Licensed Insurance Agent

The Herd Lending · Tallahassee, United States

There are few careers where you can genuinely help someone and build a great income at the same time. Insurance is one of them!

At Brightway Insurance - The Herd Agency, we are looking for licensed and experienced insurance agents who want to create a better future for others and for themselves. You will help people protect their homes, vehicles, businesses, families, and financial security while building a book of business that can produce income for years to come.
This is a 100% commission-based sales position. Your income is driven by your effort and production, with no commission ceiling.
These positions can sit in our Middleburg HQ office or remote from anywhere in Florida.
Why You’ll Love This Opportunity
You will not be limited to offering clients one company or one solution. Through Brightway’s network of more than 80 insurance carriers, you can compare options and help each client find coverage suited to their needs.
You will also be able to focus on building relationships and writing new business. Brightway’s internal service team handles ongoing policy servicing and back-end support, giving you more time to connect with clients, grow your referral network, and increase your production. Most importantly, you will be building something of your own. Every policy you write can become part of a growing book of business, and eligible policies may generate recurring renewal commissions year after year. The work you put in today can continue rewarding you well into the future.
What You’ll Do
Talk with individuals, families, and business owners about what matters most to them
Help clients understand their risks and make confident coverage decisions
Quote and bind homeowners, auto, flood, liability, and other available insurance products
Compare options across Brightway’s extensive carrier network
Build trusted, long-term relationships with clients
Develop referral partnerships and pursue new sales opportunities
Grow a personal book of business and recurring renewal income
Meet a minimum monthly production requirement after your ramp-up period
We are looking for someone who listens well, cares about people, follows through, and is willing to work consistently toward meaningful goals.
Your Income Potential
Commissions are calculated as a percentage of the commission paid to the agency by the insurance carrier.
Based on current agency averages of a $2,025 policy premium and a 12% carrier commission rate, estimated commissions are:
New business: 65% of carrier commission—or approximately $158 per average policy written
Rewritten policies: 15% of carrier commission—or approximately $36 per average policy rewritten
Renewals: 10% of carrier commission—or approximately $24 per average policy renewed
Illustrative First-Year Earnings
Based on the agency averages above:
4 policies per week: approximately $32,800 per year
8 policies per week: approximately $65,700 per year
12 policies per week: approximately $98,600 per year
Grow Into a Leadership Opportunity
Agents who build their personal book to $1,000,000 in gross written premium may become eligible to recruit another licensed agent and earn agency-paid overrides on that agent’s production.
Eligible overrides include:
New business: 5% of carrier commission
Rewritten policies: 2.5% of carrier commission
Renewals: 2.5% of carrier commission
These overrides are paid by the agency in addition to the recruited agent’s full commission. If a recruited agent leaves the agency, their book may transfer to the recruiting agent, who may then become eligible for the applicable 10% renewal commission on retained policies, subject to agency terms and policy retention.
