Sales Executive, Personal Lines- Bozeman

We’re the catalyst that walks into our clients’ lives and helps them make positive changes so that they’re more informed and protected. We take the philosophy that—not only are we there when clients have a claim but—we are there to help minimize their risk in the first place. Our unique approach unlocks potential and drives meaningful change for individuals and families. 

As a Personal Lines Sales Executive, you will seek out new opportunities to challenge the traditional norms of insurance to help protect the property and assets of our clients. At PayneWest, we don’t “sell insurance”- we help clients assess and take control of their risk by developing custom insurance portfolios, and finding creative solutions to their toughest challenges.

We will give you access to mentorship, resources, and development to ensure your success but you will need to supply the drive. Our ideal candidate is hungry, humble, and smart- they don’t stop short of success and are driven to do what’s best for their clients and colleagues. 

THE JOB

• Hunt for new opportunities through networking, prospecting, calling, and face-to-face meetings.
• Pipeline management- ensure your sales pipeline stays full and is effectively managed so that you know where your next win will come from.
• Participate in our collaborative development and training program to become an expert at identifying and minimizing your clients’ risk.
• Drive sales results- leverage your business acumen and training to increase revenue to the firm and build your book of business.
• Collaborate with your Client Relations team to ensure that the client receives consistent communication and service.

 
THE PERSON WE’RE SEARCHING FOR:

• You’re ready to throw all stereotypes of “insurance” out the window and challenge the status quo.
• You’re a consultant. You have the innate ability to anticipate your clients’ needs and provide them with an innovative and out-of-the-box solution.
• You’re hungry. Hunting for new business is in your DNA. You never run out of the drive to meet new prospects, close the sale, and get a win.
• You’re smart. You understand business and people.
• You’re good with people, even on the tough days.
• Team oriented. You maintain positive relationships with your colleagues—and you enjoy it.
• Leadership skills. You actually walk the walk. You lead by example.
• You love to learn. You’re earnest about improving and pursuing professional development.
• You can adapt—because our industry changes constantly and so do the needs of our clients. You’re good at staying on your toes.
• You’re ready for a meaningful change. No more corporate vanilla structure for you.
• You embrace our core values: accountability, balance, excellence, integrity, and respect.
