Sales Account Executive

We truly live by our business model: Change the world by protecting one family at a time. We maintain relationships with clients and team members. We strive for excellence in all we do.

The duties of this role are primarily about making connections with other people. Relationships are formed quickly, informally, and comfortably, and gaining the enthusiasm and cooperation of others.
