Position Overview

Our Client Advisors bring risk management solutions to both businesses and individuals.  Your primary focus will be on prospecting / identifying, cultivating, and closing new commercial clients (small, medium, large) leveraging our unique niche (that we look forward to sharing with you.) While your focus is selling commercial lines risk solutions, you are also empowered to help with their personal lines insurance needs. In fact, World's investments in risk management solutions means that there is not one prospective client that you would not be able to help.  You will never have to say "no -sorry, I am unable to help you!"  Imagine the potential.

Qualifications

• Previous sales experience selling solutions to business owners
• Previous insurance experience can be helpful but is not required - some of our very best Client Advisors came from other industries
• While a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience is preferred, not having completed a Bachelor's degree does not stop some top sales people.  If you love to sell and you are a proven producer who is comfortable pitching to diverse populations of business leaders, then lets talk - we want to hear from you.
• While having your relevant Insurance licenses can definitely help (and will make your transition easier, as well as accelerate your success) we can still talk and devise a plan to get you licensed as quickly as possible.
• The most important ingredients for success: If you are "humble and hungry" and enjoy the thrill of the hunt, then you will love this opportunity building and growing a new market for World.  The person we hire is going to enjoy an incredible run with us.
