Final Expense Agent — Trade Your Time Clock for a Laptop (1099)
Flatwoods, WV — if you're working the hospitality corridor along I-79, pulling shifts at the Sutton area restaurants, or clocking hours in retail just hoping something better comes along, this is worth 60 seconds of your time. This is a remote, work-from-home position serving the Flatwoods, WV area — no commute, no local office, no relocation required. Joe Shipley here with Shipley Legacy Group. I built this agency after 10-hour shifts at a plant, so I'm not going to feed you a fairy tale. If you're wondering whether there's a way out that doesn't require starting completely over, read on.
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
