Branch Manager

Temmen Insurance is one of Missouri's fastest-growing independent agencies. We help seniors, veterans and families find the right health, Medicare and life insurance coverage, at no cost to them. Our in-house marketing team brings in thousands of inbound leads every month, so our agents talk to people who asked to hear from us instead of cold calling.

We're opening a branch in Cape Girardeau, and we need a local leader to build it. You'll start with an empty office and the full support of an established agency: leads, technology, training, carrier contracts, compliance and back office. Your job is to hire the team, set the culture and run the office like you own it. The branch runs on its own P&L, and your profit share comes from it.

What you'll do

• Build the team: recruit, hire, license and onboard sales agents, growing to 8–12 producers in year one
• Run the floor: lead daily huddles, set activity and conversion targets, and keep a visible scoreboard
• Coach every week: review recorded calls, run one-on-ones and role-plays, and turn new hires into consistent producers
• Own the numbers: dials, contact rate, close rate, policies placed, persistency and the branch's profit and loss
• Protect compliance: keep every agent within state, carrier and federal marketing rules
• Lead from the front: take calls and close business yourself when the team needs it, especially during peak season (Oct–Dec)
• Represent us locally: be the face of Temmen Insurance in Southeast Missouri through the community, referral partners and local recruiting
• Report to ownership: send weekly results and help decide how the office grows

What success looks like

• First 90 days: office open, first 4–5 agents hired and licensed, daily rhythm in place
• First 6 months: team hitting activity and conversion targets, branch reaching break-even
• Year one: 8–12 producers and a profitable branch, with a bench of future team leads

What we're looking for

• 3+ years leading a sales team against a quota. Insurance, financial services, auto, wireless, banking, call center or any other high-activity sales background works.
• A proven record of hiring and developing reps who hit their numbers. You've built a team, not just inherited one.
• Comfortable with KPIs, dashboards, a CRM/dialer and phone-based sales
• Rooted in Southeast Missouri, or committed to moving here
• Missouri Life & Health license, or able to earn it within 30 days (we'll help)
• Medicare or senior-market experience is a plus, not a requirement
• Must pass a background check required for insurance licensing

What you get

• $80,000 base salary plus profit sharing on the Cape Girardeau branch. As the office grows, your pay grows with it.
• Company-provided leads, dialer/CRM and marketing. You never buy your own leads.
• A proven sales process, scripts, training and back-office support from day one
• A real path to General Manager as the office grows
• Direct access to ownership, with no corporate red tape
