Job description

The role of Insurance Sales Agent offers a dynamic and rewarding opportunity for individuals passionate about delivering exceptional service and tailored insurance solutions. As part of a reputable insurance agency in Madison, AL, this full-time position is designed for individuals who are licensed and experienced in the insurance sector, with a focus on both Property & Casualty (P&C) and Life & Health (L&H) insurance products. This role is ideal for professionals seeking to build lasting relationships with clients, strategically match insurance products to customer needs, and contribute to the ongoing success and growth of the agency.

Insurance Sales Agents play a crucial role in developing leads, scheduling appointments, and identifying the unique needs of each customer. By marketing appropriate products and services, Insurance Sales Agents ensure that customers are well-informed and confident in their insurance choices. The position requires a proactive approach to relationship‑building, following up diligently with clients, and providing prompt, accurate, and friendly customer service. Responsibilities encompass responding to inquiries regarding insurance coverage, eligibility, policy changes, transfers, claim submissions, and billing clarification, ensuring customers receive clear and timely support at every step.

Joining the team as an Insurance Sales Agent means working in a supportive, growth‑oriented environment where your contributions are valued. The agency is committed to empowering its team members to reach their full potential, offering valuable experience and opportunities for advancement within the office. The position provides a competitive compensation structure, including a base salary plus commission and bonuses, as well as paid time off for vacation, personal, and sick days. Team members benefit from exposure to best practices in the insurance industry and are encouraged to pursue continuous professional development.

To excel as an Insurance Sales Agent, candidates should demonstrate a successful track record in insurance sales, preferably holding current Property & Casualty and Life & Health licenses. Strong candidates will have prior experience in sales roles—whether in outside sales, inside sales, retail, or telemarketing—and exhibit excellent written, verbal, and listening communication skills. Self‑motivation, the ability to multitask effectively, and a genuine ability to relate to customers are essential attributes for success in this role. Candidates must either possess or be able to obtain the necessary state licensing for Property & Casualty and Life & Health insurance.

Insurance Sales Agents are employed by independent contractor agents, not directly by State Farm Insurance Companies. Employees must complete all applicable licensing requirements and training programs. Independent contractor agents are responsible for hiring and managing their own teams. Employment in this role offers a unique chance to make a positive impact on customers' lives while building a rewarding and sustainable career in the insurance industry. Working in Madison, AL, provides an opportunity to serve a vibrant and growing community, contributing to both individual and team achievements.
