JOB DESCRIPTION
The Service Agency, an insurance company located in downtown Ellsworth, Wisconsin, is growing and we are looking to add a full-time Customer Service and Marketing Representative. This position will help our busy independent agency with insurance sales support, ongoing marketing projects, inside sales, and a high level of service with our business and personal accounts.

You will assist with inside sales, including upselling to current clients and reaching out to prospects interested in insurance coverage.
You will also help with a range of marketing tactics, including advertising, social media, email campaigns, newsletters, website updates, outbound calling programs, public relations and community interaction.
If you are detail oriented, able to juggle multiple tasks simultaneously, can manage projects with ease, are comfortable with inside sales, and thrive in a family-centered team environment with a positive personality, you might be perfect for the job. Especially if you want to have a rewarding career for years at the Service Agency.
