Job description

Trades and field service pros know how to talk with homeowners about real decisions. This 100% remote, 1099 independent-contractor life insurance sales role moves that experience indoors, away from the job site and the weather.

What you'll actually do

• Follow up with people who requested information and set appointments by phone or video
• Ask about the household before presenting anything, like scoping a job before quoting it
• Walk through coverage options and complete the application together
• Follow each case through underwriting and update the client along the way
• Log calls, notes, and next steps in the CRM
• Learn products, carriers, and state rules through ongoing training

Who this is a fit for

• A background in skilled trades, construction, or field service
• Comfortable giving a straight answer, including "that one isn't right for you"
• Willing to learn software, including quoting tools and a CRM
• A state life insurance license, or a plan to get licensed before your first sale
• Self-directed, managing your own schedule with no foreman
• At least 18 and legally authorized to work in the United States

What we provide

• Guidance through state licensing if you aren't licensed yet
• Contracts with 43 carriers, so you recommend what fits instead of one company's lineup
• Access to exclusive lead systems built around people who've already asked about coverage
• A weekly team call, with call reviews, scripts, and ride-alongs available
• One-on-one mentorship from Ben and Andrea, who run the agency

The honest part

Compensation: paid under an independent contractor (1099) contract. If you want to stay hands-on with tools, this isn't the right fit.
