Business Development Representative
Job Description
Farmers Insurance - Northwest District is looking for a motivated and dynamic individual to join our team as a Business Development Representative to work out of one of our thriving agencies. If you thrive in a fastpaced, goaloriented environment and enjoy connecting with people to drive new business, this role is for you.
We provide a unique, structured 12-month Agency Mentorship Program designed for driven individuals who want to learn exactly what it takes to successfully run a business before launching one of your own.
Working directly alongside an experienced mentor agent, you will gain hands-on experience in agency operations, marketing, sales pipeline management, and team leadership. In this role, you will start as a Business Development Representative with a pathway to running your own agency.
As you successfully grow through the program and reach designated milestones, you will have the opportunity to graduate into your own Farmers agency; with the unique advantage of bypassing the standard initial capital review typically required for agency ownership.
