What are the responsibilities and job description for the Commercial Producer position at Steffens Insurance Group Inc?
Steffens Insurance Group has been writing commercial accounts in southeastern Wisconsin for nearly four decades. We’re a locally owned independent agency — not a captive, not a franchise. The clients are businesses in this market: contractors, manufacturers, property owners, and local professional services firms. Some of them have been with this agency long enough that we now ensure the next generation of the same company.
We’re hiring a Commercial Producer to build a book, not maintain someone else’s. That means getting in front of business owners, developing proposals, and closing new commercial accounts while keeping what’s already on the books.
What This Role Actually Is
You’re responsible for new business development. That means prospecting from scratch — referrals, direct outreach to target industries, working your network. You survey prospects, pull together the risk and underwriting information, work with our markets, and close. When you write a new account, you hand it to the service team. They handle the day-to-day. You stay focused on the next one.
Renewals are part of the job, too. You stay involved when they matter — large accounts, contested renewals, clients who need a producer-level conversation — but service work stays with the service team.
Who This Is For
You have an active Wisconsin P&C license and at least three years in sales. You know what a production goal looks like, and you’ve hit one. You’re comfortable calling on business owners. You build your own pipeline — nobody hands you a list to work.
This is not for someone who wants a service role with a producer title. The comp is commission-weighted because the upside is real — but only if you’re actually closing.
