The Role: Outside Sales Professional

Location: San Francisco Bay Area (Marin, San Francisco, Peninsula)

About the Company

HireBetter’s client is a leading public insurance adjusting firm with over 65 years of experience helping homeowners and property owners recover after catastrophic losses. Unlike insurance carriers, they represent the policyholder only, ensuring clients receive fair settlements when they need it most.

Their reputation is built on advocacy, expertise, and trust—and they are expanding their presence across California.

About the Role

This is not a desk job and not a transactional sales role.

We’re looking for a confident, resilient Outside Sales Professional who thrives in the field, enjoys face-to-face conversations, and can quickly build trust with people who are dealing with major property damage due to fire, water, storms, or other losses.

You’ll often meet homeowners within days of a loss, educate them on their options, and help them decide whether to hire professional representation. You are not expected to be an insurance expert on day one—training and backend support are provided.

If you’ve worked in construction, restoration, remediation, roofing, home services, or other relationship-driven outside sales roles, this will feel familiar.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Travel locally and regionally across the Bay Area to assigned properties (company provides daily leads)
• Meet property owners on-site shortly after a loss event
• Explain, in plain language, how the claims process works and how the firm advocates for clients
• Build trust quickly through empathy, professionalism, and confidence
• Lead consultative conversations that result in signed representation agreements
• Work closely with internal estimators, adjusters, and claims experts (you are not closing claims yourself)
• Compete effectively with contractors, carriers, and other adjusters in the field
• Transition clients smoothly to the claims team so you can stay focused on new opportunities

What We’re Looking For

• Proven success in outside, field-based, or relationship-driven sales
• Backgrounds we often see succeed:
• Construction / restoration / remediation
• Roofing or home services sales
• Insurance-related sales
• Military or veterans transitioning into sales
• Strong communication skills and emotional intelligence
• Comfortable working independently and managing your own schedule
• Resilient, competitive, and self-motivated
• Willingness to travel throughout the Bay Area (some days will be long, some shorter)

Why This Role Attracts Top Performers

• No cold calling
• Strong brand reputation that opens doors
• High earning potential for those who perform
• Mission-driven work — you’re helping people during one of the hardest moments of their lives
• Clear path for growth as the California market expands

Location Requirements

• Must live in the San Francisco Bay Area
• Strong preference for candidates in Marin County, San Francisco, or the Peninsula
• Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship

Compensation & Earning Potential

This is a performance-driven role with significant upside.

• 90 days of paid onboarding and training to set you up for success
• Ongoing guaranteed compensation floor of ~$12K–$15K/month as commissions ramp
• Year 1 on-target earnings: ~$150K–$220K
• Year 2+: $300K+ for consistent performers
• Top producers: $450K–$600K+ annually

You’ll receive structured onboarding and full backend support so you can focus on closing new opportunities.

Final Note

This role isn’t for everyone. It requires grit, empathy, and comfort being in the field—often in emotionally charged situations.

But for the right person, it offers meaningful work, autonomy, and exceptional income potential.

Please note: Applicants for employment in the U.S. must possess work authorization that does not require sponsorship for a visa now or in the future.
