Insurance Marketer

 
Insurance Marketer

Are you motivated by the thrill of the win?  Do you like to dig into the data and put together an unbeatable proposal?  I might have a position for you!

Cottingham & Butler is looking for an Insurance Marketer.  This is not a marketing position in the classical sense- our marketers negotiate with insurance companies to get competitive pricing for our clients.  You will build strong relationships with the insurance companies which will enable you to craft the best deals for your clients. 
 
The other part of your position will be to conduct reviews of our prospective clients current policies.  You will dig into their existing coverages to identify the gaps created by their existing broker. It is a great opportunity for Cottingham & Butler (and YOU!) to demonstrate the capabilities and talent of our team – we aren’t just telling them that we are the best, we are actually showing them!  There are many situations where we are able to give the company more coverage and save them money at the same time. 

Why Cottingham & Butler?  

 
Cottingham & Butler is the 23rd largest insurance broker in the U.S. and a recognized leader in offering innovative property & casualty and employee benefit insurance solutions.  The company is headquartered in Dubuque, Iowa, and employs over 950 employees across the U.S.  Cottingham & Butler provides a full suite of risk management and employee benefits services.  We believe that our success is a direct result of our culture and the employees that make us the company we are.  Our employees: 
 
Believe in personal excellence

  • We hire for attitude and character first; experience is a plus, but not required
  • We look for individuals with a history of success and an insatiable desire to succeed

Commit to Development

  • We expect every employee to become an expert in their area – knowing something isn’t a luxury here, it’s an expectation.
  • We don’t believe in boundaries – we believe that individuals if given the opportunity, can achieve at levels they themselves would never have imagined.

Thrive on Challenge

  • We head for trouble right away – we know that facing adversity head on makes us better in the long run.
  • We believe that to grow you must often “stretch” into a zone of discomfort – we encourage the stretch.

 Qualified candidates will have a bachelor’s degree and a strong desire to put together winning deals.  No insurance experience necessary – we hire people for the qualities that can’t be taught (driven, strong work ethic, self-starter, hard working, and energetic) and commit to training them on the rest.
