• Open with discovery, then present options across multiple carriers
• Complete the application on the call, then carry the case to policy issue

Who this is a fit for

• 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

• Weekly team calls, call reviews, scripts, and ride-alongs available to agents
• Mentorship straight from Ben and Andrea, the people who run the agency
