How do you describe a life insurance agent job on a resume?

To get started, you should write a strong profile summary. The profile summary is a concise, one to three-sentence statement that touches on who you are as a candidate and what you bring to the table. We recommend, including how long you've worked in the life insurance or customer service, what your focus is, and an achievement or core skill that you have.

For example, "Efficient insurance agent with over five years of experience, skilled in upselling and qualifying leads. Booked an average of $350,000 in new sales per year."

Next, you should elaborate on the specific experiences you have had working as an insurance agent. Similar to the profile summary, you should convey your experience using real-world examples and achievements, as well as quantifiable measurements of success.

For example, "Maintained 85% sales rate on inbound queries through active listening, interpersonal skills, and product knowledge."

If you're just starting out your career as a life insurance agent, be sure to include any related experience, such as in customer service. Also, include any educational achievements or certifications you may have earned along the way.
