Account Executive

Background in sales or no background in sales?  Lots of experience, or none?  If you are an ambitious person that is ready for a life changing opportunity, and are willing to put in the work to succeed, we need to talk now.
We have an opportunity as an insurance agent with one of the fastest growing personal lines (think home and auto) insurance agencies in Texas, TGS Insurance, located in Houston, servicing all of Texas as well as three other states.
We provide three things everyone is looking for in a job.  Money.  Stability.  Culture.
Our average Account Executive made $56/hour last quarter.  Top agent made 2X that.  Top new agent with less than 4 months experience made $75/hr last month.  People are making a lot of money.
Our average Account Executive has over 5 years of experience with the company.  The company has been in business for 28 years, in insurance for over 5 years.  TGS Insurance is growing by over 50% year-over-year for each of the last 5 years.  We are nationally a Top100 agency.  People like working here.
1 and 2 are the keys to building a great culture.  We are professional, fair, and provide a first-class work environment.  Our office is in a beautiful high-rise tower in the Energy Corridor, off I-10.  It is safe, clean, with secure garage parking, restaurants, and a free full on-site gym.  People like where they work, people like who they work with.
Insurance is a financial services job and is an amazing long-term industry. While no business or industry is guaranteed; if you own a home, you must have home insurance, if you drive a car, you must have auto insurance.
THIS IS THE KEY  Unlike most insurance jobs where you generate your own sales, we bring high-quality leads to you. Our internal marketing team creates a relentless flow of high-closing home and auto insurance leads.  We could buy a nice home every month with what we spend in advertising.  You will receive calls from people that will buy from you about 1 in 3 times. This is why #1 and #2 above are possible.  You don’t cold call, you don’t have to sell your friends and family, or any of those old school sales tactics.  We bring legit people to you who absolutely must have the product you are selling; you solve their problem, we all win.
We can generate far more leads than we have people to sell them.  This is why we need you.  It’s not because people are leaving.  They are not.
We teach the insurance business, the methodology, you just bring effort, energy, and enthusiasm to do what is best for the client.  We have agents that are 18-70 years old with all levels of experience.  Almost all had zero insurance experience when they started.  Not that we hold it against you, but we do not require any industry experience.
