Job description

Teachers and school staff are good at explaining hard things clearly. This 100% remote, 1099 independent-contractor life insurance sales role applies that skill to families who requested coverage information, on a schedule you manage.

What you'll actually do

• Meet by phone or video with people who've already asked about life insurance
• Start by listening to the family's situation, goals, and worries
• Break coverage options into plain language, then complete the application together
• Follow each application through underwriting and keep families informed
• Record notes and next steps in the CRM
• Keep learning, because products and rules change and training continues

Who this is a fit for

• Experience teaching, coaching, or working in a school setting
• A gift for explaining complicated ideas without talking down to anyone
• Comfortable planning your own schedule instead of following a bell
• A state life insurance license, or a plan to get licensed before your first sale
• Willing to learn a new regulated field from the ground up
• At least 18 and legally authorized to work in the United States

What we provide

• We walk new agents through the licensing process, even with no insurance background
• Contracts with 43 carriers, so you can match each family to coverage that fits
• Access to exclusive lead systems, so your conversations start with people who asked first
• Mentorship straight from Ben and Andrea, the people who run the agency
• Weekly team calls, call reviews, and scripts available to agents

The honest part

Compensation: paid under an independent contractor (1099) contract. If you want the built-in structure of a school calendar, this isn't the right fit.
