Here’s a reality check:
The job you’re hiring for honestly sucks. The pay is typically low, the work is usually shite, and in general everyone hates insurance salesmen.

But, it’s a job and it can certainly be treated as such. By that I mean to find a reliable worker and train them to do what you need. If you’re looking to find someone who is going to be tell you how gung-ho they are to wake up everyday saying their passion is insurance, you need a hard reset in reality. You certainly don’t need a Harvard graduate, and honestly id venture to say you really barely need a HS diploma if you’re reliable.

My department doesn't do sales, we're on the service side, worker's compensation claims to be specific (and also why it's required by law). Our entry level salary is 60k. I only take credit for giving people the opportunity, they achieve success through hard work. Several people I have hired are now leaders both in my department and in other roles.

Had an applicant a couple months ago for a jr civil survey position. Dude's name was Christopher but legit on his cover letter he had a couple of personal details about himself, certified diver, can speak French, etc. But then it said you can call me Topher.

Sorry bro, I'm not interviewing you if you wish to be addressed as Topher.
