• Live Flexibly: Enjoy the freedom of being your own boss, setting your schedule and balancing work and life priorities.
• Capitalize on our support: Lead generation programs and strategic marketing programs provided at no cost – you’ll be representing one of our premier funeral home partners in qualified meetings with clients that typically last 90 minutes.
• Experience recognition of a lifetime: Precoa Escapes Sales Incentive Trips for you and your family.
• Advance your career: A current life insurance license or ability to obtain one will give you professional credentials to use now and in the future.

Be independent, not alone

As an Advanced Funeral Planner, you have a dedicated team of over 50 agents setting appointments and helping you know as much as possible about your clients. Precoa’s field management provides you with organizational tools, mentorship, and coaching to succeed in a unique and growing industry.
