Job Description
Are you a driven, customer-focused individual with a passion for helping others secure their future? Career.zycto is actively seeking highly motivated Insurance Agents specializing in both sales and claims to join a dynamic team in Spanish Town, St. Catherine. This is a pivotal, commission-based role offering significant, uncapped earning potential for those who excel at building relationships, understanding client needs, and delivering exceptional service. As an Insurance Agent, you will be at the forefront of educating clients about a diverse range of insurance products, including life, health, property, and auto insurance, tailored to their unique circumstances. Your core responsibility will involve assessing their financial goals and risk profiles, then meticulously guiding them through the entire sales process, from initial inquiry to policy issuance.
Beyond the critical aspect of sales, you will also play an indispensable role in assisting clients with their claims. This involves being their trusted advocate, providing empathetic support, meticulously gathering necessary documentation, and navigating them through what can often be a complex and stressful process. This dual focus on both sales and claims requires a unique blend of persuasive communication, sharp analytical skills, meticulous attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to client advocacy and satisfaction.
We are specifically looking for self-starters who are comfortable operating with a degree of independence, yet also thrive when contributing to a collaborative team environment. The ideal candidate will possess not only excellent verbal and written communication skills but also a resilient attitude, an innate ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds, and an unwavering desire to achieve and consistently exceed ambitious sales targets. You will be instrumental in expanding our client base within Spanish Town and surrounding communities, building a reputation for reliability and expertise. Comprehensive, industry-leading training on product knowledge, advanced sales techniques, regulatory compliance, and efficient claims processing will be provided to ensure your immediate and long-term success. This unparalleled opportunity is perfect for someone eager to build a lasting and impactful career in the resilient insurance industry, offering genuine flexibility, significant autonomy, and a direct correlation between your diligent effort and substantial financial reward. If you are ready to shape your own success and make a tangible difference in people’s lives, we encourage you to apply.
