Insurance agents sell something most customers do not want to buy. So 'sold policies' on a CV is not enough. Hiring managers want monthly policy counts, premium volume and retention rates. This template helps you put your numbers on paper without sounding like every other agent CV.
Copy these as starting points and swap in your own numbers.
2024–2025 estimates. Wide ranges by experience and seniority.
Yes, in most markets. Many agencies will hire you and help you get licensed within 3 to 6 months. If you already hold a license, your CV instantly stands out.

Yes. Since 2022 most agencies opened remote roles, and digital policy issuance lets you close fully online. Highlight CRM skills and cold-pipeline experience for these roles.
Entry roles run on a small base plus commission. Mid-level agents land in the typical range, top performers in auto and group health regularly clear the senior band on commission alone.
