Lori Ramil State Farm 105 N Dean St, Englewood, NJ 07631 Full-Time | In-Office | Sales-Dominant Position
Generate Leads. Close Sales. Drive Agency Growth.
Lori Ramil State Farm is seeking a competitive, ambitious Insurance Sales Representative to join our Englewood agency as a Business Development Representative.
This is a highly sales-dominant opportunity for someone who enjoys prospecting, generating new business, overcoming objections, and turning conversations into closed sales. We're looking for a motivated professional who thrives on achieving goals, takes ownership of results, and consistently pursues opportunities to grow the agency.
This is not a primarily customer service or administrative position. Your focus will be building a strong pipeline, acquiring new customers, and producing insurance sales.
Prior insurance experience is preferred, but we're willing to invest in a driven, coachable sales professional who demonstrates the motivation and commitment to succeed.
Licensing Requirements
- Property & Casualty license must be obtained before your first day in the agency.
- A Life insurance license is required and must be obtained within the agency's established timeframe after your start date.
- We provide full licensing guidance, study resources, and support throughout the process.
- Already licensed candidates are encouraged to apply.
What You'll Do
- Generate new business through outbound calls, prospecting, referrals, and consistent lead follow-up.
- Engage warm and cold prospects to identify insurance needs and sales opportunities.
- Quote, present, and close Auto, Home, Renters, Life, and other available insurance products, as appropriately licensed.
- Build and maintain a strong pipeline of prospective customers.
- Conduct needs-based sales conversations and recommend appropriate coverage solutions.
- Overcome objections, communicate value, and confidently ask for the sale.
- Develop referral relationships and identify opportunities within the local community.
- Follow up consistently to convert leads into new customers.
- Identify cross-selling opportunities to expand customer relationships.
- Track daily sales activity, applications, conversions, and production goals.
- Collaborate with the agency team to support continued business growth.
What We're Looking For
- Competitive, goal-driven personality with a strong desire to succeed in sales.
- Confidence making outbound calls, prospecting, and closing business.
- Strong communication, persuasion, and relationship-building skills.
- Persistence, accountability, and disciplined follow-through.
- Self-motivated approach with the ability to manage an active sales pipeline.
- Comfortable handling objections and asking for the business.
- Coachable, dependable, and receptive to sales training and feedback.
- Previous sales, business development, insurance, or financial services experience preferred.
- Ability to complete required insurance licensing within established timelines.
Why Join Lori Ramil State Farm?
- Sales-focused opportunity centered on new business production.
- Full support throughout the insurance licensing process.
- Ongoing sales coaching, product training, and professional development.
- Opportunity to develop valuable prospecting and closing skills.
- Build long-term customer relationships while contributing to agency growth.
- Career development opportunities within the insurance industry.
