Shipley Legacy Group is hiring a remote sales consultant to help individuals and families review life insurance options and apply for coverage. The role suits people who've spent time working high-volume sales — retail, wireless, auto, gym, staffing — and are ready to take that experience somewhere they can work from home and build their own book.
What you'll do
- Reach out to people who've already asked about coverage — your starting point is a warm prospect, not a cold list
- Schedule and hold appointments by phone or video, on a calendar you manage
- Ask the right questions to understand each person's situation before presenting a single option
- Walk through coverage choices in plain terms and complete the application together online
- Follow each case through carrier review and keep the client informed while it's pending
- Log your activity and conversations in the CRM as you go
Qualifications
- Comfortable holding real conversations by phone and video — no scripts required, but you can work one
- Background managing a quota or pipeline in retail, wireless, auto, gym, staffing, or similar consumer-facing sales
- State life insurance license, or the commitment to earn one before writing your first application
- Computer, reliable internet connection, and a phone for client calls
- Self-directed follow-through — you stay on pending work without someone standing over you
What we provide
- Direct carrier appointments available through Shipley Legacy Group, an independent agency six years in business with 17 agents on the team
- A 1:1 mentor, scripts, and call reviews available as you learn the product
- Weekly team call and ongoing training available at your pace
