Who this is a fit for

• A background in banking, lending, or credit union member service
• Comfortable with forms, disclosures, and precise recordkeeping
• Able to talk about family finances respectfully and without pressure
• A state life insurance license, or a plan to get licensed before your first sale
• Self-directed, planning your own day and your own follow-up
• At least 18 and legally authorized to work in the United States

What we provide

• Exclusive lead systems built for people who've already raised their hand about coverage
• Contracts with 43 carriers, which gives you real options for every family you serve
• Mentorship straight from Ben and Andrea, the people who run the agency
• Weekly team calls, call reviews, and scripts available to agents
