Insurance Agent

Overview
Insurance Center of Buffalo has an opening for an Insurance Agent, specializing in Business Insurance! Being awarded a Best Practices Agency every year since 2019, you will get to work with one of the nation's leading insurance agencies. In this role, you will actively engage with businesses to understand their insurance needs, provide tailored solutions, and build lasting relationships. Your enthusiasm and communication skills will drive success as you navigate the exciting world of insurance sales, offering a variety of coverage options to meet diverse client needs. Whether you're experienced in outside sales or eager to develop your skills, this position offers a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful impact while advancing your career.

Duties

• Engage with potential business clients through outside sales efforts, including networking and community outreach, to generate new insurance leads.
• Conduct thorough analysis of client needs to recommend appropriate insurance products such as business liability, workers compensation, property or life insurance, and cross-sell to the personal insurance and group benefits departments.
• Educate clients on policy coverages and premiums, ensuring their insurance aligns with their business and financial goals.
• Work closely with our Commercial Insurance Account Manager, and assist in servicing areas where needed, including processing applications, maintaining accurate records, and following up on policy renewals.
• Collaborate with marketing teams to promote insurance products through various channels and outreach strategies.
• Provide exceptional customer service by addressing client inquiries promptly and assisting with servicing when needed.

We expect you to have:

A minimum of 1 year experience in sales or an office setting; we would like to hear about your success in meeting sales quotas and your plan for growth in sales.

This position demands that you have excellent communication, organizational and time management skills along with superb interpersonal skills and experience in building relationships – both with clients and team members. You must be highly comfortable with client interaction via phone, email and in person, and exhibit strong customer relationship skills with the highest level of professionalism.

Our team members rave about our positive culture, and there's a reason why:

We hire passionate team players. This means when a colleague or client asks, "Can someone help me with...?" you're quick to answer "Yes." We hire go-getters. This means you understand how to lend a hand where necessary and are flexible in a fast-paced work environment. We hire problem solvers. This means that you think outside of the box and try your very best to resolve issues on your own. You take initiative and 'own' the situation. We hire excellence. This means you deliver results with little supervision and do not hesitate to acknowledge, own, and resolve errors you have made (we all make them, we must learn from them).

Does it sound like you?

We hire self-motivated people and provide them with exceptional opportunities for development through on-the-job learning and benefits such as licensing and continuing education reimbursement. From health insurance and health savings accounts to 401K (we contribute even if you do not!), we also offer a 35-hour work week with one hour lunch breaks, 11 paid holidays, unlimited PTO, and a shortened work week (1/2-day Fridays for everyone!). As an active member of Buffalo and the surrounding community, you will have several opportunities throughout the year to volunteer and give back. If you are interested in joining the team, please submit your application. We look forward to speaking with you soon!
