Shipley Legacy Group

Remote Whole Life Insurance Agent — Career Changers From Healthcare & Skilled Trades (1099)

Olathe, KS Full-time Posted Aug 12, 2026
Start my application

Shipley Legacy Group is hiring a Remote Whole Life Insurance Agent to serve the Olathe, KS area — and this is a 100% remote, work-from-home position. You've worked beside people when life goes sideways — on a floor, in the field, or on a job site. Anissa and Joe Shipley started this agency after both lost close family members, and it exists because of that mission. If you're a healthcare worker or tradesperson ready to redirect that experience into commission-based 1099 life insurance sales, this career change might be the one that lets your work mean something.

What you'll actually do

  • Contact prospective clients and schedule coverage conversations from home, on your schedule
  • Listen to what a family needs and explain whole life insurance options in plain terms
  • Help clients complete applications and follow each case through underwriting
  • Use available scripts and call reviews to sharpen how you talk about coverage
  • Tap into a 1:1 mentor available through Shipley Legacy Group as you find your footing
  • Manage your own pipeline and follow up consistently — no one does that part for you

Who this is a fit for

  • Healthcare workers or tradespeople ready to stop letting the shift schedule run their lives
  • People who've watched a family scramble after a loss and want to help others avoid that
  • Career changers willing to obtain a state life insurance license before selling
  • Self-directed adults who can work without supervision or a time clock
  • Anyone already comfortable talking to people about serious, real-life topics
  • Those who understand flexibility and commission-only pay go hand in hand

What we provide

  • Direct carrier appointments available upon joining the team
  • 1:1 mentorship and access to weekly team calls available through Shipley Legacy Group
  • Scripts, call reviews, and ongoing training available as you build your practice
  • Underwriting advocacy to help your clients' cases move forward

The honest part

This is commission-only 1099 work — no salary, no guaranteed income. Shipley Legacy Group has 17 agents and six years in business, but this role isn't for everyone: if you need a steady paycheck while you get started, that's worth knowing now. If the work sounds right, apply below and let's talk.
