Role Description

This is an on-site, full-time role for an Agency Development Manager in the Salt Lake City Metropolitan Area. The Agency Development Manager will lead recruiting and training efforts for agency operations, support team development, and drive sales growth. Responsibilities include developing and implementing growth strategies, identifying and onboarding new sales agents, delivering training programs, and collaborating with leadership to meet performance targets.

This role also involves managing client relationships and fostering a positive and engaging sales environment to ensure team success.

Compensation

We do not cap your income! Compensation is based on several factors, including personal and team sales volume (commissions) and multiple bonus streams. Many in this role earn between $100,000 and $200,000 annually, but some earn much more.

Why work with us?

No member of our team has ever missed a quarterly or annual bonus, and members of our team will be given everything they need to keep that perfect record.

If you feel undervalued in your current role, like you were made for more than what you've been given the chance to earn, we want to meet you.

If you are tired of traveling out of state for work just to provide for a family you don't see enough, we should definitely talk.

If you recently returned from being a rockstar in the military or on a mission, we'd love to find a home for all the skills you gained.

We are family-first, so you don't ever need to miss a kid's ball game. YOU make your OWN schedule and we NEVER work weekends. EVER.

You will be given the tools, systems, training, accountability and incentives to succeed - all we need is your dedication during business hours and willingness to learn our successful way of doing things; once you do, you are encouraged to bring your great ideas and personal touch and make this career your own!
