Reid Agency

Life Insurance Agent — Former Construction & Trades Professionals (Remote, 1099)

Suffolk, VA Full-time Posted Jul 28, 2026
Start my application

Suffolk, VA's logistics, operations, and management professionals know the value of efficiency, accountability, and results. You show up, figure it out, and get the job done — and if you're ready to build something for yourself instead of someone else, this is for you. This is a remote, work-from-home position serving the Suffolk, VA area and beyond, and it rewards the exact work ethic you've already built. James came to The Reid Agency from construction and became the top agent on the team within one year — he's now working toward launching his own agency.

What you'll actually do

  • Talk with families about life insurance and financial protection by phone and video
  • Present options from 50 carriers — term, whole life, final expense, and more
  • Book and run your own appointments from anywhere in the country
  • Complete your licensing in the first two weeks — we walk you through every step
  • Learn the business through mentorship, ride-alongs, and live call reviews
  • Build a client base and book of business that belongs to you

Who this is a fit for

  • Trades workers, contractors, or construction professionals ready for a real change
  • People used to showing up, grinding, and solving problems without being told how
  • Those who want to work with people and actually help them, not just move product
  • Self-starters done trading hours for someone else's profit
  • Unlicensed candidates willing to commit to the process starting in Week 1
  • Anyone with drive, discipline, and a vision bigger than where they are right now

What we provide

  • Scripts, call reviews, and a dedicated 1:1 mentor from your first week
  • Ride-alongs so you see how real appointments run before you go solo
  • Weekly team calls with 40 agents across all 50 states — a real community
  • Structured first month: licensing, training, shadowing, then live appointments
  • 50 carriers so you serve each family honestly, not push a single product
  • The Reid Agency's family culture — support, encouragement, and genuine celebration

The honest part

This is commission-only, 1099 independent contractor work — no base pay, no guaranteed hours, no W-2. It's not for everyone, and we mean that honestly. But if you've got the grit and a fire that won't quit, reach out and let's talk about what building something real looks like.
