Beth Bettger State Farm is a neighborhood agency rooted in the Cerritos, CA community. We are hiring a Business Development Representative who wants to grow a sales practice among the people they live near — neighbors, local business owners, and families whose lives we are part of every day. This is local sales with real relationships at the center.

You Will Do Well Here If You

• Want to build a professional skill you can grow with for years
• Like being paid for what you produce
• Can pick up the phone and talk with someone who was not expecting your call

This Probably Is Not Your Role If You

• Would rather answer incoming calls than make outgoing ones

Qualifications

• Self-starter who follows up without being reminded
• Ready to complete required state insurance licensing
• Takes coaching well and collaborates easily with the agency team
• Confident and clear on the phone, including with people you have never spoken to

Benefits

Pay range: $65,000-$85,000 per year

This range reflects expected total compensation—including base salary, commissions, and bonuses—when performance goals are met. Base salary varies based on experience and licensing. Commissions are uncapped, and high performers regularly exceed this range.
