The Problem
36 million businesses in America need insurance—it’s not optional. 77% are underinsured. 40% have no coverage at all. The distribution system failed them: too slow, too opaque, too confusing.
Over 90% of commercial insurance is still human-led. We’re building the inverse: 90%+ AI-led, pushing toward the higher 90s. Not by patching legacy workflows—by building AI that makes humans more effective, improves the customer experience, and eliminates friction at every step.
We’re adding ~1,000 customers per month. We’ve grown 100x since last year. We’re looking to do even more this year—and that’s why we’re hiring.
You’ll be the first voice customers hear—and the engine that feeds our entire sales machine.
The Thesis
Every conversation you have becomes data that makes our AI smarter. Every business you qualify correctly means faster closes and better coverage. This role is the front line of a company transforming how millions of businesses get insured—and the fastest path to becoming a closer yourself.
Top performers promote to AE within 6-12 months. We’re not hiring for a seat-warmer position. We’re hiring future sales leaders who want to learn the business from the ground up.
The Role
High-volume, high-intensity phone work with a purpose. You’ll talk with business owners all day—contractors, restaurant owners, consultants, trucking companies—qualifying opportunities and setting up our closers to win.
You’re not just booking meetings. You’re learning every business type we serve, understanding their risks, and building the intuition that makes great salespeople. You work directly with our AE team, and everything you capture feeds directly into our AI training pipeline.
What You’ll Do
This is the best entry point into tech sales. We’re rapidly growing, and for the right person, this is a foot in the door to a closing role at one of the fastest-moving companies in the industry. If you’re hungry, coachable, and want to learn the business from the ground up—apply.
Compensation Range: $60K - $80K
