Apply now

Freeport, IL professionals in healthcare administration, patient services, and community support — this one's worth a look. If you've spent years navigating demanding schedules and high-pressure environments, and you're ready for something that works on your terms, Joe Shipley with Shipley Legacy Group wants to talk. This is a remote, work-from-home position serving the Freeport, IL area — no commute, no office, no relocation required.

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

If you're in the Freeport area and you're ready for a real conversation — not an automated runaround — apply and you'll hear back from a real person. Joe will give you the straight version of what this role involves, what it costs to get started, and whether it's genuinely the right move for where you are right now. Worth 15 minutes?
