About The Position

Kemper is hiring a full-time Life Insurance Sales Agent in a field role serving modest-income families. New, unlicensed agents receive paid training, study tools, and guidance to prepare for and pass licensing exams. After licensing, agents are assigned an established territory and book of current customers. Compensation is performance-based: agents earn a percentage of collected premiums and commissions on new sales, with the opportunity to increase income through sales and strong performance. The role involves frequent personal visits to customers’ homes and meaningful work helping clients protect the people and property they value. New agents complete an onboarding development program that includes self-study, classroom instruction, and field mentoring by a Sales Manager. Agents earn a paycheck while learning through hands-on experience. Strong performance may be recognized through awards, prizes, and company-sponsored trips.
