Are you limited by product offerings, territory constraints, or shifting employment agreements?
Open to an opportunity to own your crop insurance book without a non-compete?
Open to leaving your current employment situation, but not sure about navigating the legal waters?
Are you motivated by doing the same amount of work, but being paid double for it?
Maybe you’re leaving or retiring and want to be paid appropriately for your book?
If any of this appeals to you, please consider having a brief conversation with us to see if this opportunity might have potential. It can be scary to consider leaving your current situation, given today’s legal landscape. It can also be frustrating to consider leaving the business or retiring and not really owning your book.
Our client was founded on the premise that agents should own their books and to provide a rock solid support team behind them. Today, they write with all the top Approved Insurance Providers in the nation, licensed in 37 states and growing. Prior to starting the company, the founders were agricultural lenders, combining over 100 years of insurance and banking backgrounds.
With this experience in tow, the company is passionate about the importance of crop insurance to the American farmer. Over the years they have become experts in helping agents break free from their current restraints, while providing the necessary support along every step of the process.
If you are in crop insurance sales and consultation today and enjoy the business you’ve built, let’s talk about how we can help you do what you do best--finding, pitching, and servicing farmers with the right product mix. Perhaps you’re considering retirement? Our client can help with that as well as any agencies looking to sell their existing book of crop insurance business.
THE ROLE:
We’re searching for one of three profiles:
