Now Hiring - Insurance Agent in Eau Claire, WI

Job Summary

1 Reason Insurance is seeking outgoing, customer centric sales professionals to join as work-from-home agents. As a 1 Reason Insurance agent, you will build and develop personal lines relationships and depending on your experience, commercial lines and business related services within Wisconsin and some Minnesota. Our primary products include workers’ comp, commercial general liability, commercial auto, accounting/bookkeeping, payroll services, and home and life insurance.

What 1 Reason Insurance provides:

• Viable prospects that want to talk to you. You can cold call if you want, albeit you’ll be so busy following up on the leads we provide, you probably won’t have time. We believe your focus is to talk to people that want to talk to you, not try to convince someone to look at your offer when they’re not in a buying mood.
• The ability to set your hours and days. – If you want to take every Tuesday off, that’s your choice and is perfectly fine. Want to work 20 hours one week and 60 the next? That’s ok too.
• Higher compensation – You’re not wasting your time speaking to people that don’t want to talk about insurance, so you’re selling more. The agency saves money by not having a large expensive office and constantly training in new agents (we're confident once you experience how things can be, you won't want to leave) and shares the savings with you.
• Work from our office or your home once you're trained in and depending on experience.
• CSR support. Our trained CSRs help make your life easier and allow you to spend more time selling instead of maintenance work.
• Great technology – 1 Reason believes technology is the key to efficiency, which creates a better customer experience, higher income for agents, and greater job satisfaction.
• A no pressure sales environment – Receive increasing compensation based on client satisfaction. We don’t use “closing techniques” including creating urgency. Our first priority is to our clients, as is our second and third priority. We believe the best way to build a growing and long lasting book of business is doing what's right for the client.

You’re Expected to Provide:

• An total unwavering commitment to the highest levels of customer service, ethics, integrity, and an attitude of consulting the client first. You’re expected to inform and educate clients, not deliver a sales pitch.
• Excellent written and spoken etiquette.
• Two or more full-time years as a P&C agent (Three plus years if working from home), and able to demonstrate proficiency right out of the gate. We’ll teach you how to use our software, but a complete understanding of the products sold is a requirement due to the nature of working remotely. Designations earned can be used to offset some experience on a case-by-case basis.
• Desire to assist clients in placing appropriate insurance products over the phone or in person at our office, and of course licensed to do so.
• Licensed in WI.

What you're NOT expected to do:

• Cold call all day and hope to find clients that want to speak with you. We perform very little cold calling, it's usually a waste of time unless there's a specific reason to do so and we buy leads in order to avoid wasting time.
• Create urgency or pressure on clients to sell products. Great service and doing the "right thing" feels and pays better.
• Work 9-5 everyday if you don't want to. You can select whatever hours and days that works best for you and your schedule.
• Call every friend and relative you know and ask them to buy insurance. We have plenty of people that want to receive proposals from you, and after your clients experience fantastic service, they'll tell others to talk to you as well.

Compensation:

Unlike most insurance agencies where you're left to make a hundred cold calls a day trying to make a sale and hoping to make a within your first month or two, you'll likely write your first business within a week after training in. With agent commissions above most agencies, you'll also make much more in the long-run too.

Help other agents come on board with mentoring and training? You'll receive an override that may exceed your own commission from production. Unlike other agencies that only say "thanks," 1 Reason shares compensation with agents that bring on others. The flexibility allows any agent to self-track into a management position at their own pace and as actively as desired. You don't have to wait for a management position to open up, you can create your own.
