• Record notes and next steps in the CRM so no follow-up slips
• Check in with each client while the carrier reviews their application
• Keep learning products, carriers, and state rules through ongoing training

Who this is a fit for

• Comfortable guiding someone from questions to a decision
• Willing to complete state licensing before selling; timelines vary by state
• A computer, a phone, and reliable internet
• At least 18 and legally authorized to work in the United States

What we provide

• Exclusive lead systems that put you in front of people who've already asked about coverage
• Direct mentorship from Ben and Andrea, who run the agency
• Weekly team calls, call reviews, and scripts available to agents
• Guidance through state licensing if you aren't licensed yet
