Join Our Team at True North Group
Position Title: Entry-Level Sales Representative
Open Role: 1 Territory, Outside Sales Opportunity
About Us:
True North Group isn't just another insurance agency; We prioritize genuine relationships, outstanding service, and a positive work environment on a mission to protect small and mid-sized businesses and their employees. If you're eager to jumpstart a career where you can learn, grow, and make a difference, read on.
The Role:
As our newest Entry-Level Sales Representative, you'll be the face of True North in your assigned territory. You'll set your own appointments and craft a schedule that fits the rhythms of the local business community. Every day you'll:
- Engage with Business Owners: Visit storefronts, offices, and industrial parks to connect with decision-makers. Your goal is to understand their needs and introduce them to insurance solutions that protect their teams.
- Deliver Informative Presentations: Lead open-forum sessions for employee groups (anywhere from 15 to 75 people), explaining benefit packages in an easy-to-understand way.
- Provide Ongoing Support: From answering questions about coverage details to guiding clients through a claim, you'll become a trusted advisor who businesses rely on.
- Leverage Technology: Use Salesforce CRM to log client interactions, track follow-ups, and manage your pipeline - keeping everything organized and efficient.
- Prospect and Grow: Cold-call new prospects, follow up on leads, and ask satisfied customers for referrals. You'll be proactive, resourceful, and ready to explore every avenue to expand your book of business.
- Report and Collaborate: Share your weekly activity reports - calls made, meetings held, policies quoted with your manager during team huddles. Your insights help us all improve.
What we look for:
- Hungry to Learn: You might be new to sales, and that's perfectly fine. We'll train you from the ground up, so any drive to learn quickly will serve you well.
- People Person: You genuinely enjoy talking to others, asking questions, and listening carefully. Whether chatting one-on-one or speaking in front of a group, you communicate clearly and confidently.
- Organized & Self-Driven: Managing your own schedule in the field means you need strong organizational skills and a "get-it-done" mindset.
- Service-Oriented: You take pride in making others feel cared for. When a client has a concern or question, you're the one they trust to find answers.
- License-Ready: You either hold a Health & Life general lines license or are willing to get it within 90 days. Licensing reimbursement available.
What We Offer You
- Hands-On Training: We combine virtual classrooms with in-field shadowing to teach you everything - from product knowledge to presentation best practices.
- Weekly Draw Pay: A guaranteed base while you build your territory, plus immediate eligibility for bonuses and commissions.
- Exciting Incentives: Quarterly incentive retreats, annual trips, cash bonuses, stock awards, and lifelong renewal commissions once you qualify.
- Climb the Ladder: Proven career paths await - whether you aspire to become a team leader, a field coach, or advance into agency management.
- Continuous Development: Regular coaching sessions, sales workshops, and leadership training help you stay sharp and elevate your game.
- Flexible Hours: As your client list grows, you'll have more control over your day. Work when local businesses are open and still enjoy evenings or weekends off.
Additional Qualifications
- Education or Experience: A bachelor's degree is a plus, but if you've spent at least four years in a customer-facing environment (retail, hospitality, another sales role), we want to hear from you. Recent graduates are encouraged to apply.
- Tech Comfort: You're comfortable learning new software - Salesforce and other digital tools come naturally to you.
- Motivation & Grit: You're coachable and thrive in a self-directed environment. Building a territory from scratch isn't easy, but the rewards are well worth it.
Licensing Commitment:
If you're not already licensed in Health & Life general lines, you commit to obtaining that license within three months. We take care of tuition and exam fees.
