Job Description

Build a Career, Not Just Another Job

Are you outgoing, competitive, and energized by talking with people? Do you enjoy setting goals, learning new skills, and being rewarded for your performance?

If so, Ironwood Insurance Agency may be the perfect place to launch your career.

We are one of the fastest-growing Farmers Insurance agencies in California and are looking for an exceptional Sales Development Representative (SDR) to join our team.

This is not a typical call center position.

As an SDR, you'll become the first impression of our agency by speaking with prospective clients, identifying their insurance needs, and connecting qualified customers with our licensed insurance professionals. Your work directly impacts the growth of our agency while creating unlimited opportunities for your own professional development.

No insurance experience is required. We provide comprehensive training, proven sales systems, daily coaching, and ongoing mentorship to help you become successful.

We're looking for someone who is positive, coachable, confident on the phone, and motivated by achieving goals. If you enjoy talking with people, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and want a career where your income reflects your effort, we'd love to meet you.

Compensation

We believe exceptional performance deserves exceptional rewards.

This position includes:

• Competitive full-time base pay
• $15 bonus for every qualified live transfer
• Additional $35 bonus for every transfer that results in a bound policy
• Uncapped performance incentives
• Paid training
• Career advancement opportunities

Compensation: $39,000 base salary + uncapped bonuses

Expected first-year earnings: $90,000-$100,000+

Top performers: $140,000+ annually

High-performing SDRs have the opportunity to earn well above their base salary while developing skills that can lead to future positions as Licensed Insurance Producers, Commercial Specialists, Customer Success Representatives, or Sales Leaders.

At Ironwood Insurance, we don't just hire employees—we develop professionals.
