Job Description

Insurance sales managers lead teams of insurance sales agents towards meeting or exceeding their sales goals.

To this end, insurance sales managers usually work full time in an office for agencies or brokerages, interacting with customers and other agents on a near-constant basis.

They search for and interview potential candidates, then onboard new recruits with industry and company policy training. It’s also the responsibility of the manager to evaluate existing team members’ performances and terminate them when necessary.
