Insurance Agent Jobs in Charleston, SC

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.
