Senior Commercial Insurance Producer, Agriculture-GA

To be competitive and increase business development opportunities many insurance brokerages are concentrating on building verticals.  This means more than a producer choosing to specialize in a particular industry.  A vertical niche, like agriculture in this instance, is about creating a platform where producers have specific centers of influence, develop a knowledge base of a particular business segment and manage marketing and service resources through critical mass.  This position is a terrific opportunity with a regional Southeast brokerage to focus on the development of agribusiness and farm and ranch operations.

Senior Commercial Insurance Producer, Agriculture Responsibilities:

• Concentrate on developing a pipeline of agribusiness, farm and ranch, livestock confinement and other ag related property driven operations in areas of the Southeast where economically ag business is thriving.  This will probably include the Carolinas south to Florida and then west into Texas.
• Develop centers of influence to create referral streams and forge key underwriting alliances with competitive markets writing good accounts in this space.
• Work closely with the agency’s senior leadership to identify challenges or the opportunity to recreate success in this vertical.  Assist with building out a service and marketing platform to support your new business production as well as other producers also focusing in this space.

Senior Commercial Insurance Producer, Agriculture Requirements:

• First and foremost you must be a producer; someone who is a true hunter and originator of new business with a successful track record of doing so with a retail agency or insurance brokerage.
• Be willing to tackle an emerging market and participate in discussions about strategic design and building up some resources from the ground floor.
• Be open to expanding your geographic footprint with the travel involved to write accounts in a regional footprint.
