Sales Specialist - No Experience

Sales Specialist - No Experience

Never sold anything before? That is not a problem here. This specialist role was built for people who are new to sales and new to insurance, and the whole job is done from home. You will speak with union members, veterans and working families across Canada and the United States, helping them choose benefit programs from an established insurance brand.

The company hands you the leads, the training, the technology and ongoing support, so you are not starting from a blank page. What you supply is reliability: turning up for your appointments, staying organized and keeping yourself on track without a manager in the room.

Based on individual sales performance, first-year earnings are estimated at $67,000 to $70,000.

What a working day looks like

  • Phoning leads the company has already sourced and booking them in for a virtual benefit consultation
  • Sitting down with each prospective client on Zoom
  • Talking through the available benefit programs in everyday language so clients can enroll with confidence
  • Helping veterans, union members, working families and members of our long-standing partner organizations
  • Checking in with your regional manager on the activity and performance goals you have set together

What you receive

  • A fully remote position you work from home
  • Warm leads instead of traditional cold calling
  • Commission-only pay, topped up by a generous bonus
  • Renewal commissions that can keep adding to your income year after year
  • Medical, dental and prescription coverage
  • The chance to earn stock options
  • Step-by-step training and help getting licensed

Who we hope to hear from

Experience is genuinely optional. The training starts from the basics, and the specialists who go furthest are the ones who take coaching well, can be relied on, and feel at ease chatting with clients.

You could be a natural fit if you:

  • Get your point across clearly by message, by phone and on camera
  • Like the idea of helping a family feel sure about a money decision
  • Can plan your own hours and stick to them without someone checking in
  • Are comfortable on a computer and happy to learn Zoom if you have not used it much
  • Have dealt with customers or the public before, whether in customer service, hospitality, recruiting or sales

Licensing and eligibility

To advise clients you will need the life-insurance license for your province or state. If you do not have one yet, that is expected: we explain each step of qualifying and help you choose a route that works for you. You must be legally authorized to work in Canada or the United States.

Worth applying if you are searching no experience sales jobs, work from home jobs with training, or remote sales specialist roles open to beginners.
