Protection Specialist

Wade Johnson Farmers Insurance
Watertown, SD Full Time
POSTED ON 4/16/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/15/2026

Job Overview

True North Insurance Agency isn't just hiring — we're building.


We're looking for motivated, coachable individuals who want to learn, grow, and build something meaningful — not just fill a role.


You don't need years of experience to succeed here. In fact, we often prefer people who are early in their career or new to the industry — people who are open to learning the right way from the start, without having to unlearn old habits.


If you're competitive, people-focused, and willing to put in the work, we'll give you the structure, training, and support to build real momentum.


Our agency runs on clear systems, accountability, and a compensation model that rewards performance — not tenure. This isn't a place to sit back and hope it works. It's a place to grow, develop, and take ownership of your results.


Remote flexibility is available for the right person — someone who shows up consistently, takes initiative, and follows through.


Salary Range: $50,000.00 - $70,000.00 per year

Requirements

What We're Looking For

  • Self-starters. You don't wait to be told what to do — you recognize opportunity and act on it. You communicate clearly, build trust quickly, and are comfortable leading conversations.
  • Coachable and driven. You're open to feedback, willing to learn, and focused on improving your performance over time.
  • Goal-oriented. You care about results and take ownership of your performance, while keeping the client's needs at the center of what you do.
  • Organized and accountable. You manage your pipeline, follow up consistently, and stay on top of your work without needing constant direction.
  • Sales experience helps — but isn't required. If you bring the right mindset, work ethic, and willingness to learn, we'll provide the structure and training to set you up for success.

Responsibilities

What You'll Do

  • Build real relationships. Connect with clients, understand what matters to them, and design coverage that fits their lives — not just a policy.
  • Create momentum. Prospect for new opportunities, generate referrals, and consistently build a strong, active pipeline.
  • Lead confident coverage conversations. Educate clients in plain terms, walk them through their options, and recommend solutions that make sense — not just what's easiest to sell.
  • Stay sharp. Keep up with products, underwriting guidelines, and compliance standards so you can operate at a high level.
  • Work as a team. Collaborate with account managers and leadership to deliver a smooth experience from first quote through renewal — because retention matters just as much as production.
