At The Grumley Agency, we want people to feel comfortable calling us, even when they’re not sure what to ask. Sometimes they’re buying a home or adding a new driver. Sometimes they’re trying to make the family budget work. We take the time to hear what’s on their mind before we talk about coverage.
In this role, you’ll learn insurance sales from the ground up. You’ll introduce our agency to people in the community, respond to quote requests, and ask questions to understand what each person needs. Working alongside experienced teammates, you’ll learn how to prepare a quote, explain the options in plain language, and ask for the sale.
You’ll also keep track of what you discussed, what questions are still open, and when you promised to call back. Earning someone’s business starts with listening and doing what you said you would.
You can expect that same consideration here. You’ll work directly with me, the agency owner, and with teammates who make time to help you prepare for a call or talk through a tricky question. We want everyone in our Wauwatosa office to feel welcome. We appreciate different points of view and notice the effort it takes to learn something new.
Learn the personal insurance products we offer, including auto and home coverage, so you can explain options in everyday language and help clients understand how those options fit their needs and budget.
