About our Agency:Welcome! ¡Bienvenidos! I'm Alexa Santana, proud owner of the first-ever State Farm Agency in Rahway, New Jersey.
As a bilingual agent (hablo Inglés y Español) and lifelong Central New Jersey resident, I've built my agency on connection, compassion, and commitment. With a Bachelor of Science from Centenary University and over 23 years of State Farm experience, I earned the opportunity to open my doors as an agent in April 2021. Becoming a State Farm Agent isn't something that happens overnight-it's a journey built on helping others, something I'm deeply passionate about.
Being a Legacy Agent (my parents are also State Farm Agents), this career is more than a job-it's part of my family and my purpose. But my most important role? I'm a proud mom to an amazing child with autism. Being a special needs parent has shaped how I lead with empathy, advocate fiercely, and celebrate every milestone-at home and in business.
My passion is helping others feel confident about their future by preparing for the unexpected and making space for their goals and dreams.
We're here to serve the communities of New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania with Automobile, Homeowners, Renters, Condominium, Commercial, Pet, and Life Insurance. You can find us in the heart of the Rahway Arts District inside The Mall on East Cherry Street, right across from The Waiting Room Restaurant.
Position Overview:
Are you a people person who enjoys talking to others? Our State Farm Insurance office is looking for an enthusiastic Part-Time Telemarketer to connect with potential clients and introduce them to our insurance products and services.
Responsibilities:
  • Make outbound calls to prospective customers, engaging them in friendly and informative conversations.
  • Identify potential insurance needs and provide basic details about our services.
  • Set appointments for agents to provide quotes and further discuss coverage options.
  • Maintain accurate records of calls and update client information in the system.
  • Work closely with the sales team to support office goals.

Qualifications:
  • Enjoys speaking with people and has excellent communication skills.
  • Outgoing, persuasive, and comfortable making phone calls.
  • Prior experience in telemarketing or sales is a plus but not required.
  • Ability to work independently and collaborate as part of a team.
  • Bilingual Spanish preferred.

If this sounds like a great fit for you, we'd love to hear from you!
Compensation: $17.00 per hour
