Commercial Insurance Producer | $80K$150K+ | Warm Support
Job Description
Top commercial producers don't leave good desks for vague promises. So here's the straight version of what this desk looks like.
Virgil E. Smith Insurance Services is an independent, growth-stage Houston agency hiring a Commercial Insurance Producer to hunt and close new business with the agency infrastructure behind you to make big production numbers realistic, not aspirational.
What makes this desk different:
- You sell. We service. Once you close an account, our service team takes it off your plate entirely no renewal remarketing, no certificate requests, no service calls eating your selling hours. 100% of your time goes into the activity that pays you.
- Independent agency, multiple carrier appointments. You place the risk with the right fit instead of forcing it into one carrier's appetite better hit ratios, fewer lost deals.
- Underwriting relationships, not just quoting volume. We put submissions in front of carriers the right way, so your work converts.
- Hybrid schedule based in the Clear Lake/Houston area, with flexibility to work where you're most productive.
Earnings: $80,000$150,000 first year. Guaranteed base salary plus uncapped new-business commission. Your base covers your life; your commission is where the real money is. Producers hitting standard activity benchmarks land in the $80K$110K range in year one; proven closers with an established pipeline reach $150K+.
This is a hunter's comp plan we pay aggressively on new business. If you have a prospecting engine (centers of influence, referral partners, a niche you know cold) and you want an agency that moves at your speed instead of slowing you down, this seat was built for you.
