Entry Level Insurance Sales Representative

Altitude Group has enjoyed nearly a decade of double-digit growth in new sales, and as we continue to grow, one of our top-producing sales teams is looking to add a bold salesperson and leader to our team! We are seeking the type of person who has superior self-awareness, a high level of integrity, and a strong personality who wants to lead from the front.

Our Ideal Candidate

• Tough-minded, confident, purposeful, and goal-driven
• Skilled at overcoming objections and asking for the sale, not afraid of rejection
• Willing to dedicate 45-50 hours per week to this position
• Able to work independently regularly with little to no oversight
• Cares about producing outstanding results
• Desires an active leadership role within a dynamic, competitive team
• Sharp, intuitive, and able to master systems and processes quickly
• "See a need, meet a need" mentality
• Excellent at coaching, teaching, and inspiring others

The Role

Your immediate primary goal is to thoughtfully connect with business owners and key decision-makers at small and medium-sized businesses within your sales territory through in-person sales calls. You will not be required to report to an office; instead, you will spend most of your day out and about, working in your territory, building rapport with potential clients, and offering some of the best supplemental benefits plans in the industry to your clients through product presentations. You will be expected to present to clients and close sales at an initial meeting, or set an appointment to return and close the sale at a future date.

Potentially fast-tracked into a Sales Team Lead position upon mastering our basic sales processes and systems and achieving certain key sales metrics out in the sales field. A background in college-level or higher athletics, military, bartending or a similar service industry, or simply a proven track record of outstanding performance and promotability in a chosen career field is preferred (but not required). In addition to making sales, you will set sales appointments, close sales, report daily and weekly sales metrics, set up your weekly schedule with goals in advance each week, and participate in all sales team meetings as necessary. May earn lucrative pay and training bonuses for training and leading new sales reps well.

Our #1 priority is finding someone who aligns with our culture and our mission, which is to provide a career environment that brings out the best in our people and empowers them to build careers here which support the things that are the most important to them. The most indispensable quality we're looking for is someone who is a hard charger, a go-getter, and who is only interested in being a key player and leader who leads from the front, rather than some manager pushing the team from the back. If any of this sounds like you, we're eager to speak with you!
