Monticello, KY — if you're out on the lake, sitting in the stands at a Wayne County game, or just done with the grind of a job that's eating you alive, this one's worth reading. 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. This is a remote, work-from-home position serving the Monticello, KY area — no commute, no local office, no need 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

In Wayne County, good-paying work that lets you stay close to home — and close to the lake — isn't easy to find. This is a real opportunity to build something from your kitchen table, on your schedule, serving families who think a lot like yours. No automated runaround. If you apply, you'll hear from a real person. 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?
