Sales Representative – Farmers Insurance

Farmers Insurance & Financial Solutions | Cupertino, CA 95014

Full-Time | Monday–Friday | No Weekends | $4,000/Month During Training

Are you an experienced sales professional who wants the opportunity to build something bigger than a traditional sales job?

Farmers Insurance, Silicon Valley District Office, is looking for a driven Sales Representative to join its 6–7 month Protégé Program. This program combines sales training, real-world business experience, mentorship, and exposure to agency operations for individuals who want to build a long-term career in insurance — with the potential to pursue Farmers agency ownership.

You don't need prior insurance experience. If you know how to build relationships, communicate with customers, follow up consistently, and work toward measurable goals, you'll receive the training and support needed to develop your insurance career.

• Connect with prospective customers using provided leads and other sales strategies.
  
• Build relationships with prospects and identify opportunities to meet their insurance needs.
  
• Learn to present insurance solutions, explain coverage options, and close new business.
  
• Follow up with leads and prospects through phone calls and other communication.
  
• Generate new business and work toward established sales and production goals.
  
• Identify opportunities to cross-sell additional insurance products.
  
• Develop customer relationships that support long-term retention and growth.
  
• Learn the fundamentals of marketing, prospecting, and building a sustainable book of business.
  
• Gain hands-on exposure to the sales and operational side of running an insurance agency.
  
• Participate in Farmers training and licensing programs as required.
  
• Work directly with the District Manager and experienced agency owners for coaching, guidance, and professional development.
  
• Progress through a structured 6–7 month development program designed to prepare you for the next stage of your career.

We're looking for someone who is motivated by results, personal growth, and the opportunity to build a business.

You may be a good fit if you have:

• Professional sales, business development, customer service, or related experience.
• A strong work ethic and a track record of working toward goals.
• Confidence communicating with customers and prospective customers.
• Strong follow-up and relationship-building abilities.
• The ability to prospect, make outbound calls, and consistently create sales opportunities.
• A competitive, persistent, and resilient approach to sales.
• An entrepreneurial mindset and interest in eventually owning a business.
• The ability to work independently while actively using coaching and feedback.
• A willingness to learn the insurance industry and obtain required licenses.
• A genuine interest in building a long-term career rather than simply finding another job.

Insurance experience or an existing Property & Casualty license is helpful, but not required. Candidates with strong sales experience and the ability to obtain the required licenses are encouraged to apply.

• $4,000 per month during the training period
  
• Competitive bonus structure
  
• Paid time off
  
• Flexible schedule
  
• Monday–Friday schedule — no weekends required
  
• Structured training and hands-on mentorship
  
• Training and support from the Silicon Valley District Office and experienced agency owners
  
• Access to applicable Farmers training and development resources
  
• Advanced education opportunities
  
• Financial assistance toward agency ownership upon meeting applicable criteria and/or sales targets

This opportunity is designed for someone who wants to develop more than just insurance sales skills.

Throughout the Protégé Program, you'll gain experience in areas such as:

• Sales and lead generation
• Customer relationship development
• Business development
• Agency operations
• Marketing and prospecting
• Customer retention
• Building a book of business
• Insurance licensing and product knowledge

Successful participants who meet applicable program requirements may have the opportunity to pursue Farmers agency ownership.

Agency opportunities are subject to qualifications, licensing, approval, and applicable program terms.

If agency ownership isn't your immediate goal, there may also be opportunities to continue developing your insurance career with an existing Farmers agency.

If you're an ambitious sales professional who wants structured training, mentorship, income opportunity, and a potential path toward owning your own business, this could be an excellent next step.
