Agent

About the role

We are seeking an exceptional entrepreneur to make a difference in Seymour, IN and become our newest Shelter Insurance Agent. Do you have a desire to meet new people, develop new contacts, and become known in your community? Are you passionate about serving your community? Do you want to grow your sales, business, and networking skills to new heights? Would you like to do what you love and love what you do? Do you have a desire to control your own income? Have you wanted to start your own business but extreme start-up costs stopped you in your tracks? If you answered "yes" to these questions, then you owe it to yourself to learn more about becoming a Shelter Insurance Agent.

What we're looking for

• A motivated attitude
• An entrepreneurial spirit
• Skilled capacity for effectively communicating with clients in a sales atmosphere
• A true business owner's mindset
• A vigorous passion for helping people
• A desire to work for a company that strives to be a leader in its communities

Background and experience

At Shelter, we do not require a previous background in the insurance industry. While the experience is a plus, it is far from a necessity. Around half of our new Shelter Agents have never worked in insurance; our agents have backgrounds ranging from real estate and retail sales to education and coaching. While some sales experience and a degree with general business courses is helpful, our mix of in-house and virtual new agent training schools, paired with continuing industry education courses, helps you build the foundation necessary to launch your agency.

Financial commitment

At Shelter we do not require prospective agents to have capital/assets on hand to be considered for an agency. We do not "sell" agencies and Shelter does not "loan" money to agents to begin their business. We provide the opportunity. The only expectations are that you meet sufficient sales requirements and core business proficiencies. If you are no longer a Shelter agent for any reason, your financial responsibilities are limited to any unsatisfied bills owed through your departure. This could include advertising contracts, telephone bills, and utilities.

Responsibilities

• Developing prospects and selling Shelter products in your agency
• Opportunity to bring on staff to help you perform general administrative duties and improve your sales

Support and benefits

• Unlimited new commissions
• Lucrative bonus and incentive opportunities
• Exceptional contract benefits
• Professional sales training
• Subsidies and office staff reimbursement, if applicable
• Computer and technology support
• A purpose-driven culture that centers on being a leader in and giving back to our communities
• Diversity and inclusion
• Financial strength and stability
