Are you a licensed life insurance agent in the Mount Prospect, IL area looking to scale beyond solo sales? MW Agency is seeking experienced team leads ready to build and mentor their own agents while growing a sustainable client base. This is a 100% remote, work-from-home position serving Mount Prospect, IL and surrounding markets. You'll work on commission as a 1099 independent contractor — no base pay — and your income comes directly from the life insurance policies you place with your own clients.

What you'll actually do

  • Work your own client base across term, whole life, and final expense products
  • Recruit and onboard new agents joining your team
  • Conduct ride-alongs and call reviews to develop the agents you mentor
  • Hold coverage conversations, help complete applications, and follow cases through underwriting
  • Use the provided CRM to manage both your pipeline and your team's activity
  • Draw on multiple carrier relationships to find the right fit for every client

Who this is a fit for

  • Licensed life insurance agents who want to lead, not just sell
  • People who are motivated and driven to grow and help others exceed
  • Agents who thrive without a manager over their shoulder
  • Those with existing experience in life insurance, final expense, or mortgage protection
  • Natural coaches who follow up consistently and take ownership seriously

What we provide

  • 1:1 mentor support from MW Agency's existing leadership
  • Weekly team calls with the agency team to share strategy and solve problems
  • Scripts, call reviews, and ride-along tools to develop your agents
  • CRM provided for you and the agents you mentor

The honest part

This is 100% commission-based 1099 work — no base pay. Building a team takes time and consistent effort. If you want a predictable schedule and a boss above you, this isn't the role. Ready to lead? Apply directly with MW Agency today.
