JOB DESCRIPTION
We're hiring a part-time Sales Development Representative to make the first call. You'll reach out to prospective clients, confirm their information, understand what coverage they currently carry, and hand off qualified conversations to our licensed producers. You are not selling policies and you don't need a license to start. You are the front of the funnel: dials, conversations, and clean handoffs. If you do that well, everything downstream works. Twenty or more hours a week, with a consistent schedule you and we set together. Good fit if you're building toward something — a student, a parent working around school hours, or someone testing whether insurance is a career worth pursuing. No insurance experience required. We train. Compensation $17.00 - $20.00 per hour, depending on experience. At 20 hours a week that's roughly $340 to $400 weekly before bonus; more hours are available for the right person. Monthly bonus is paid on appointments held and policies issued from your handoffs. Our bonus structure is published and we'll walk you through the exact math in the interview — no guessing. We'd rather show you the plan up front than promise a number you can't verify. What We Offer Paid, hands-on training from day one. A weekday schedule with no weekends and no major holidays. Flexible shift blocks within business hours. Weekly coaching from a producer who does the job you're feeding. And real advancement — this seat is how people get into the industry. Location and Schedule In-office at our Blue Springs location, 807 W Main St, Suite B, Blue Springs, MO 64015. Shifts fall Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM CST. We'll build a set weekly schedule with you. Career Path SDR is the entry point, not the ceiling. Months one through three, you learn the phone — our scripts, our CRM, our products — and we watch consistency more than results. Months three through six, you own your numbers: you know the objections, you're setting appointments that hold, and you're picking up the language of coverage from listening to producers work your handoffs. Beyond that, you choose a lane. Representatives who perform can move toward a Licensed Sales Producer seat, where you write business and earn commission, or a Client Service role supporting the book directly. Both are full-time, both pay meaningfully more, and we'll support the licensing when you're ready for it. Plenty of people in this business started on exactly this kind of phone seat. This is a real on-ramp, not a dead end. About the Agency Founded in 1988 by Jay Greco, the Greco Insurance Agency has spent decades helping clients protect what matters most through trusted advice, personal service, and thoughtfully designed insurance solutions. In 2015, ownership transitioned to Jay's son, Jake Greco, who continues to lead the agency with the same family values and commitment to client relationships it was founded on. Today we serve clients throughout Missouri and Kansas with auto, home, life, business, and Medicare coverage. As a recognized top-performing agency within Farmers and a multiple-time Million Dollar Round Table qualifier, we combine high-level expertise with a personal touch clients can still count on. Since 1988, our mission hasn't changed: protect what matters most, and treat people the right way. That applies to the people who work here too.
