About The Position

A company built to serve you. It's your career, Shelter it! We are seeking an exceptional entrepreneur to make a difference in Tracy City, TN and become our newest Shelter Insurance Agent. This role is for individuals who have a desire to meet new people, develop new contacts, and become known in their community. It's for those passionate about serving their community, who want to grow their sales, business, and networking skills to new heights, and who desire to control their own income. This opportunity is ideal for those who have wanted to start their own business but were deterred by extreme start-up costs. At Shelter, we do not require previous background in the insurance industry; while experience is a plus, it is not a necessity. Many new agents have backgrounds ranging from real estate and retail sales to education and coaching. What is required is a motivated attitude, an entrepreneurial spirit, and skilled capacity for effectively communicating with clients in a sales atmosphere. While some sales experience and a degree with general business courses is helpful, our training programs help build the foundation necessary to launch your agency. At Shelter, prospective agents do not need to have capital/assets on hand to be considered for an agency. We provide the opportunity, and the only expectations are that you meet sufficient sales requirements and core business proficiencies. If you are no longer a Shelter agent for any reason, your financial responsibilities are limited to any unsatisfied bills owed through your departure, such as advertising contracts, telephone bills, and utilities. A true business owner’s mindset is required to succeed. While developing prospects and selling Shelter products will be your main focus, you may also have the opportunity to bring on staff to help with general administrative duties and improve sales. If you possess a strong desire to be a business owner, a vigorous passion for helping people, and a desire to work for a company that strives to be a leader in its communities, then explore a partnership with Shelter Insurance Companies. Shelter has one of the top new-agent programs in the insurance industry, and with commitment to hard work, we can help launch your insurance sales career. Shelter Agents receive a tremendous amount of support as they build their business.
