Ford College Graduate Program Jobs (NOW HIRING)

$73,000+ Year-1 Target Earnings | $48,000 Base + 50% Commission on New Business

Full-time | In-Office | Dallas, TX

Start your career building a professional network and growing a book of business advising clients on insurance and risk management.

You’ll be mentored by experienced advisors who will help you learn how to build a successful career in the industry.

This is not a typical entry-level job. As a Risk Management Advisor, you will build relationships with referral partners who connect you with potential clients who need insurance. Then you help those clients protect their homes, vehicles, and assets by recommending the right insurance coverage for their needs.

You’ll start with a $48,000 base salary while building your pipeline, plus 50% commission on every new policy you sell.

Our Year-1 new business sales target is $50,000, which puts first-year advisors on pace for ~$73,000 total income including base salary. Top performers have earned significantly more than this in their first year.

Over time, the book of business you build begins generating renewal income, creating a long-term career where past work continues to pay you.

If you're competitive, relationship-driven, and motivated by building something of your own, keep reading.

You will build a professional network and grow a book of business from the ground up while learning directly from successful advisors on our team.

What a typical week looks like:

• Meet with realtors, mortgage brokers, and financial advisors to build referral partnerships
• Introduce yourself to new referral partners and stay top-of-mind with existing partners
• Advise prospective clients on insurance coverage for homes, autos, and personal assets
• Help clients understand their risks and choose the right protection
• Quote and sell insurance policies through our carrier partners
• Follow up with clients and referral partners to build long-term relationships
• Maintain organized pipeline activity and notes in our CRM

This is a relationship-driven sales role. Your success comes from building trust with referral partners who send you clients over time, and from happy clients who refer people they know.

You won’t be thrown into the deep end. New advisors complete a 4-week structured training program covering:

• Insurance fundamentals
• Sales and relationship development
• Carrier products and quoting systems
• Referral partner development strategies

After training you will:

• Work closely with a Senior Risk Management Advisor mentor
• Receive ongoing coaching and development
• Have the support of our Sales Director to help you build and execute your production plan

Our goal is to help you build a long-term career and book of business.

Requirements

You’ll likely do very well here if you:

• Are naturally competitive
• Enjoy meeting new people and building relationships
• Want control over your income and career growth
• Stay organized and follow through on commitments
• Are comfortable with sales and performance expectations
• Want to build a professional network early in your career

Strong backgrounds include: Business • Finance • Economics • Marketing • Communications • Sales-oriented internships • Campus leadership roles

Benefits

This role is designed to help you build a long-term book of business.

Starting compensation:

• $48,000 base salary
• 50% commission on new business you produce
• Year-1 production goal: $50,000 new business
• Typical first-year earnings: ~$73,000+

As your book grows:

• Clients continue renewing their policies with you.
• Those renewals generate ongoing renewal commission income over time.

When renewal commissions on your book consistently exceed your base salary, you transition to Senior Risk Management Advisor and begin receiving those renewal commissions directly. You continue to receive 50% commission on all new customers’ policies you bring in.

Senior advisors earn a significant portion of their income from the renewal book they’ve built. This creates a career where past production continues generating income year after year.
