Account Executive – Nationwide
Are you someone who enjoys the challenge of the hunt? Ready to tackle sales leads and turn them into revenue? Or maybe you are tired of the uncertainty and looking for a career change that will allow you to utilize your business skills but apply them in a new way? Avalon Risk Management, an insurance broker in the transportation industry and awarded Best Places to Work in Insurance in 2011, is looking for motivated salespeople. We seek candidates with proven sales experience who are eager to learn a new industry. Candidates from the mortgage industry are also a good fit for this position. We’ll teach you our industry; you provide the basic sales experience to build from.
Our producers are continually exposed to a broad base of information related to international trade, importing, exporting, risk management, specialty insurance products, web-based technology, and solid business practices. Avalon will assist successful candidates with product training and meeting any insurance licensing requirements in their respective territory. Our compensation package provides a base salary and commissions. U.S. candidates will work from one of our established office locations throughout the U.S. with the ability to sell within that office's divisional territory. Canadian candidates will be focused on the Toronto and surrounding Ontario area with opportunities to expand into other provinces.
As an Avalon Account Executive, you will gain experience in the many facets of international insurance: prospecting new business, soliciting sales through referrals and cold calling, lead qualification, and developing your professional selling skills. You will negotiate with underwriters and process renewals. In this role, you will also be requesting financial documents from clients, handling customer service and risk assessment, participating in industry and association events, and more. Our salespeople are expected to be out of the office 80% of the time, so travel will play a key role in your success.
Industry experience is not required, but the successful candidate will have 2-5 years experience with outside sales. Candidates must have excellent written and verbal communication skills and computer skills. To succeed in this position, you must possess strong organizational and analytical skills, be detail oriented, and exhibit exceptional reasoning skills. Sales duties will require travel, cold calling, prospecting, and lead qualification. If you are eager to learn the international insurance business and advance in a growing organization, please submit your resume today.
Avalon Risk Management has ten offices nationwide and is licensed in Toronto, Ontario. We are a premier provider of innovative insurance and surety solutions. We offer a competitive base salary as well as commission. Our benefits package includes a base salary, auto allowance, quarterly commission incentives, health and dental benefits through United Healthcare, 401(k), tuition reimbursement, and more. Avalon is an equal opportunity employer that has been voted locally as Best Places to Work in IL and nationally as Best Places to Work in Insurance in 2011. Interested candidates should apply online here.
