WHO WE ARE:
AutoRisk is an established and successful property and casualty agency niched in the automotive industry. We provide relevant insurance placement services, sensible risk management, safety and compliance services, and industry practice advice.
We’re seeking to expand in the Southwest region (AZ, UT) through establishing a long-term partnership inclusive of equity ownership! This is a unique opportunity for a highly entrepreneurial individual to become part of our well-respected, “virtual” insurance agency.
WHAT WE OFFER:
AutoRisk operates with autonomy and independence through utilizing technology to connect our staff and specialized providers to provide customized solutions to our clients. We have contracts with leading regional and national insurers and offer you a platform of resources and give you the tools and infrastructure to build your own success.
The use of technology enables domestic and foreign subcontractors to process new business quote requests, routine service requests, customer service requests and renewal support and processing. These services are provided on a “menu” approach, meaning you only pay for the services that you need and use. This saves serious money compared to the “old world” model of having an 8 am to 5 pm Customer Service staff, and as you start out you can service your own book to save cash flow.
We have a marketing platform and brand oriented around offering best-in-class service for “product placement services” (certificates of insurance, id cards and other routine customer service requests) and we go on to include “safety and compliance services” that meet OSHA requirements.
If you’re a highly independent, self-motivated individual with a proven track record of success in the insurance industry AND you’re seeking an opportunity to develop an insurance practice with rights of ownership, we want to hear from you!
