American Family agent selection

The agent selection process is designed to help you evaluate the agency opportunity and to help American Family Insurance assess your knowledge, skills and abilities.

The American Family Insurance selection process can be challenging. But it is designed to allow you to explore this career opportunity without terminating your current employment - making it low-risk for you. If at any time during the process you feel this opportunity is not for you, you may simply withdraw from the process without any obligations.

Here is a summary of what you may encounter during the agent selection process:

  • You'll apply by contacting a local District Manager or submitting your resume online through Careerbuilder.
  • You'll complete and submit the online Agency application, motor vehicle report (MVR) authorization and credit bureau report (CBR).
  • You are contacted by a District Manger or recruiter and begin a series of meetings and interviews. During this time you learn more about what's involved in a career as an American Family Insurance agent.
  • You may be asked to practice prospecting (lead generation). This allows you and the district manager to evaluate your prospecting skills.
  • You are introduced to basic insurance training materials and asked to study material regarding American Family Insurance's products.
  • You and the District Manager discuss items such as production goals, the American Family Insurance Agreement, estimated income and business expenses.
  • You and the District Manager discuss your eligibility for the Agent Finance Plan.
  • You begin preparation for your state insurance licensing exam and security license exams. This step requires a commitment of time on your behalf as well as incurring a small expense for the licensing exam fees.

When you have successfully completed these steps, you then are appointed as an American Family Insurance agent!

Our goal is to identify and appoint outstanding individuals to our agency opportunities. To accomplish this, the selection process may take some time and involve some expense. But keep in mind that you are not simply applying for a job; an American Family Insurance agency is an opportunity to own your own business with the backing of a stable, growing and respected company. We hope you'll consider the challenge!
