This is an unlicensed sales position. Candidates who currently hold an insurance license will not be considered.

• Handle and overcome objections, hesitation, and stalls to move qualified customers forward.
• Maintain conversational engagement and avoid unnecessary pauses or dead air.
• Follow heavily scripted conversations, processes, and instructions accurately while keeping conversations natural.
• Meet or exceed transfer goals and other performance-based KPIs.
• Accept coaching and demonstrate the ability to apply feedback.
• Adapt to changes and remain productive in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

Qualifications:  

• High school diploma or equivalent required.

• Strong verbal communication, active listening, and reading comprehension skills.

• Ability to communicate clearly, confidently, and conversationally over the phone.

• Ability to think on your feet and respond appropriately to customer concerns.

• Comfortable handling rejection and overcoming objections.

• Competitive, goal-oriented, and motivated by measurable results.

• Previous sales, call center, inside sales, or other performance-based customer-facing experience preferred.
