About The Position

The Personal Lines Sales Agent at Davis Insurance Associates, Inc. is responsible for helping prospective clients find the right personal insurance coverage while growing the agency through new business sales. This position focuses primarily on home, auto, umbrella, flood, and other personal insurance products. The ideal candidate is motivated, personable, organized, comfortable with technology, and able to guide clients through the insurance buying process from initial conversation through binding coverage. This is a sales position, but we believe good insurance sales starts with listening to the client, understanding their needs, explaining coverage clearly, and recommending appropriate options rather than simply trying to sell the lowest-priced policy.

Personal lines insurance experience is strongly preferred, but we are willing to consider candidates with a strong sales background and the ability to learn insurance quickly.
Previous experience quoting and selling homeowners and auto insurance is a plus.
