Job description

Inside sales teaches you to work a pipeline. This 100% remote, 1099 independent-contractor life insurance sales role puts that skill behind a product with real stakes for families who already asked for information.

What you'll actually do

• Schedule and hold back-to-back appointments by phone and video
• Open with discovery, then present options across multiple carriers
• Complete the application on the call, then carry the case to policy issue
• Log every conversation and next step in the CRM as it happens
• Keep clients informed while the carrier reviews the application
• Stay sharp on product details and state insurance rules

Who this is a fit for

• Inside sales, account management, or business development experience
• Comfortable working a pipeline and following up without a manager prompting you
• Able to explain a product someone has never bought before
• A state life insurance license, or a plan to sit the exam before your first sale
• Equipped for fully remote work: computer, phone, and reliable internet
• At least 18 and legally authorized to work in the United States

What we provide

• Contracts with 43 carriers, so you can compare options for each family
• Exclusive lead systems that put you in front of people who've already asked about coverage
• Weekly team calls, call reviews, scripts, and ride-alongs available to agents
• Mentorship straight from Ben and Andrea, the people who run the agency

The honest part

Compensation: paid under an independent contractor (1099) contract. If you work best with a manager setting your targets each week, this isn't the right fit.
