The Insurance Sales Producer in Training (PIT) Program includes six months of dedicated training including all necessary courses to earn 2-15 and 2-20 licenses, insurance coverage training, value-added service training, sales training, and professional development. All of these are accomplished through a combination of the traditional classroom, virtual classroom, presentations, and longer-form projects. Additionally, the majority of our training is conducted by Waller Employees or broker and carrier partners. This allows participants to meet and form relationships with the teams and carriers who they will be working with once actively selling. Because our agency has committed so completely to this model, it is clear that we believe in the platform’s ability to create the future generation of successful Insurance Sales Producers that will allow us to meet and exceed our current and future goals.

Once the employee has completed training, PITs are paid a salary for up to 24 months, during which time they are also eligible for a monthly production bonus. After validating their salary, Insurance Sales Producers have uncapped earning potential and the ability to create residual income.
