Entry Level Sales Representative

Everyone starts somewhere, and this is a strong place to begin a sales career. As an entry level representative you will work remotely for an established insurance brand, meeting union members, veterans and their families across the United States and Canada on video and helping them choose benefit programs that protect the people they care about.

You will not be expected to know the industry on day one. Leads, training, technology and continuing support are all provided, and your regional manager helps you set the pace. The qualities that matter most are organization and the self-discipline to manage a working day from home.

First-year earnings are estimated at $67,000 to $70,000, depending on your individual sales performance.

Your role in practice

• Following up with company-provided leads and setting up virtual benefit consultations
• Leading those consultations on Zoom
• Explaining each available program clearly, so every enrollment decision is an informed one
• Building relationships with union members, veterans, working families and people from established partner organizations
• Working toward clear activity and performance goals agreed with your regional manager

Why it is a good first step

• 100% remote, so your home is your office
• No traditional cold calling, because leads are supplied
• Commission-only income with a strong bonus on top
• Renewal commissions that can grow into long-term income as your client base grows
• Medical, dental and prescription benefits
• Opportunities to earn stock options
• Comprehensive training from the ground up, plus licensing support

Who succeeds at entry level

No insurance experience is required, since the training covers what you need to know. Representatives who progress quickly are open to feedback, dependable from week to week, and comfortable holding a conversation with clients.

This could be the right start if you:

• Communicate well in writing, over the phone and in video meetings
• Find it satisfying to help someone understand a financial or benefit decision
• Can organize your own time and stay productive without close supervision
• Have basic computer skills and feel comfortable using Zoom
• Bring any people-facing experience, such as a first job in sales, customer service, hospitality or recruiting

Licensing and eligibility

The role requires the life-insurance license for your state or province, which you can already hold or work toward after joining. If you are unlicensed, we will explain the licensing process and help you pick a suitable way to complete it. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States or Canada.
