From The San Antonio Business Journal

The owner of Shelly Alvarez Insurance & Financial Services PLLC is launching a major recruiting and hiring campaign in San Antonio and throughout South Texas.

Shelly Alvarez says she plans to hire about 15 agents, brokers and other individuals eager to enter the insurance industry.

In order to do this, Alvarez says she will hold about four recruiting events this year, starting in early August in McAllen.

Cities like McAllen and Laredo, Alvarez says, are growing rapidly and present opportunities for her company.

“With the current economy, now is the prime time to learn about how to protect clients’ wealth and their legacy through insurance and other financial resources,” she says. “Our goal is to have 15 agents by the end of the year and double that number by next year.”

The recruiting events will seek to attract new agents and brokers and to offer existing agents and brokers an opportunity to become affiliated with the locally based company as well as provide them information on the products they would be selling. “They (new agents) will also be provided extensive training, to keep them abreast of constantly changing guidelines or regulations within the insurance industry,” Alvarez says.

Shelly Alvarez Insurance & Financial Services is an independent insurance broker and financial services company. It markets corporate and individual insurance benefits, such as annuities, life, health and disability insurance, Medicare supplements and long-term care products.
