Frequently asked questions
What does an Insurance Sales Manager do day-to-day?
Insurance Sales Managers oversee sales teams, set revenue targets, and develop strategies to meet or exceed sales goals. Their day typically includes coaching team members, reviewing sales pipelines, managing client relationships, handling high-value accounts, conducting performance reviews, and reporting metrics to senior leadership. They also ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and company policies.
What experience and certifications are typically required?
Most Insurance Sales Managers have 5+ years in insurance sales and at least 2-3 years in a supervisory or management role. They must hold the appropriate state insurance licenses (typically Life and Health, Property and Casualty, or both) and maintain continuing education credits. Many employers prefer candidates with Series 7 or Series 65 certifications if they handle securities-based insurance products. Some positions may require a bachelor's degree in business, finance, or a related field.
