Personal Lines Insurance Sales Agent

Davis Insurance Associates | Myrtle Beach / North Myrtle Beach, SC

Sell Insurance Without Spending Your Day Cold Calling

Are you good at talking with people, identifying opportunities, and helping clients make smart decisions?

Davis Insurance Associates is looking for a Personal Lines Insurance Sales Agent to join our growing team.

This is not a traditional insurance sales position where you're expected to spend all day cold calling strangers or asking friends and family to buy insurance. You'll primarily work with current clients, referrals, and warm leads who already have a reason to talk with us.

Your job is to build relationships, uncover insurance needs, provide solutions, and turn those opportunities into sales.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll help individuals and families with personal insurance products such as:

• Auto Insurance
• Homeowners Insurance
• Condo Insurance
• Renters Insurance
• Flood Insurance
• Boat Insurance
• Motorcycle Insurance
• RV Insurance
• Golf Cart Insurance
• Personal Umbrella Insurance
• Other personal insurance products

A large part of your role will involve looking for opportunities within our existing book of business.

For example, a client may have their homeowners insurance with us but their auto insurance somewhere else. Another client may have their home and auto with us but recently purchased a boat, golf cart, motorcycle, or rental property.

Your job is to recognize those opportunities, start the conversation, and help the client find the right coverage.

You'll also work with warm leads and referrals from people who have already expressed an interest in getting an insurance quote.

What a Typical Day Might Include

• Talking with current clients about additional insurance needs
• Following up with warm leads and referrals
• Cross-selling additional policies to existing clients
• Reviewing client accounts for sales opportunities
• Quoting personal insurance with multiple insurance carriers
• Explaining coverage options in a way clients can easily understand
• Following up on quotes and asking for the business
• Building relationships that lead to long-term clients and referrals
• Working with our service team to make sure clients have a great experience
• Meeting individual sales and production goals

The Person We're Looking For

You don't have to be a pushy salesperson to be successful here.

In fact, we'd rather have someone who is curious, confident, helpful, persistent, and comfortable having conversations with people.

You may be a great fit if you:

• Enjoy talking with people
• Like sales and the challenge of reaching goals
• Are comfortable picking up the phone and starting conversations
• Know how to listen and ask good questions
• Are good at recognizing opportunities
• Follow up consistently instead of giving up after one attempt
• Can explain complicated information simply
• Are organized and able to manage multiple opportunities at once
• Want to build relationships instead of making one-time transactions
• Take ownership of your results
• Enjoy being part of a team but are also self-motivated

Insurance Experience

Personal lines insurance experience is a plus, but sales ability, attitude, communication skills, and work ethic are extremely important to us.

Candidates with experience in insurance, banking, mortgage lending, real estate, hospitality, customer service, or other relationship-based sales positions may be a great fit.

A South Carolina Property & Casualty insurance license will be required for the position. If you are not currently licensed, licensing requirements can be discussed during the hiring process.

Why Davis Insurance Associates?

Davis Insurance Associates is an independent insurance agency serving clients throughout South Carolina and North Carolina.

Because we're independent, our agents aren't limited to selling insurance from just one company. We work with multiple insurance carriers, giving our team more opportunities to find competitive coverage options for our clients.

More importantly, you'll have something many insurance salespeople don't:

People to talk to.

You'll have access to an established client base, incoming opportunities, referrals, and warm leads — giving you the ability to spend more of your time selling insurance instead of searching for someone willing to talk to you.

We're looking for someone who wants to grow with our agency, become a trusted insurance advisor to our clients, and be rewarded for producing results.

If you're competitive, personable, comfortable talking with people, and like the idea of turning conversations into opportunities, we'd like to hear from you.
