Licensed Insurance Sales Agent
BAYPORT INSURANCE AGENCY IS HIRING IN HAMPTON ROADS
BayPort Insurance Agency, a 11-year old, growing independent insurance agency that is a subsidiary of BayPort Credit Union, is seeking 2 Licensed Insurance Sales Agents to join our team. One opening is for our Newport News, VA office and the other is open to both that office or an office on the southside (VA Beach or Norfolk). If you're sales driven, looking for a way to determine your own income and dislike cold calling, this is the job for you.
We are seeking self-motivated, tech savvy professionals to join our successful insurance division as a Licensed Insurance Sales Agent. Our main markets are personal lines P/C and life products but we are getting more involved in the small business markets also. Our clients are not just credit union members - we sell to anyone living, or owning property, anywhere in VA or NC.
As a Licensed Insurance Sales Agent you will follow up on leads that are generated from all 27 credit union branches and the mortgage lending department, and maintain quality relationships with our current customer base. Agents are expected to build their own prospect base in addition to these leads.
Licensed Insurance Sales Agent Responsibilities:
- Respond to leads, schedule appointments, identify customer needs, and market appropriate insurance products and services.
- Establish customer relationships and follow up with customers, as needed.
- Provide prompt, accurate, and friendly customer service. The majority of policy service activities will be performed by our customer service reps, but your service activities may include responding to inquiries regarding insurance availability, eligibility, coverages, policy changes, transfers, claim submissions, and billing clarification.
- Use a customer-focused, needs-based review process to educate customers about insurance options.
- Document all activities into our Agency Management System – phone calls, interviews, quotes, sales, etc. (You will need to know how to type!)
