Job description

If you've sold before, you know results come from process. This 100% remote, 1099 independent-contractor life insurance sales role lets you apply that discipline to families who already asked about coverage.

What you'll actually do

• Work your own pipeline of people who requested life insurance information
• Run discovery conversations before presenting, then match options to what you learn
• Quote through carrier tools and submit applications during the client appointment
• Chase each case through underwriting until it is issued or closed out
• Keep CRM records clean so your pipeline is always accurate
• Study carrier guidelines and state rules as they change

Who this is a fit for

• A track record of selling where results depend on your own work
• Comfortable managing yourself without daily direction
• Strong follow-up habits, because cases don't move without attention
• A state life insurance license, or a plan to get licensed before your first sale
• Comfortable using web-based quoting platforms and a CRM
• At least 18 and legally authorized to work in the United States

What we provide

• Access to exclusive lead systems built around people who've already asked about coverage
• Contracts with 43 carriers, so you recommend what fits instead of one company's lineup
• One-on-one mentorship from Ben and Andrea, who run the agency
• Weekly team calls, plus call reviews, scripts, and ride-alongs when you want them
