Job description

Built for people who already run a good phone conversation. This 100% remote, 1099 independent-contractor life insurance sales role connects you with families who requested coverage information, from first call to completed application.

What you'll actually do

• Make first contact with people who asked about coverage and schedule a longer conversation
• Open with questions instead of a pitch, so the family does most of the talking
• Present options by phone or video and complete the application in the same appointment
• Keep several open cases moving without losing track of any of them
• Log every call and follow-up task in the CRM as it happens
• Use team call reviews to sharpen your approach over time

Who this is a fit for

• Experience selling by phone, in inside sales, telesales, or a call center
• Comfortable with long conversations about serious topics, not quick transactions
• Consistent follow-up without anyone prompting you
• A state life insurance license, or a plan to get licensed before your first sale
• At ease with web-based quoting tools and a CRM
• 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
• A weekly team call, with call reviews, scripts, and ride-alongs available
• Exclusive lead systems that put you in front of people who've already asked about coverage
• Direct mentorship from Ben and Andrea, who run the agency

The honest part

Compensation: paid under an independent contractor (1099) contract. If you'd rather close fast and move on, this isn't the right fit, because cases here stay open through underwriting.
