Sales Agent at BranchInsurance

Branch is on a mission to make insurance less expensive, so more people can be covered. We innovate using data, tech, and automation to simplify insurance from start to finish—we eliminated inaccurate quotes in favor of real prices, created a better way to bundle, and cut unnecessary costs in the traditional insurance process. Then we pass those savings along to our members. Basically, we’re doing insurance the way it was meant to be.

But we didn’t just create the insurance we’ve always wanted, we also created the company we’ve always wanted to work for. As we redefine insurance, we also want to redefine what it means to work in insurance. Find out for yourself.

Branch has a preference for candidates in Ohio, but is open to candidates located in AL, AZ, CT, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MD, MA, MI, MN, MS. MO, NE, NV, NJ, NC, ND, OH, OK, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, and WI. Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time.

Branch is remote first, with most Branchers choosing to work from home. Our headquarters are located in Columbus, Ohio, where we come together from time to time to build relationships and connect with each other in real life. Once a year, the entire company gathers for “BranchFest”, a highlight of the year for many Branchers.

About the role

Our Sales Team works to grow Branch by helping people easily obtain the right coverage for their individual situation. Sales agents engage with our clients directly by phone to understand their needs, discuss coverages, and sell policies. Our energetic team directly assists our prospective members through inbound and outbound calls as well as caring for prospective members who are affiliated with Branch's partnerships.

In this role, you will work in a high-performing team environment, engaging with clients to sell policies such as homeowners, renters, automobile insurance, and more! Our products are built to be bundled, and we have the technology to get pricing with very little customer information, so your time is spent interacting and connecting, not gathering much information. This role will primarily focus on interacting with potential clients to ensure they get the right level of coverage at a great price. The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic about the role insurance and financial products play in helping people manage the risks of everyday life and recover from the unexpected. Ultimately, this is a ground-floor opportunity to play a massive role in the Insurtech industry, helping grow a business from the ground up.
