About The Position

Kemper is hiring a full-time Life Insurance Sales Agent in a field role serving customers in Moulton, Alabama. Agents serve modest-income families through frequent personal visits to new and existing customers, collecting premiums, selling policies, and addressing service needs. New unlicensed agents receive paid training and tools and guidance to prepare for licensing exams. After becoming licensed, agents receive an existing book of business and earn a percentage of collected premiums as well as commissions on new sales. Compensation is performance-based, and strong performance may be recognized with awards, prizes, and company-sponsored trips. New agents complete an onboarding development program that includes self-study, classroom instruction, field mentoring by a Sales Manager, and hands-on, paid on-the-job training. The role offers the opportunity to develop insurance and sales skills while helping customers protect the people and property they value.
