Insurance offers fantastic opportunities to forge a career that can satisfy even the most aspirational of minds. For the curious, a chance to look ‘under the hood’ of all kinds of businesses and discover what makes them tick. For money-motivated, salaries to rival other areas of the professions, coupled with superb benefit packages. For the ambitious, a myriad of opportunities for progression and development.

Best of all, given the mandatory legal requirements for companies to hold a number of commercial insurance covers, it’s a recession-proof sector like no other.

Our client is one of the biggest names in commercial insurance, and has partnered with a leading High Street bank who have committed to generate a high volume of warm, qualified leads from their customer base.

As such, this is a fantastic place to ‘learn the ropes’ of commercial insurance broking. Prior to visiting these customers, you will undertake an extensive in-house training programme, bringing you up to speed on the nuances of the insurance sector and how best to promote the features and benefits of various covers to customers from a variety of industry sectors.

• Employer’s & Public Liability
• Professional Indemnity

We are eager to hear from candidates from a variety of industry sectors who have a demonstrable track record of success in a similar business-to-business B2B sales-based role. You should also be comfortable approaching MDs and FDs of businesses from almost every conceivable sector.

Rather than focusing simply on price, you must have a sophisticated approach to business development. This should include an understanding of solutions-based selling, prospecting, highlighting USPs, using open questions and trial closing.

We are hiring for several roles across the North East and Yorkshire, and you will be allocated a portfolio of bank branches specific to your region. As such, we are keen to hear from candidates who can work on a hybrid / remote basis based from the M62 Corridor to Newcastle.

You will receive a generous basic salary, and this will rapidly increase in line with your experience. This will be backed up by a lucrative, uncapped commission scheme that is paid quarterly, and a generous benefits package that can be tweaked to suit your personal circumstances.
