TJ Larson

• State Farm Agent is looking for a motivated, competitive professional to join our team as a full-time Account Representative.

This is a true sales position. Your primary responsibility is turning leads and prospective customers into new State Farm households by having conversations, identifying insurance needs, presenting appropriate options, following up consistently and asking for the business. We invest in multiple lead sources to create opportunities for our sales team, including internet leads, inbound calls, State Farm-generated leads, digital advertising, live transfers and customer referrals. We provide opportunities — you provide the activity, persistence and follow-up needed to turn those opportunities into customers. This is a high-activity sales environment. Successful team members are comfortable spending significant time on the phone and maintaining the activity needed to consistently generate new opportunities — typically 75-100 outbound calls per day or at least 4 new household Auto/Home quote opportunities. If you're competitive, coachable, comfortable hearing \"no,\" motivated by performance-based income and enjoy the feeling of closing a sale, we'd like to meet you.

Successful sales experience in another industry is also valuable. You must be able to obtain a Minnesota Property & Casualty Insurance License and Life & Health Insurance License. The agency pays licensing costs upfront. What Success Looks Like This is a performance-driven position with clear expectations. We provide multiple sources of leads and opportunities, but success requires consistent activity, follow-up and production. Our sales team is expected to consistently create new quote opportunities, write new business across multiple insurance lines and help customers consider their broader insurance needs — not simply quote one product. Your primary job is selling, not servicing a book of business. After you bring a new customer into the agency and help ensure their initial onboarding is completed correctly, our customer service team takes over their ongoing service needs so you can remain focused on generating and closing new business. About Our Team We're a small team where every person matters. We work hard, hold ourselves accountable and celebrate wins together. We have high expectations, but we also believe work should be enjoyable. Before becoming a State Farm Agent, TJ started his own State Farm career as an Agent Team Member. We believe in developing our people and creating opportunities for those who want to increase their responsibilities, move into leadership or potentially pursue agency ownership in the future.
