Life Insurance Sales Executive

Life Insurance Sales Executive | £30,000 Base increasing up to £36,000 + Uncapped Commission | £45,000+ OTE | No Cold Calling!

Turn a previous “no” into a new opportunity.

Sometimes, securing life insurance isn’t straightforward. A customer may have previously been declined or had their application postponed because of their health or lifestyle, but that doesn’t necessarily mean their journey ends there.

That's where you come in.

At Protect Line, we’re looking for an experienced sales professional to reconnect with customers who have previously been declined or postponed for cover and explore whether there could now be another option available. You’ll take ownership of these customers, managing your own pipeline and progressing opportunities from that first conversation through to an outcome.

This isn’t your typical sales role. You’ll combine your sales ability, problem-solving skills and people skills to understand each customer’s circumstances, explore potential options with insurers and help them navigate what can sometimes be a complex and sensitive journey.

And there’s NO cold calling. You’ll be speaking to customers who have previously engaged with us about protecting themselves and their loved ones.

What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll reconnect with customers whose life insurance applications have previously been declined or postponed, taking the time to understand their circumstances and explore whether there could now be another route to cover.

A big part of this role is taking ownership of your own customer pipeline. You’ll manage multiple customers at different stages of their journey, knowing what needs to happen next, following up at the right time and keeping things moving towards an outcome.

Some applications may require additional information or conversations with insurers before a decision can be reached, so you’ll need to be proactive, organised and comfortable managing customers over time. You’ll build relationships, maintain momentum and make sure opportunities don’t get lost along the way.

You’ll work closely with customers and insurers, gathering additional information, progressing applications and keeping customers informed and supported throughout the process.

This is a role that combines sales, pipeline management, problem-solving and attention to detail. You’ll need the drive to spot opportunities and progress them, while also having the patience and organisation to manage a varied pipeline effectively.

You don’t need previous life insurance or underwriting experience, as we’ll give you the training and support you need to build your knowledge. What’s more important is that you’re an experienced salesperson who can manage a pipeline, prioritise opportunities, follow up consistently and build relationships over time, while communicating with confidence, empathy and care.

But what really makes Protect Line different is our culture and purpose ‘Investing in our People to Protect yours.’

People join us for all sorts of reasons – earning potential, career progression, job security or purpose. They stay because of the people around them. When life takes people in a different direction, some of our team move on, only to return — because they miss the culture, support and opportunity.

Ready to use your sales experience to make a real difference?
If you’re an experienced salesperson who enjoys owning a pipeline, following opportunities through and building relationships with customers over time, we’d love to hear from you.

You don’t need previous life insurance experience. We’ll give you the training and support to develop your knowledge. You just need to bring your sales experience, organisation, drive and determination to keep opportunities moving forward.

Whilst we would love to respond to every application we receive, it isn’t always possible due to the high volume we receive each day. If you haven’t heard from us within 7 working days, please assume that your application has not been successful.
