Regional Vice President Business Development

National Lenders General Agency (NLGA) is expanding its Business Development team and is seeking 2-3 experienced, results-driven Regional Vice Presidents to drive new business acquisition and territory growth across our dealership, lender, and independent finance company channels.

This is an individual contributor sales role focused on the direct sale of NLGA’s automotive Finance & Insurance (F&I) product suite, including Vehicle Service Contracts (VSC), Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP), Limited Warranty, and related ancillary F&I products, along with Collateral Protection Insurance (CPI). Candidates must bring hands-on F&I product sales experience from day one; prior CPI sales or program experience is a strong plus.

The Regional Vice President owns territory production, pipeline development, and key dealer/lender relationships, while working cross-functionally with Operations, Underwriting, Claims, Marketing, and Compliance to deliver a superior dealer experience and profitable growth.

We are prioritizing candidates in and around Chicago, St. Louis, Oklahoma City, Nashville, Charlotte, Orlando, Lubbock, Salt Lake City, and Phoenix, but will consider strong F&I sales talent in any territory.

• Represent NLGA at trade shows and industry events to generate new business.
• Partner with Operations, Underwriting, Claims, Marketing, and Compliance for smooth onboarding and service.
• Track performance, report results, and maintain required licensing and compliance.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience selling automotive F&I products, including Vehicle Service Contracts (VSC), Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP), Limited Warranty, or similar ancillary products, is required.
• Prior experience with Collateral Protection Insurance (CPI) sales or programs is a strong plus.
• 5+ years of commercial Business-to-Business (B2B) sales experience, ideally selling to auto dealers, BHPH operators, lenders, or finance companies.
• Proven success as a high-performing B2B sales professional with the ability to sell consultatively to business owners and C-suite executives.
• Experience managing complex sales cycles and contracts.
• Strong negotiation, presentation, and closing skills, with the ability to independently manage a territory and prioritize revenue-generating activity.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, CRM platforms, and related sales technologies (e.g., Stone Eagle, PCMI, Virtual F&I).
• Bachelor's degree preferred but not required.
• Willingness to travel extensively, including regular overnight travel, to support dealers, lenders, sales teams, and industry events.
