Are you looking to kick‑start a meaningful career where you can learn, grow, and make a real impact for customers? As a Licensed Insurance Advisor , you’ll help individuals and families choose Health & Dental, Travel, and Life Insurance solutions that fit their needs—all while developing strong sales, communication, and customer experience skills.

You’ll work with customers already waiting to speak with you (no cold calling!) and be part of a supportive team that provides training, coaching, and continuous learning opportunities.

• No LLQP license yet? No problem.
• If you're motivated and ready to learn, we’ll sponsor your Harmonized LLQP education—covering the accredited course, exam, and licensing fees—so you’re fully prepared before your start date.

We are open between the hours of 8:00 am - 8:00 pm EST, Monday to Friday and 10:00 am-5:00 pm EST on Saturdays, offering shifts within these windows.

Position Responsibilities:

Support new clients by handling inbound calls about Health & Dental, Travel, and Life Insurance

Connect with customers who have already expressed interest through outbound calls

Assist clients through online chat and digital channels

Learn to understand client needs and recommend the right insurance solutions

Record client details and needs accurately using our online systems

Work toward monthly, quarterly, and annual sales and quality goals

Build strong customer relationships and develop your personal sales pipeline

​

Preferred Qualifications:

You’re a natural problem‑solver who can communicate comfortably with different types of clients to help guide them to the right solution

You’re confident navigating multiple screens or systems at once, and you’re eager to learn new tools (experience with MS Outlook, Salesforce, or other web‑based systems is a plus)

Experience in telephone sales or a call‑center environment is helpful, but not required

Previous exposure to insurance—especially Accident & Sickness or Life Insurance—is considered an asset

A post‑secondary degree is great to have, but equivalent work or volunteer experience is also strongly considered

Familiarity with Salesforce or another CRM platform is an advantage, but we’ll support your learning if you’re new to it
