Design, refine, and run a structured, week-by-week ramp curriculum focused on consultative selling, coverage education, quoting accuracy, objection handling, and state-specific compliance expectations
Lead and develop a team of ramp-stage Sales Agents (and/or front-line coaches/supervisors as applicable), setting clear expectations, coaching rhythms, and ramp-to-quota milestones
Coach to behaviors and outcomes by managing leading and lagging indicators (e.g., premium written, close rate, quote-to-bind, call volume, follow-up cadence)
Conduct readiness evaluations and final certification decisions; manage the handoff process to permanent sales leadership to ensure only performance-ready talent transitions
Establish and maintain performance dashboards and operating cadences to monitor conversion, pipeline health, early-lifecycle retention indicators, and cohort progress against benchmarks
Partner cross-functionally with Underwriting and Product to ensure agents are current on appetite changes, pricing shifts, and coverage updates—and translate those updates into ramp enablement
Work closely with QA and Compliance to reinforce ethical selling, accurate policy representation, and required regulatory adherence through call reviews and targeted interventions
Analyze cohort trends (early attrition, underwriting fallout, performance plateaus, curriculum gaps) and implement improvements that increase ramp success and reduce time-to-first-sale
Continuously improve processes and workflows to create consistent outcomes across varying class sizes and hiring cycles
Requirements
5+ years of leadership experience in insurance sales, ideally managing licensed agents in a quota-driven environment
