Insurance Advisor

**Your role**

Your success in this role comes from your passion for helping people and your knowledgeable approach. You have strong social skills and genuinely believe it’s fun interacting with new people. You’re good at making real connections with potential clients because you have great listening skills. Once you know what a client needs, you take pride in being able to personalize a policy to those needs and, hopefully, to pass on some savings.

Over 90% of your day is spent on the phone, handling inbound calls and making outbound calls. You never pressure clients into buying a policy, but you’re also not scared to ask for the sale. Dealing with different calls and clients, you tailor your interaction to the situation at hand. And if challenges arise during a call, you take ownership and find graceful ways to deal with them.

One of the things you enjoy most about Square One is the supportive team environment. You’re never set up for failure; instead, you get all the coaching and training that you need to succeed.

**Your compensation + benefits**

You appreciate the fact that Square One tailors your compensation and benefits in the same way it tailors policies for its clients. Your very competitive compensation and benefits plan includes:

- Salary: 48,000 - $60,000
- The ability to work from home.
- Flexible medical, dental, vision and extended health care coverage.
- Short and long-term disability coverage.
- Participation in the corporate profit-sharing plan.

**Your responsibilities**

Working in Square One’s call centre, you are the first and main point of contact for both potential and existing clients. As such, you have many important responsibilities, including:

**Your qualifications**

As a member of the Square One team, you have a desire to direct your own work to achieve the responsibilities of your role. You do this by becoming an expert at what you do, and by working with a team that has a broader purpose than just making profit. Those who you work with would describe you as someone who:

- Enjoys working with others and has a passion for helping clients.
