What are the responsibilities and job description for the Territory Sales Partner - North and South Houston position at Trupanion?
Job Description
Are you searching for entrepreneurial opportunities in thriving industries? Our current North & South Houston Territory Partner is looking for a successor to be the future owner of this already-established business within the rapidly growing pet medical insurance industry!
Job Description
Historically, pet owners have paid for veterinary care with discretionary income, savings, credit cards, or other loans. Medical care for a pet sometimes involves sophisticated and costly treatments that are out of reach for many owners. Those without medical coverage may be forced to choose less expensive, sub-standard alternatives. This puts veterinarians in the position of having to determine treatment options based on an owner’s finances.
Pet owners in the United States and Canada collectively own approximately 180 million dogs and cats and less than 3% have medical coverage for their pets. Hospitals see a benefit in their bottom line when they have a client base that can pay for treatments that may otherwise be out of their financial means. And Trupanion's dedication provides a solid foundation for the success of our Territory Partners, who reap the rewards of pets that stay enrolled through residual income.
Why Partner with Trupanion?
For the last 10 years, our revenue and the number of Trupanion enrolled pets have increased every quarter. We attribute our rapid growth to our unique approach to insuring pets. Our comprehensive plan has no payout limits and covers chronic, congenital, and hereditary conditions not present at enrollment.
We’re the only provider with patented in-hospital software to process and pay claims directly to hospitals in minutes, while pet owners are at checkout! Thousands of hospitals have partnered with us to take advantage of this and the many additional benefits that our software provides.
Unlike others in the industry, we own the Trupanion brand and do not have to pay royalties for our brand name. For companies that do not own their brand, they lose an additional 3–5 points of brand franchising expense.
We set an industry high with our 98.6% monthly retention rate, and that rate continues to increase!
While we generate revenue from premiums, unlike our competitors, our policy runs month-to-month rather than annually. Our growing, loyal base of members provides the potential for predictable revenue and uncapped income potential for our Territory Partners.
Why our Territory Partners are essential to our growth:
By expanding our Territory Partner network and increasing direct marketing to veterinarians, the amount of hospitals that actively introduce Trupanion to their clients is greatly increased.
A Trupanion Territory Partner serves as a consultant to Trupanion and is the exclusive representative for our pet health insurance product within their market. This role oversees either North and/or South Houston and will be connected to a network of 60 other Territory Partners across North America.
Our partners are a significant link between veterinary hospitals and our company. Territory Partners build relationships and educate veterinarians, vet techs, and office staff about how having clients who are insured by Trupanion will not only benefit their practice, but also the lives of the companion animals and families they serve.
Compensation:
Owning a business as a Territory Partner directly compensates you for the work you put in. Unlike other business opportunities, working as a Territory Partner offers the possibility of long-term passive income. Income is commission-based but also includes a monthly residual. Each new policy that enrolls within your exclusive region generates a ten-dollar commission. After enrollment, Territory Partners receive monthly residual income for their active policies in the region, with an average policy life span of over 73 months. With the residual income model, your compensation will grow each month as your enrolled pets increase and provide you with the opportunity for uncapped income.
The North & South Houston territories have the unique advantage of already having an established Territory Partner who has been cultivating the business since 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is now seeking a successor to take over. If you have the start-up capital to purchase the current territory momentum, you could succeed as the Territory Partner in North and/or South Houston. Further, if you would like to take over the current book of monthly residuals, to begin with a residual base as you start your business, you may do that upfront or over the course of the next 1-3 years. Terms to be negotiated.
As a business owner, your territory serves all small animal veterinary clinics in the North and/or South Houston area. Candidates are expected to reside near or within the area. Your expected costs will include your time, travel, food, refreshments for hospitals, and any additional marketing materials you choose to purchase.
This is not a franchise or brokerage. There are no franchise fees and this business does not necessitate a brick-and-mortar operation.
This position is contingent on successfully obtaining a Property and Casualty license in Texas. The licensing process involves an additional state, or provincial, background check that looks into a candidate's entire history from age 18 onward.
