Holly Benson Agency | Farmers Insurance

Dimondale, MI

Ready for a Career That Rewards Your Drive?

If you're someone who enjoys talking with people, likes working toward goals, and wants an opportunity to grow professionally, the Holly Benson Agency would love to meet you.

We're hiring an Agent in Training to work with customers, develop new business, and learn the insurance industry from an experienced team. Previous insurance experience isn't necessary. We're more interested in finding someone who is motivated, dependable, and ready to learn.

What Does an Agent in Training Do?

You'll spend your day connecting with people, learning about their needs, and helping them make informed decisions about their insurance coverage.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Work with new leads and connect with prospective customers

• Learn how to prepare quotes and explain coverage options

• Help clients with Auto, Home, Life, Business, and other insurance products

• Follow up with prospects throughout the decision-making process

• Develop relationships that turn new customers into long-term clients

• Look for additional ways to help existing customers protect what matters to them

• Keep your leads and conversations organized through agency systems

• Build your sales skills through hands-on coaching and practice

You Could Be a Great Fit If...

You don't need to check every box. We're looking for someone with the right attitude and willingness to develop.

• You genuinely enjoy working with people

• You're comfortable starting conversations with someone you don't know

• Goals give you something to chase rather than something to avoid

• You're persistent and don't get discouraged easily

• You take feedback well and put it into practice

• You're dependable and good at staying organized

• You have experience in sales, retail, hospitality, customer service, banking, or another people-focused role

• You're willing to complete the insurance licensing required for the position

Already licensed or have previous insurance experience? Even better.

What You'll Have Behind You

Starting in a new industry can be intimidating, so you won't be expected to figure everything out on your own.

The Holly Benson Agency provides training, coaching, and hands-on support as you learn the business and develop your confidence. You'll have opportunities to continue building your skills as you become more experienced.

The position also offers:

• Base pay plus uncapped commission potential

• Performance-based bonuses and incentives

• Ongoing sales and professional development

• Paid time off and holidays

• A supportive agency environment

• Opportunities to take on greater responsibility over time

• Long-term career and leadership development

• Potential opportunity to pursue Farmers agency ownership in the future

Where Could This Career Take You?

You may be looking for your first opportunity in insurance, or you may already know that sales is where you perform best. Either way, this role gives you the chance to learn a new industry while building skills that can open the door to greater income and responsibility.

For those interested in entrepreneurship down the road, Farmers also offers a development path for individuals who may eventually want to pursue agency ownership.
