We are a locally owned American Family Insurance agency seeking a Sales Specialist to help grow our agency through consistent, ethical, and performance‑driven sales.

This is a goal‑oriented role for individuals who want to build a long‑term career, not just a short‑term sales job.

What You’ll Do

• Sell insurance products including Auto, Home, Renters, Umbrella, and Life
• Meet clearly defined monthly production goals
• Educate customers on coverage, not just price
• Build quality business that retains and renews
• Follow underwriting guidelines and compliance standards

What We’re Looking For

• Self‑motivated and accountable
• Team player that understands roles and goals
• Comfortable with goals and performance tracking
• Coachable and open to feedback
• Honest, professional, and detail‑oriented
• Long‑term mindset focused on growth

What This Role Is (and Is Not)

This role IS:

• Structured and performance‑based
• Supported by coaching and clear expectations
• Designed to build renewal income over time for the ISA

This role is NOT:

• A guaranteed‑pay or “clock‑in, clock‑out” job
• A call‑center environment
• A place to cut corners to close sales

Compensation & Growth

• Monthly base stipend
• Tiered commission based on production
• Renewal income tied to quality business
• Bonus opportunities
• Clear path to higher earnings through consistency and performance
