Top commercial producers don't leave good desks for vague promises. So here's the straight version of what this desk looks like.
Virgil E. Smith Insurance Services is an independent, growth-stage Houston agency hiring a Commercial Insurance Producer to hunt and close new business — with the agency infrastructure behind you to make big production numbers realistic, not aspirational.
What makes this desk different:
-
You sell. We service. Once you close an account, our service team takes it off your plate entirely — no renewal remarketing, no certificate requests, no service calls eating your selling hours. 100% of your time goes into the activity that pays you.
-
Independent agency, multiple carrier appointments. You place the risk with the right fit instead of forcing it into one carrier's appetite — better hit ratios, fewer lost deals.
-
Underwriting relationships, not just quoting volume. We put submissions in front of carriers the right way, so your work converts.
-
Hybrid schedule based in the Clear Lake/Houston area, with flexibility to work where you're most productive.
Earnings: $80,000–$150,000 first year. Guaranteed base salary plus uncapped new-business commission. Your base covers your life; your commission is where the real money is. Producers hitting standard activity benchmarks land in the $80K–$110K range in year one; proven closers with an established pipeline reach $150K+.
This is a hunter's comp plan — we pay aggressively on new business. If you have a prospecting engine (centers of influence, referral partners, a niche you know cold) and you want an agency that moves at your speed instead of slowing you down, this seat was built for you.
Salary Range: $80,000.00 - $150,000.00 per year
