The Butler Agency
Life Insurance Sales Agent — Career Changers from Corporate | Remote / 1099
Hiring across 6 markets in 6 states
Birmingham, AL · Decorah, IA · Fountain Inn, SC · Olathe, KS · Peabody, MA · Pewaukee, WI
This role is remote — the markets are where we are actively recruiting.
If you've spent years in a corporate role where your schedule and autonomy were someone else's decision — and you're ready to change that — The Butler Agency is a 100% remote, commission-based 1099 life insurance sales opportunity worth a serious look.
What you'll actually do
- Contact prospective clients who have requested information about life insurance coverage
- Schedule and hold phone or video conversations to understand each client's needs
- Explain policy options honestly and help clients identify coverage that fits their situation
- Guide clients through the application process and follow each case through underwriting
- Manage your own pipeline on your own schedule using a CRM provided at no cost
- Participate in weekly team calls, call reviews, and 1:1 mentoring sessions
Who this is a fit for
- Career changers from corporate sales, banking, retail management, or customer-facing roles
- People ready to own their schedule in a stable industry — like Chris, who spent 15 years in mortgage with his income dictated by interest rates, got licensed in a few weeks, and now makes his own schedule in a recession-proof field
- Those who hold a state life insurance license or are committed to getting licensed before selling
- Honest communicators who follow through and take the long view on client relationships
- People who want a real coaching culture without the corporate ladder attached
What we provide
- A dedicated 1:1 mentor and ride-alongs through The Butler Agency — real support from real people
- Warm leads provided so your first conversations aren't cold calls into the void
- CRM access, scripts, and call reviews to develop your skills from the first week
- Weekly team calls to keep you connected across a fully remote operation
The honest part
This is 100% commission-based, 1099 independent-contractor work — there is no salary, no benefits package, and no guaranteed pay. If your current season requires stable guaranteed income, this is not the right move right now. If you're ready to build something on your own terms, The Butler Agency is a straight-talking place to start.
