We are seeking a confident, emotionally intelligent Outside Sales Professional to serve as the first point of contact for property owners impacted by significant losses (typically $500K–$10M+). This is a high-impact, field-based sales role that requires someone who thrives on being in the community, engaging directly with property owners, and building trust quickly in high-stakes situations.

• Translate complex insurance and policy language into clear, actionable strategies for clients.

Qualifications

• Proven success in outside sales, ideally in restoration, construction, remediation, or insurance-related industries.
• Strong relationship-building and negotiation skills; ability to gain trust under pressure.
• High emotional intelligence with the ability to balance empathy and assertiveness.
• Resilient, self-motivated, and comfortable working independently.
• Excellent communication and critical thinking abilities.
• Familiarity with insurance claims or property loss scenarios is a plus (training provided).
