Shipley Legacy Group is hiring a remote sales consultant to help individuals and families evaluate life insurance options and apply for coverage. This is a 100% remote, commission-based 1099 role suited to people who already sell for a living — door-to-door, home services, solar, wireless, or any field where you've built your own pipeline and lived on variable pay.
What you'll do
- Reach out to people who have already raised their hand asking about life insurance coverage
- Schedule and hold protection review conversations by phone or video — no windshields, no driveways
- Ask the right questions to understand a household's situation before presenting anything
- Walk clients through coverage options in plain terms and complete the application together
- Work inside carrier quoting and e-application platforms to submit each case accurately
- Track every conversation and follow-up in the CRM as the work happens
- Stay with a pending case through the carrier's review process and keep the client informed
- Keep current on products, carrier guidelines, and compliance requirements — training is ongoing, not a one-time event
Qualifications
- A state life insurance license — or the concrete intent to obtain one before selling
- Comfortable running full sales conversations by phone and video without in-person support
- Able to navigate web-based carrier systems and a CRM without needing hand-holding
- Disciplined follow-through: you work a pipeline, you don't wait for it to move itself
- Reliable computer, phone, and internet connection
- Background in any commission-driven, client-facing role is useful; insurance experience is not required
What we provide
- Direct carrier appointments available to agents joining Shipley Legacy Group
- 1-on-1 mentor access, scripts, and call reviews — available as you build your practice
- Weekly team call and ongoing product training available to all 17 agents on the team
- Underwriting advocacy support when a case needs it
- Flexible scheduling — you set your own calendar around the work that needs to get done
