Adam Guss - State Farm Agent

12/15/2022

Hi all! Do you know someone outgoing and hardworking who is looking for a new, incredibly stable career? I am looking for another FANTASTIC person to add to my team to focus on Sales and Marketing. If this person has what it takes, they may just follow in my footsteps and open their own State Farm agency at some point in the future. Hands down, moving into the insurance world and deciding to open my own State Farm agency was the best career move I’ve ever made.

WHAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY?
As most of you know, I opened my State Farm agency about a decade ago (12 years to be exact) and the reality is… we are doing fantastic! Couldn’t be happier and really appreciate everyone’s support over the years. However, I need help. There is too much new business to be had and I need someone who can help from a Sales & Marketing perspective. The initial activities will involve sales and marketing, building relationships with local businesses and further marketing my agency’s brand in the local area. I will help you develop your skills and knowledge of everything I’ve found is necessary to run a successful agency. This is a professional sales environment where you will analyze and discuss insurance coverage suggestions with business owners and individuals. Although minimal sales experience would be considered depending on other experiences, this is NOT an entry level position that will involve slow advancement. This position is best fit for someone with an entrepreneurial spirit, a large amount of drive, tenacity, possible interest in owning your own agency in the future, and is intrigued by an industry built on true residual income.

What I AM looking for:
- A person ready to take initiative and make outbound contacts – contact your circle of influence, join a networking group and get involved in the local chamber of commerce (all paid for by yours truly) and some targeted marketing.
- Someone outgoing, hardworking, ethical and honest. Someone patient who understands that there’s a lot to learn in this industry and that’s exciting to them.
- This person must be at least decent with math and have good knowledge of how to use a PC (Microsoft Office, web apps, etc.) and be able to learn and proprietary software.
- Someone who understands the value in helping people make the right decisions with their insurance to protect themselves against lawsuits and financial devastation. We do not offer the “cheap option” just to gain a client, but instead we discuss actual needs, the risk of underinsuring and how choosing the right coverage can keep the target off of your back, in the unfortunate event of an accident.
- This person would understand the benefits of the insurance industry – everyone needs insurance, it’s one of the most stable industries in history almost completely unaffected by the market and for those that decide to turn this into a long term career, it’s simply the best example of a residual income business in history.
- Insurance industry experience would be absolutely ideal!
- LICENSING REQUIRED – Will need to have a CA Property & Casualty Insurance License, or need to get it if they don’t have it already.

What I AM NOT looking for:
- Someone with no, or very little, Sales & Marketing experience.
- Somebody who is not trainable and extremely open to learning and constant input.
- Someone looking for “a job”.
- A person who’s not ready to dig in and work hard.
Although I would love to find someone to sculpt into the next successful agency owner, I would also be quite happy with an extraordinary person that doesn’t have interest in starting their own agency, but just wants to work hard and be fairly compensated for it.
Compensation is comprised of base + commissions & bonuses. A person doing just enough to squeak by would expect to make around $50,000. A person doing all the right things and working hard on a daily basis could make between $70,000 - $90,000, possibly more. However, someone who spends at least 2 years with my agency and becomes a State Farm agent themselves, they could expect to grow into a much higher income level over.
*** If you feel you know of someone that would be an excellent match, please get me in touch with them as soon as possible. My email is [email protected] or they can call me directly at 714.978.4200. I am willing to answer any questions about the opportunity. Thank you all for giving this a read, now who do you know that I should be in touch with?

Looking for someone with State Farm Sales and/or Service (or very similar) experience, full or part time considered. Overly competitive hourly pay, bonus, vacation and retirement benefits available!

We are looking for a positive, honest and organized individual. MUST HAVE your California Property and Causality (P&C) License. Holding a Life and Health license is a plus, but not required.

A qualified candidate will receive $1000 Bonus after 90 days of employment if you have a current CA P&C license by your start date and there are no issues transferring your State Farm agreement and training modules to our agency. Will not hire someone currently working for another State Farm agent unless your current agent has already been made aware that you are leaving.

Core Competencies:
• Ethical and Honest
• Great communication skills - written, verbal and listening
• Experienced with quoting insurance policies and discussing options with the client.
• Compensation includes hourly pay between $20-$25 per hour (Up to $52,000 per year base), plus production based incentive plan, depending on experience level and ability to handle certain roles within the agency
• Must be able to pass a basic background check

Let’s be frank… Not every insurance office has great culture, not every agent is a great agent to work for, and if you looked online for public opinion, not every agency is one that you would be proud to be part of.

If you have State Farm experience, but have legitimate reasons why the last agency you worked in wasn’t a good fit, I want to hear from you! To be blunt, I am looking for someone that wants to do great things and knows how important it is to be in the right environment to do so. If this describes you, search “Adam Guss” on Yelp.com and see what people say about our agency. Fun and positive office culture, incredibly high public opinion and an agent that shows he appreciates his team! If you feel you are an excellent match, respond to this posting with your resume listing applicable skills, including your contact information. We will contact you within 24 hours of receiving your information.
