Insurance Agent (Protege Program)

Job Description

Are you an experienced, licensed insurance professional who wants more than just another sales role?

The Farmers Insurance Protege Program through Elder Agency is designed for ambitious individuals who want to eventually own and operate their own successful insurance agency, with mentorship, structure, and real-world training along the way.

This is not an entry-level position and not a shortcut to ownership. It’s a hands-on business development program built for motivated professionals who are serious about growth, leadership, and long-term income potential.

At Elder Agency, we’re passionate about developing future agency owners, not just employees. Our culture is competitive, growth-focused, supportive, and team-oriented. We believe in accountability, mentorship, and helping driven individuals create real opportunities for themselves and their future.

What Makes This Opportunity Different?

Unlike traditional insurance jobs, this program gives you the opportunity to:

• Learn directly from a high-performing, award-winning agency
• Build real-world agency ownership experience
• Develop leadership and operational skills
• Grow your income based on performance
• Prepare to launch and scale your own agency

You won’t just learn how to sell insurance, you’ll learn how to build and run a business.

What you’ll learn throughout the six-month program (or less), Proteges receive hands-on coaching and development in:

Advanced sales strategies and production discipline

Multi-line consultative selling

Client retention and relationship management

Team leadership, hiring, and staff development

Agency operations and business planning

Growth strategy and activity management

Underwriting, compliance, and operational expectations

This opportunity is ideal for licensed insurance professionals who:

• Want ownership, not just a paycheck
• Are highly motivated and growth-minded
• Thrive in competitive, performance-driven environments
• Want mentorship and accountability
• Are excited by leadership and long-term earning potential
• Want to build something meaningful and lasting

At Elder Agency, we believe culture matters just as much as production.

We work hard, celebrate wins, support each other, and create an environment where motivated people can grow personally and professionally. We’re building a team of driven individuals who want to level up their careers, push themselves, and create long-term success.

We value:

• Accountability
• Positivity
• Coachability
• Teamwork
• Leadership
• Competitive energy
• Personal growth
• Growth & Earning Potential

This program is designed to prepare you for long-term agency ownership and scalable income opportunities.

Your growth is tied directly to your effort, consistency, leadership, and production. The individuals who fully commit to the process have the opportunity to build a highly profitable business with long-term residual income potential.
