Insurance Agent Jobs in Columbus, OH

An Insurance Agent serves as the primary link between insurance companies and clients, providing a broad range of services. They identify potential clients, understand their needs, and suggest suitable insurance policies to cover life, property, health, or automobile risks. They also maintain and update records of existing clients, renew policies, assist with claims processing, and ensure that clients understand policy terms and conditions. Insurance Agents are instrumental in expanding the customer base of the insurance industry by employing effective sales strategies and providing excellent customer service.

Important skills for an Insurance Agent include strong communication, empathy, problem-solving, and analytical skills. They should be able to interpret complex information and explain it in a simple, understandable manner to clients. Knowledge of laws, regulations, and the latest trends in the insurance industry is crucial. Certification such as Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU), Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC), or Certified Life Underwriter (CLU) can enhance job prospects. Prior to becoming an Insurance Agent, individuals often gain experience in roles such as Insurance Sales Representative, Customer Service Representative, or Claims Adjuster.
