Sales Representative

Role Value Proposition

As a Regional Markets sales representative, you'll play a critical role in supporting MetLife's growth. This team provides global benefits, sales, and solutions to U.S.-based employers with fewer than 5,000 employees, with a focus under 100 employees-and with over 15,000 customers, it generates approximately $1.1 billion in annual sales and $4+ billion in revenue. Industry-wide, this $52 billion market typically grows 3-4%-but thanks to our exceptional team, MetLife consistently achieves 6-7% growth.

You'll help us maintain this momentum, working closely with advisors to small businesses who want to expand their employee benefits. The position is focused on generating new sales activities while maintain our existing relationships. At the same time, you'll work collaboratively with various other departments, allowing you to explore new career possibilities and develop new strengths.

Our sales representatives are focused on employers with under 100 employees, and work in coordination with a partner Account Executive in select cases with additional employees.
