Final Expense Agent — Trade Your Time Clock for a Laptop (1099)
Brookings, SD has always been a place where hard work and higher thinking go hand in hand — and if you're part of that workforce, whether you've come up through agriculture, manufacturing, or the university community, and you're ready to put your work ethic toward something that runs on your schedule, this is worth a read. Joe Shipley here with Shipley Legacy Group. This is a remote, work-from-home position serving the Brookings, SD area — no commute, no local office to report to, no requirement to relocate.
Straight talk: This is final expense life insurance sales. It's 100% remote — you work from home, over the phone and video, helping families set up affordable coverage so a funeral doesn't become a financial gut-punch for the people they leave behind. It's commission-based 1099 work. That means it's real work, and what you put in is what you get out.
Who this is a fit for
- People coming from hands-on, hard-work jobs who aren't afraid of effort
- Folks who are done trading their body for a paycheck and want to use their head and their heart instead
- Anyone who's good talking to regular, working-class families — because that's exactly who we serve
- New to insurance? Fine. We'll help you get licensed and trained. Already licensed? Even better.
What I'll actually walk you through
- What the first 90 days honestly look like
- How commissions work — no smoke, no mirrors
- What it costs to get started (licensing, tools)
- The training and mentorship you'll get from people who've done it
Brookings professionals know how to grind — and this role rewards exactly that. No automated runaround. If you apply, you'll hear from a real person who understands what it means to build something from the ground up. I'll give you the straight version — what it pays, what it costs, and whether this is even the right move for you. Worth 15 minutes?
