Insurance Sales Agent / Agency Owner Role Summary:

We are rapidly growing operations in southeast Michigan and offering a lucrative pathway into one of the most profitable industries in the U.S. Best part is that you do NOT need any insurance experience. We will provide the tools, training, resources, and environment required to become a highly successful Agency Owner.

You will join a team of business owners representing a Michigan-owned and operated company with a business model that maximizes cash flow and residual income opportunities while providing the financial support to grow rapidly. You will become a trusted advisor in your community, inspiring the dreams of your clients by helping them protect what matters most. You will be in business for yourself, but not by yourself with business and peer coaching from successful Agents and Managing Partners. Our New Agent Development program is designed to provide you the freedom to earn while you learn and develop into your career.

We have seen people from all backgrounds do very well in this industry and a large portion of that is due to the training and assistance we provide. You are in control of all the aspects of the business, you work your own hours and all with our help and guidance. Why not work towards a legacy (income) that you will be able to pass down to your children, grandchildren and future generations one day?

  • Expand and manage your team of sales professionals and customer service representatives to increase your book of business and ensure effective account service
