• Opportunity to broker outside Farmers when appropriate to meet customer needs

• Dental, vision, and life insurance

What You'll Do

During the Protege Program, you'll develop practical experience across multiple areas of the agency, including:

• Sell auto, home, life, business, and specialty insurance products.

• Work with agency-provided leads and referrals.

• Build and manage your own book of business.

• Develop strong relationships with customers and understand their insurance needs.

• Learn sales and marketing strategies for growing an insurance business.

• Gain exposure to agency operations, finances, and profitability.

• Work directly with your mentor to learn how a successful insurance agency operates.

• Develop the sales, leadership, and business skills needed to pursue future agency ownership.

• $4,000 graduation bonus

• $5,000 new agent sign-on bonus

These benefits can provide additional financial support as you take the next step toward agency ownership.

What We're Looking For

You may be a great fit if you're:

• Competitive, ambitious, and goal-oriented

• Interested in entrepreneurship and business ownership

• Confident communicating with customers by phone and in person

• Coachable and eager to learn

• Self-motivated and comfortable taking initiative

• Customer-focused and relationship-oriented

• Experienced in sales or customer-facing work is a plus, but not required

No Insurance License? No Problem.

A current insurance license is not required to apply. We are open to candidates who are not currently licensed and provide paid Property & Casualty and Life & Health licensing as part of the program.

No insurance experience? That's okay, too. You'll receive training, mentorship, and hands-on experience to help you build the skills needed to succeed.

Your Path to Business Ownership

The Protege Program is designed for professionals who want more than a traditional sales career.

You'll start by learning how to sell and serve customers while gaining exposure to the marketing, financial, operational, and leadership responsibilities involved in running an insurance agency.
