Some people are built to follow a playbook. You're built to write one. This role is for the rare person who doesn't just want to build a career — they want to build a team, a culture, and a legacy.

What You'll Actually Do

Sell life insurance products across multiple lines — final expense, mortgage protection, term, and more — while simultaneously building and mentoring your own team of agents
Recruit, onboard, and develop agents who are looking for the same freedom you found
Lead from the front — your team will grow as you grow, and your example will be the standard
Operate 100% remotely — your office is wherever you do your best work

Who This Is a Fit For

A natural leader who has been stuck in organizations where their ability to lead was limited by someone else's comfort level
Someone who has a heart for people and understands that real leadership means pulling others up, not just climbing yourself
You may be licensed already, or you may be ready to take the steps to get there — what matters most is your drive and your vision
You lead with integrity, take ownership of outcomes, and don't make excuses

What We Provide

A proven system for building and growing your own remote agency
Mentorship from leaders who have already built what you're trying to build — and who are still in the trenches with you
100% remote infrastructure — recruit, train, and lead your team from anywhere in the U.S.
A faith-first culture that believes business built on service and integrity is business that lasts

This is commission-only 1099 independent contractor work — for you and for the agents you bring on. The freedom here is real, and so is the responsibility. If you've been waiting for permission to lead the way you know you can, stop waiting. Apply today and let's talk about building something worth building.

All compensation comes from your own insurance sales to clients — never from recruiting.

About The Lyons Agency

The Lyons Agency was opened after it was realized that we were at the mercy of a 9-5 with restricted income and strict time. With no room for growth (personal and professional), we had to make a change. We wanted more time with our kids and each other. We wanted freedom to take a vacation without looking at our bank and asking permission. But most importantly, we wanted to lay our head down at night without being exhausted and having very little or nothing to show for it. We exist to help others not only secure their futures and legecies with life insurance. But, we also are here to help agents secure their futures and become the best version of themselves. Your dreams are big, so grow yourself as well.
