Sales Training and Readiness Program
Job Information
Program Overview
The curriculum begins with extensive training on Reliance Standard’s group employee benefit products and services, underwriting, and overall business acumen. You will gain knowledge of the various roles and responsibilities within a regional sales office and become proficient in pre sales activities. During this time, you will be fully sponsored to obtain your state insurance license.
On-the-job training is an essential component to your success and you will be provided opportunities to job shadow and network. You will learn the key elements of selling a case and bridge your newly developed skills with practical application.
