This is quite possibly the best Trainee Commercial Account Executive opportunity that we have seen in the West Yorkshire market. And, given that we have been recruiting in this area for over 20 years, that is a big statement.

There is no doubt about it…this 4-day working week, home-based role, with constant appointments being generated – is an absolute ‘gem.’

Our client is a well-respected and extremely profitable regional independent insurance broker, which is led by a highly experienced management team. The company has an impressive portfolio of business, and because of its diligent approach to doing business, it is regularly taking business away from larger broking organisations who have in many cases become complacent. The company is enjoying impressive, year on year growth, which is the reason for the creation of this exciting new role.

The firm boasts a successful track record of taking on ambitious brokers, who aspire to be Commercial Account Executives. With full appointment-setting support, they have a history of helping people develop significant books of business. We must stress here that this IS NOT a hardcore sales role, which makes it a refreshing change from 99% of the Trainee Account Executive opportunities in the market.

Based from home, you will work in conjunction with the lead generators to secure new business, which you will continue to service. Your duties will include, but not be limited to, attending face to face meetings with prospects, fact-finding about their businesses, and presenting your findings to the account handling team in order for them to broke a competitive deal. You’ll enjoy dealing with a wide range of industry sectors and insurance programmes.

This position would suit a Commercial Account Handler / Broker, who has perhaps been ‘on a promise’ to become an Account Executive by their current employer, but this is failing to materialise.

It's essential that you have experience within commercial insurance broking, and that you have a good working knowledge of all commercial lines, including Property, Liability and Motor insurance. Just as importantly, you’ll have a passion for winning new business, building and managing relationships, and generating a significant amount of income for yourself as a result! Whilst there are sufficient leads from the appointment generators for you to build a substantial book, we are looking for someone who is keen to complement this by building their own connections too.

“We are looking for someone who is intelligent, engaging and interested, who ultimately wants to do a good job. And in return for that, they will be handsomely rewarded and have a great career here”, says the Director.

It is incredibly refreshing – talking to the Directors of this business. They have a no-nonsense approach to doing business, and far fewer internal barriers for career progression than many of their competitors.

An attractive basic salary is on offer, ranging from £35K - £55K (Depending on experience), together with company benefits including a car allowance, private medical insurance and pension.

You’ll also benefit from a highly lucrative bonus scheme based on new business acquired, and as your book grows, your basic salary will be raised accordingly.

Opportunities like this seldom come around, and we expect a great deal of interest in it. As such, we respectfully recommend applying without delay, in order to avoid major disappointment!
