Business Development Sales Representative (SDA110226)
Role Overview
SelectQuote is seeking experienced, driven, resilient, and results-oriented sales professionals to join our Qualifications Team as a Sales Development Advisor (SDA).
The SDA is an unlicensed, outbound sales position responsible for contacting prospective customers, generating interest in SelectQuote's products, understanding customer needs, overcoming objections, and transferring qualified prospects to a licensed insurance agent.
This is not a customer service role.
This is a high-volume, metrics-driven sales position.
Successful candidates must be comfortable making hundreds of outbound calls each day, working from established scripts and processes, handling rejection, and consistently working toward performance goals.
This role provides paid training, a base salary plus bonus opportunity, and a potential career path into a licensed sales agent position.
After demonstrating success in the role, SelectQuote will provide opportunities to enter a sales training program and assist with obtaining an insurance license.
Candidates who currently hold an insurance license will not be considered for this position.
After applying, qualified candidates will receive a phone call to complete our pre-screening questionnaire.
