Job description

If you're driven, confident, and love the buzz of great conversations, this is your chance to join a well-established insurer that rewards performance and invests heavily in your success. Their Wellington team is growing, and they're looking for motivated Insurance Sales Consultants who want to build a long‑term career while earning uncapped commission.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Calling warm, qualified leads every day – no cold calling
• Using a proven conversation framework to convert enquiries into applications
• Helping customers understand available cover options
• Guiding customers through the full application process
• Managing sensitive information with accuracy and professionalism
• Keeping your pipeline up to date and following up with customers to progress applications and convert opportunities

Your Week at a Glance

• Mostly outbound calls, with minimal inbound enquiries
• Strong lead flow – Mondays are typically the busiest
• New leads first, then shared team follow-ups
• Shifts rotate every two months (between 8am–7pm)
• After around 6 months, once fully confident, you can work from home up to two days per week

What’s On Offer

• Uncapped commission – your earning potential is in your hands
• Health and life insurance benefits
• Recognition, rewards, and small team celebrations

Training That Sets You Up to Win

You’ll start with a structured three‑week induction covering:

• Facilitated learning
• Online modules
• Practical roleplay and coaching

From there, you’ll receive ongoing support, regular coaching, and opportunities to gain industry qualifications and grow your career internally.

Who Succeeds Here

You’ll thrive if you:

• Are goal driven, reliable, and motivated to improve
• Have at least 18 months’ work experience (retail, sales or customer service helps)
• Take pride in accuracy and detail
• Communicate confidently with all types of people
• Stay positive and resilient when conversations get tough
• Enjoy structure, clear expectations, and consistent targets

A Few Realities

This is a compliance focused environment, so accuracy matters. Some days will feel more rewarding than others – that’s sales – but you’ll have strong support around you as you build momentum.

Why People Love Working Here

• Supportive, high performing team
• Strong focus on development and coaching
• Backed by a respected global brand
• A culture that values doing things properly
