Lakewood, CA

Build a Career Using Skills You Already Have

Being able to connect with people, earn their trust, and communicate in both English and Spanish is a valuable skill. At the Richard Welsh Agency, we're looking for someone who can put those strengths to work while building a long-term career in insurance.

We're hiring an Agent in Training to join our team in Lakewood, CA. This is a sales-focused position for someone who enjoys working with people, is motivated by goals, and wants an opportunity to continue growing professionally and financially.

Bilingual English and Spanish candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.

Previous insurance experience is helpful, but not required. If you bring the communication skills, motivation, and willingness to learn, we'll provide training and support as you develop your insurance knowledge.

What You'll Do

You'll work directly with prospective and existing clients while learning the sales and business side of an insurance agency.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Connect with prospective customers through leads, referrals, outbound calls, and local networking

• Speak with clients to understand their needs, priorities, and current insurance coverage

• Prepare quotes and explain coverage options in a clear and approachable way

• Sell Auto, Home, Life, Commercial, and additional insurance products

• Identify opportunities to provide clients with additional protection

• Build relationships with both English and Spanish-speaking customers in the community

• Follow up with leads and existing clients consistently

• Work toward individual sales and production goals

• Keep client activity, leads, and follow-ups organized using CRM tools

• Continue developing your sales and insurance knowledge through training and coaching

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is personable, motivated, and ready to take ownership of their success.

You may be a great fit if you:

• Are bilingual in English and Spanish

• Have previous sales, customer service, retail, hospitality, banking, automotive, or other client-facing experience

• Enjoy talking with people and building relationships

• Are comfortable making outbound calls and starting new conversations

• Like working toward measurable goals

• Can stay motivated even when you hear "no"

• Are coachable and willing to learn

• Communicate professionally and confidently

• Stay organized and consistently follow through

• Hold a California Property & Casualty and/or Life & Health license, or are willing to obtain the required licensing

What You Can Expect

We'll give you the opportunity to learn the insurance business while developing skills that can lead to continued career growth.

• Competitive base salary plus uncapped commission potential

• Performance-based bonuses and incentives

• Paid training and ongoing coaching

• Hands-on mentorship and professional development

• Opportunities for advancement and increased responsibility

• Potential long-term path toward agency ownership

• Paid time off and holidays

• Health insurance support depending on agency offerings

• Supportive team environment

• Resources and training available through Farmers Insurance

Grow Beyond the Position You Start In

An Agent in Training role can be the beginning of a much larger career path.

As you gain experience, you'll learn more than how to sell insurance. You'll develop skills in client management, business development, relationship building, and agency operations.

For candidates with long-term leadership or entrepreneurial goals, there are also opportunities to continue developing within Farmers Insurance and potentially work toward running an agency of your own in the future.
