We don't need someone to answer the phone. We need someone to close it.
Andy Cortez Insurance Agency is one of Santa Maria's fastest-growing Farmers Insurance offices and we're building a sales team that wants to win. If you're the kind of person who gets energized by a warm lead, can build rapport in 30 seconds, and isn't afraid to ask for the sale, keep reading.
What you'll earn:
$20/hour base you're covered while you build your book
Commission on every policy you bind no cap, no ceiling
Realistic path to $50,000$75,000+ your first full year if you produce
Top performers earn more. Simple as that.
What makes this different:
Our service team handles renewals, endorsements, and billing so you never get pulled off the phones to babysit a policy change. Your one job is new sales. We give you the leads, the tools, and the training. You bring the drive.
This is NOT the right fit if you:
Prefer processing work over selling
Want a low-accountability, slow-paced environment
Can't handle hearing "no" and trying again
This IS the right fit if you:
Thrive in a fast-moving, high-activity sales environment
Know how to move a hesitant prospect to a decision
Want your paycheck to reflect what you actually produce
Are coachable and hungry to grow
