23h•Onsite

About The Position

Kemper is one of the nation’s leading specialized insurers with over 100 years in business, firmly committed to serving the insurance needs of modest-income families. The company's strength lies in its dedication to frequent personal home visits with new and existing customers to collect premiums, conduct sales of new policies, and address other service needs. This role is for a Life Insurance Sales Agent. For new unlicensed agents, the journey begins with a paid training period where tools and guidance are provided to study for and pass the licensing exams. Once licensed, agents are assigned an existing book of business, a portfolio of current customers from whom they’ll collect monthly premiums. Agents earn a percentage of collected premiums and a commission on all new sales. The compensation model is pay-for-performance, offering the opportunity to determine one's own paycheck and increase monthly income with every new sale. Superior performance is recognized through awards, prizes, and company-sponsored trips. Agents gain personal satisfaction and community prestige by performing meaningful work that helps clients protect the people and property they cherish.
