About The Position

Kemper is one of the nation’s leading specialized insurers, with a history spanning over 100 years, 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, a full-time field position. For new unlicensed agents, the journey begins with a paid training period where Kemper provides the tools and guidance needed 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 monthly premiums will be collected. Agents earn a percentage of collected premiums and a commission on all new sales. This pay-for-performance compensation model allows agents to determine their own paycheck, with potential for increased income through hard work and dedication. 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.
