Now Hiring - Associate Insurance Agent in Watseka, IL

If you're motivated by helping others achieve their goals, you enjoy problem-solving, and are good with both people AND numbers, and you have a proven track record of prior sales experience, you might be a good fit on our team.

We're a growing insurance and financial services practice contracted with COUNTRY Financial, seeking candidates to fill a full-time Associate Agent position in our office. We are in our 17th year in Watseka. We are licensed in the states of IL and IN with a local focus on Iroquois County and counties immediately surrounding.

Duties include identifying and engaging quality prospective clients and identifying and presenting insurance solutions that fit their needs. Our target markets include home owners, farm owners, and small business owners.

Our success and our clients' success hinges on relationship-based sales and service.

REQUIRED:

• A proven track record of prior sales experience.
• A clear criminal and consumer background check.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills.

Prior insurance experience is not required, though it is a plus.

Familiarity with farming is plus.

Personal lines of home, auto, and liability insurance will be the emphasis with an opportunity to expand into farm insurance and commercial lines of business.
