Territory Sales Partner - Buffalo & Rochester, NY

Company Description

Are you looking for a business opportunity in a thriving, mission-driven industry? Are you an entrepreneur with the drive and commitment it takes to build a business from the ground up? Consider exploring a partnership with Trupanion! Historically, pet owners have paid for veterinary care with discretionary income, savings, credit cards, or other loans. Medical care for a pet sometimes involves sophisticated and costly treatments that are out of reach for many owners.

Those without medical coverage may be forced to choose less expensive, sub-standard alternatives. This puts veterinarians in the position of having to determine treatment options based on an owner’s finances.

Pet owners in the United States and Canada collectively own approximately 180 million dogs and cats and less than 3% have medical coverage for their pets. Hospitals see a benefit in their bottom line when they have a client base that can pay for treatments that may otherwise be out of their financial means. And Trupanion's dedication provides a solid foundation for the success of our Territory Partners, who reap the rewards of pets that stay enrolled through residual income.

We are searching for our next Territory Partner who will serve as an Independent Business Owner that is contracted to represent Trupanion within the Buffalo/Rochester market. This is not a franchise or brokerage. There are no franchise fees and this business does not necessitate a brick‑and‑mortar operation.

For the last 10 years, our revenue and the number of Trupanion enrolled pets have increased every quarter. We attribute our rapid growth to our unique approach to insuring pets. Our comprehensive plan has no payout limits and covers chronic, congenital, and hereditary conditions not present ’re the only provider with patented in‑hospital software to process and pay claims directly to hospitals in minutes, while pet owners are at checkout!

Thousands of hospitals have partnered with us to take advantage of this and the many additional benefits that our software provides. Unlike others in the industry, we own the Trupanion brand and do not have to pay royalties for our brand name. For companies that do not own their brand, they lose an additional 3–5 points of brand franchising expense.

We set an industry high with our 98.6% monthly retention rate, and that rate continues to increase! While we generate revenue from premiums, unlike our competitors, our policy runs month‑to‑month rather than annually. Our growing, loyal base of members provides the potential for predictable revenue and uncapped income potential for our Territory Partners.

By expanding our Territory Partner network and increasing direct marketing to veterinarians, the amount of hospitals that actively introduce Trupanion to their clients is greatly increased.
