Job description

Commercial Insurance Sales Executive

Gravesend £30,000 £35,000 + Commission Hybrid Working

Are you an ambitious commercial insurance sales professional who wants plenty of leads, an excellent commission structure and the opportunity to build a successful long-term career with a rapidly growing independent broker?

Our client is a family-owned commercial insurance brokerage based in Gravesend. The business has developed an excellent reputation for its personal approach, strong market relationships and expertise in arranging insurance for businesses across a range of sectors, with a particular specialism in construction.

As part of its continued growth, they are now looking for a driven and commercially minded Sales Executive with at least two years experience in commercial insurance sales.

This is a genuine sales position for someone who enjoys speaking with business owners, identifying opportunities and converting enquiries into profitable new business.

The opportunity

Our client can provide a strong flow of leads and enquiries, giving you an excellent platform from which to succeed. You will be responsible for responding quickly, understanding each prospect s insurance requirements and converting suitable opportunities into new clients.

However, the business is also looking for someone with the hunger and initiative to create opportunities of their own. You will therefore be encouraged to build relationships, generate referrals and develop your own pipeline alongside the leads provided.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Contacting and qualifying new commercial insurance leads
• Speaking with business owners to understand their risks and insurance requirements
• Converting enquiries into profitable new business
• Building strong relationships with prospects, clients and insurers
• Developing your own leads through referrals, networking and proactive business development
• Producing accurate and professional insurance documentation
• Working closely with the wider team to ensure clients receive a responsive, personal service
• Contributing to the continued growth of the brokerage

About you

• At least two years commercial insurance sales experience
• A good understanding of commercial insurance products
• A proven ability to convert leads and win new business
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A proactive, persistent and highly sales-focused approach
• The confidence to speak with business owners and decision-makers
• The ability to manage a pipeline and follow opportunities through
• A genuine desire to progress your career within an ambitious independent broker

Experience working with construction clients would be advantageous, although it is not essential.

Our client is a people-focused business, so attitude and personality are just as important as technical ability. You will need to be ambitious, hardworking, positive and keen to play an active part in the company s growth.

What s on offer?

• Salary of £27,000 £35,000, depending on experience
• Commission of 10% on all income generated above an agreed threshold
• A strong supply of leads and new business opportunities
• Working hours of 9am 5pm
• Hybrid working, with Wednesdays from home
• Four days each week in modern Gravesend offices
• 20 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Two-week company closure over Christmas
• Workplace pension
• Regular company events and team days
• Supportive, family-owned working environment
• Genuine long-term career and earning potential

This is an excellent opportunity to join a fast-growing brokerage where your contribution will be noticed, your results will be rewarded and you can build a highly successful career.

If you have commercial insurance sales experience and the hunger to take your career to the next level, we would love to hear from you.
