Job description

Farmers District 46 | Farmers Insurance

Location: San Antonio Metropolitan Area, TX

Compensation: Base Salary + Commission + Bonus Opportunities (1st year $60,000 -$100,000 OTE)

What if your next job could lead to owning your own business?

Are you ambitious, competitive, and looking for more than just another job?

Imagine earning a salary while developing valuable business skills, learning from successful entrepreneurs, and working toward the opportunity to own a business of your own.

At Farmers District 46, we're looking for motivated individuals to join our Protégé Program, a professional development opportunity designed to prepare the next generation of business owners.

No insurance experience required. We're looking for ambition, work ethic, and an entrepreneurial mindset.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Most jobs offer a paycheck and the possibility of a promotion. This opportunity offers something more: a potential path to owning and operating your own business.

Here's what you can expect:

• Base Salary + Commission + Bonuses: Enjoy the stability of a base salary with additional performance-based earning opportunities.
• Path to Business Ownership: Follow a structured development program designed to prepare you for agency ownership.
• One-on-One Mentorship: Learn directly from experienced agency owners and business leaders.
• Hands-On Business Experience: Gain real-world experience in sales, marketing, customer acquisition, and business operations.
• Professional Development: Receive training, coaching, and ongoing support to accelerate your career.
• No Experience Necessary: We provide the guidance and resources needed to get started.

The Bigger Opportunity: Become a Business Owner

The Protégé Program isn't just about preparing you for your next position. It's about preparing you for the possibility of building something of your own.

Successful participants may qualify for the opportunity to own and operate a Farmers Insurance agency.

Imagine a future where you can:

• Be Your Own Boss: Take control of your career and make the decisions that shape your business.
• Unlock Exceptional Income Potential: Build your income through commissions, renewal revenue, and attractive performance-based bonus opportunities.
• Access Multiple Insurance Carriers: Offer clients a broad range of insurance solutions through Farmers and available brokerage relationships.
• Start Without Franchise Fees: Pursue business ownership without traditional franchise fees.
• Build Your Own Team: Recruit, hire, and lead employees as your agency grows.
• Create a Valuable Business Asset: Develop a book of business with the potential for long-term value.
• Receive Ongoing Support: Access resources, training, and business coaching to help your agency succeed.

You’re not just learning how to sell. You’re learning how to build, operate, and grow a business.

What You'll Be Doing

During the Protégé Program, you'll work alongside an established agency owner while developing the skills needed to pursue business ownership.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Building relationships with prospective clients and local businesses.
• Identifying opportunities and presenting insurance solutions.
• Learning sales, marketing, and customer acquisition strategies.
• Developing professional communication and leadership skills.
• Gaining hands-on experience in agency operations and business development.
• Working toward performance and licensing milestones necessary for potential agency ownership.

Who We're Looking For

We're not necessarily looking for someone with years of experience. We're looking for someone with the drive to succeed.

Ideal candidates are:

• Ambitious, competitive, and self-motivated.
• Entrepreneurial and interested in future business ownership.
• Confident communicators who enjoy building relationships.
• Coachable, dependable, and willing to take initiative.
• Motivated by performance-based earning opportunities.
• Excited about professional growth and leadership development.

Recent college graduates, sales professionals, and career changers are encouraged to apply.

No prior insurance experience is required. Candidates must obtain the necessary insurance licenses.
