Whole Life Insurance Sales Agent — Career Changers Welcome | Remote / 1099

Serving the Brookings, SD area? This is a 100% remote, work-from-home, commission-based 1099 role at The Butler Agency — built for people making a real career change into life insurance who are ready to get licensed, learn the work, and build something that belongs to them.

What you'll actually do

• Reach out to prospective clients who have expressed interest in whole life coverage
• Schedule and hold conversations to understand each family's protection needs
• Explain whole life policy options honestly and in language people actually understand
• Help clients complete an application and walk them through the underwriting process
• Manage your pipeline in a provided CRM with consistent, organized follow-up
• Attend weekly team calls and call reviews to keep building real skill

Who this is a fit for

• Career changers who are coachable, motivated, and ready to learn something new from the ground up
• People willing to obtain a state life insurance license before they begin selling
• Those coming from industries where results felt tied to forces outside their control — like Chris, a 15-year mortgage industry veteran who got licensed in a few weeks and now runs his own schedule in a field that doesn't rise and fall with interest rates
• Self-starters who can follow through consistently without constant hand-holding
• People who want to serve families and build a book of business they actually own

What we provide

• A 1:1 mentor and ride-alongs so you are not starting from scratch on your own
• Scripts and call reviews from day one to build real confidence in every conversation
• CRM provided — organized and ready to go when you are
• Warm leads provided and support developing self-generated leads as you grow
• Weekly team calls that connect you to people doing this work right alongside you

The honest part

This is 100% commission-based 1099 independent-contractor work — no salary, no guaranteed pay. It is not for everyone, and The Butler Agency will tell you that plainly. But if you are serious about a career change and want a team that will genuinely show up for you while you build, apply today and let's talk.
