Your main task will be forging lasting relationships with business owners and key stakeholders, understanding their needs, and presenting tailored insurance solutions that make a real difference in their lives.

Out in the field, you'll engage directly with potential clients through cold calls and in-person visits using our state-of-the-art Salesforce CRM. Your goal will be not only to close sales but to become a trusted advisor to your clients, ensuring they feel valued and understood.

You will work with business owners, benefits managers, and their employees individually at times; other times, you will give product presentations with employee groups as large as 50-100+ people. You will be expected to:

Respond to general emails and phone calls from clients
