• 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
