Agent in Training
Farmers Insurance | Lansing, MI
Build a Career Where Your Effort Creates Opportunity
If you're motivated by goals, enjoy working with people, and want a career where your performance can directly impact your income and future, insurance could be the opportunity you've been looking for.
Farmers Insurance agencies throughout the Lansing area are looking for motivated professionals to join their teams as Agents in Training.
This is a sales-focused position designed for people who want more than just another job. You'll develop valuable sales and business skills, work directly with customers, and have opportunities to increase your earning potential as you grow.
No previous insurance experience? That's okay. If you have strong people skills, a competitive mindset, and the willingness to learn, we'll help you build the insurance knowledge you need.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll spend your day connecting with people, learning what matters to them, and helping them find insurance solutions that fit their needs.
Your responsibilities may include:
Connecting with prospective customers through leads, referrals, phone calls, and outreach
Asking questions to understand each client's needs and priorities
Preparing quotes and explaining coverage in a way that's easy to understand
Selling Auto, Home, Life, Business, and other insurance products
Following up consistently with leads and open quotes
Building relationships with new and existing customers
Identifying opportunities to provide additional coverage
Managing your sales pipeline and customer communication
Working toward individual and agency production goals
Participating in ongoing sales coaching and professional development
Who Tends to Succeed Here?
Your previous job title matters less than what you bring to the table.
You could be a great fit if you:
Enjoy meeting and talking with new people
Are motivated by goals, results, and earning potential
Have the confidence to pick up the phone and start conversations
Can hear "no" and keep moving toward the next opportunity
Are naturally competitive or enjoy challenging yourself
Take coaching well and want feedback that helps you improve
Are dependable, organized, and consistent with follow-up
Want an opportunity where there is room to advance
Experience in sales, customer service, restaurants, hospitality, retail, banking, leasing, automotive, healthcare, or another people-focused environment can translate well into this position.
We'll Help You Learn the Insurance Side
You don't need to walk through the door already knowing everything about insurance.
You'll have opportunities for training, coaching, and hands-on experience as you develop your knowledge of insurance products and the sales process.
A Property & Casualty insurance license is required to sell insurance. Candidates who are not currently licensed must be willing to complete the licensing process before beginning applicable sales responsibilities.
What Could This Opportunity Offer You?
Compensation and benefits vary by individual agency, but opportunities may include:
Competitive base pay + uncapped commission potential
Performance bonuses and sales incentives
Lead generation and prospecting resources
Training and ongoing sales coaching
Professional development
Paid time off and holidays
Opportunities for increased responsibility and leadership
Long-term career growth within the insurance industry
And for someone who eventually wants to run a business of their own, the opportunity can go even further.
Qualified individuals may have the opportunity to pursue the Farmers Protégé Program, a development path that combines sales experience, mentorship, and business training for those interested in potentially becoming a Farmers agency owner.
See What You're Capable Of
You don't need to have your entire career mapped out before you apply.
Maybe you're looking for a stronger income opportunity. Maybe you've hit the ceiling in your current position. Maybe you're great with people and know you're capable of more. Or maybe you're looking for a career that gives you something meaningful to work toward.
Whatever brought you here, Agent in Training could be the starting point for something much bigger.
