Sales Manager

Job Description
Have you ever wanted to build a career that gives you more control over your future, but wished you had the right training, mentorship, and support before taking that next step?

Farmers Insurance offers a unique Agency Mentorship Program designed for driven individuals who want to learn what it takes to successfully run an insurance agency before launching one of their own.

This 12-month mentorship program allows you to work directly alongside an experienced Farmers mentor agent, gaining hands‑on experience in agency operations, sales, client relationships, team development, marketing, retention, and agency growth.

You will not be learning from the sidelines. You will be actively developing the skills, habits, and knowledge needed to build and lead a successful agency.

As you grow through the program and reach the required premium goals, you may be eligible to graduate into your own Farmers agency — without needing the initial capital review typically required to open an agency.

This program is ideal for someone who has the drive to lead, grow, and create a long‑term career path, but wants structure, real‑world experience, and mentorship before launching independently.
