Farmers Protege

Meredith Insurance Agency is looking for a motivated insurance professional who wants more than just another sales job. This is an opportunity to enter the Farmers Insurance Protg Program, develop the skills needed to operate a successful insurance business, and work toward becoming a Farmers Insurance Agent and agency owner.

As a Protg, you will work directly inside an active insurance agency and receive hands-on experience in sales, customer relationships, lead management, retention, cross-selling, agency operations, and business development.

The goal is bigger than becoming a great producer. We are looking for someone who wants to learn how to BUILD and eventually OWN an insurance agency.

Farmers Agents may also have access to brokerage opportunities through Kraft Lake Insurance Agency, a Farmers company, subject to eligibility and carrier requirements. This provides the opportunity to represent Farmers while also having access to additional insurance markets when appropriate for clients.

If you've ever thought, "I want my own insurance agency, but I need the opportunity to learn how to build one," this opportunity is designed for you.
