurance needs.
- Coachability: Willing to learn, accept feedback, and continually improve.
- Integrity: Committed to writing quality business and doing what is right for both the customer and company.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate enjoys talking with business owners, is comfortable cold calling, has a strong desire to win, handles rejection well, takes ownership of results, and does not require constant supervision to remain productive.
Insurance experience is preferred, but proven sales ability, work ethic, competitiveness, and coachability are equally important.
Success in this position is measured by quality new business production—not simply activity.
Compensation: $22.00 - $25.00 per hour
