Position Overview
Do you enjoy helping people? Are you looking for more than just another sales job? If so, working for a State Farm agent in a long term and stable position may be the career for you!
About Me
- I believe strongly in investing in my team.
- Before becoming a State Farm agent, I spent nine years as a team member myself. I understand what it's like to sit on your side of the desk, learn the business, develop sales skills, and build a career in this industry. That experience has shaped the way I run my agency. My goal isn't simply to hire someone to fill a position. I want to help the right person develop their skills, become highly successful, and build a long-term career.
- You'll receive hands-on coaching along with proven sales systems and processes developed through more than 25 years of insurance industry experience.

What You'll Do
- Build relationships with prospective customers and develop new business for the agency.
- Conduct customer-focused, needs-based conversations to identify insurance and financial service needs.
- Educate customers about appropriate insurance options rather than simply selling individual products.
- Follow up consistently with prospects and customers using established agency sales processes.
- Provide prompt, accurate and friendly service when assisting customers with coverage questions, billing, policy changes and other needs.
- Use proven agency systems and processes to manage opportunities and follow-up.
- Work toward individual and agency sales goals while contributing to a positive team environment.
- Take ownership of your results and bring a strong work ethic to the office every day.

This position is with a State Farm independent contractor agent, not with State Farm Insurance Companies. Employees of State Farm agents must be able to successfully complete any applicable licensing requirements and training programs.
By accepting this position, you are not guaranteed an agency position with State Farm Insurance Companies. As an agent team member, you will still need to go through the regular State Farm agent selection process when you are ready to pursue an agency opportunity. State Farm agents are independent contractors who hire their own employees. State Farm agents’ employees are not employees of State Farm.
