ABOUT INSURANCE AGENCY

Insurance Agency is

We don't sell. We educate and advise. Our clients trust us because we take a consultative, coverage-first approach — explaining what they're buying, why it matters, and what the trade-offs are.

THE ROLE — 100% WARM, ZERO PROSPECTING

This is not a hunting job. There is no cold calling, no cold emailing, no door knocking, and no working a list of purchased or scraped internet leads. We don't even hand you cold Google leads. Every single account you work comes to you already warm — a referral from an existing client, a referral partner, or someone already in our pipeline who wants to talk to us.

Your job is to close and take care of the business that's already coming through the door, not to go find it. You'll spend your day on the phone, on Zoom, and in email — running quotes, walking warm prospects and referrals through their options, and writing new business across personal lines, commercial, and life.

This is a great fit for someone who loves helping people, communicates clearly, and finds satisfaction in doing the homework to get a recommendation right. If you're looking for a high-pressure, smile-and-dial boiler room, this isn't it — we don't run one. If you want to build a real career educating clients and being part of a tight, mission-driven team, keep reading.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Respond promptly to inbound referrals, warm leads, and quote requests — no outbound prospecting, ever
• Gather information, run quotes across multiple carriers, and present options in plain English
• Educate clients on coverage — what's included, what's excluded, and what's appropriate for their situation
• Write new personal lines, commercial, and life policies
• Round accounts and identify cross-sell opportunities for existing clients
• Follow up consistently and keep your pipeline organized in our agency management system
• Build relationships with referral partners and clients so they keep referring their friends, family, and coworkers
• Coordinate with our service team for smooth handoffs after the sale

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Strong communicator — clear on the phone, polished in writing, comfortable on video
• Honest, dependable, and coachable
• Naturally curious and willing to learn the technical side of coverage
• Organized enough to follow up without dropping the ball
• Comfortable with technology (CRM, agency management systems, email, video)
• Aligned with our values — service-first, integrity, treating people the way you'd want to be treated
• High school diploma or equivalent and insurance experience and a Tennessee Property & Casualty (and/or Life) license are required

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive base salary + commission
• A 100% warm book — every account is a referral, never a cold lead, never a cold call
• Training, coaching, mentoring, and licensing sponsorship if you're not yet licensed
• Paid time off and holidays
• A genuine work-life balance (we mean it)
• A small-team culture where your work is seen and your voice is heard
• The chance to do meaningful work for clients and neighbors here in Chattanooga
• Long-term career path within a growing independent agency

Benefits:

• 401(k) matching
• Dental insurance
• Paid time off
• Paid training
• Vision insurance

Experience:
