Territory Sales Partner - Milwaukee, WI
Trupanion is a leading provider of medical insurance for cats and dogs in North America. Our mission is to help loving, responsible pet owners budget and care for their pets. We offer a collaborative, casual, and pet-friendly environment where everyone is encouraged to be themselves.
About the role
This opportunity is for an entrepreneur interested in purchasing and operating an established Trupanion Territory within the Milwaukee, WI market. The future Territory Partner will operate as an independent business owner contracted to represent Trupanion within the region. This territory has 310 hospitals with 75 already partnered with our portal, and plenty of room to grow.
Historically, pet owners have paid for veterinary care with discretionary income, savings, credit cards, or other loans. Medical care for a pet sometimes involves sophisticated and costly treatments that are out of reach for many owners. Those without medical coverage may be forced to choose less expensive, sub-standard alternatives. This puts veterinarians in the position of having to determine treatment options based on an owner’s finances.
Pet owners in the United States and Canada collectively own approximately 180 million dogs and cats and less than 3% have medical coverage for their pets. Hospitals see a benefit in their bottom line when they have a client base that can pay for treatments that may otherwise be out of their financial means. Trupanion's dedication provides a solid foundation for the success of our Territory Partners, who reap the rewards of pets that stay enrolled through residual income.
