Insurance Position

A local insurance company is interested in recruiting a college graduate or intern for a commercial insurance sales position in this region (Southcoast). The job includes prospecting regional residents and businesses and designing and selling the proper coverage and services to meet the needs of those clients. It is a relationship building business that requires strong personal skills, strong technical skills and a desire to learn. This is not just selling life insurance over the phone. It includes dealing with business owners, both large and small, to build a comprehensive insurance and risk management program. The focus will be on commercial lines of insurance, including property and casualty insurance products. The successful candidate will be dealing with business owners, manufacturers, etc. Skills from marketing, sales and finance are required.

The early path for the right candidate will involve interning briefly in our Fall River office and then undertake an intensive national sales training program developed by our industry and endorsed by our national and
state association. The program runs 3 weeks and is held in Dallas in the fall or Plymouth in June. Stafford will cover the cost of the program.

Interested parties should send resumes and cover letter to:
