The Lyons Agency
The 9-to-5 Isn't Building Your Future. This Might. — Remote Life Insurance Agent (1099)
Westfield, MA is home to skilled, independent-minded professionals — from military families near Overfield ARB to trades and retail workers looking for a path forward that doesn't fit the traditional 9-to-5 mold. The Lyons Agency was built by people who got tired of trading time for a capped paycheck, and we're looking for someone in your area ready to do the same. This is a 100% remote, work-from-home position serving Westfield and beyond — no commute, no branch office, no in-person requirement. If you're financially curious, client-focused, and ready to build something on your own terms, this commission-based 1099 role might be the career change worth making.
What you'll actually do
- Contact prospective clients to schedule coverage and strategy conversations
- Learn each client's financial picture and walk them through available options — whole life, IBC concepts, annuities, and general life coverage
- Help clients understand how policies like Indexed Universal Life or debt-free strategies work in plain language
- Complete and submit applications, then support clients through underwriting
- Build your book of business across all 50 states using carrier contracts you hold in your own name
- Tap into weekly team calls, 1:1 mentor time, and case design help as you grow your practice
Who this is a fit for
- Career-changers from corporate, finance, banking, or office environments who are wired to learn
- People who get energized explaining financial concepts to others
- Self-starters who take initiative and ask for help in equal measure
- Current or prospective life insurance licensees willing to put in structured effort from week one
- Anyone who wants freedom over their schedule without trading away mentorship and support
What we provide
- Direct carrier appointments across 50 carriers — you hold your own contracts
- 1:1 mentor availability and access to weekly team calls and agent community at The Lyons Agency
- Scripts, call reviews, CRM access, and case design help available as you build
- A reduced-cost lead program designed to be accessible for agents who are starting out
- No production quota — this is a career you build at your pace, with real support available
The honest part
This is 100% commission, 1099 independent-contractor work — no salary, no guaranteed pay, not a corporate job. It is not a fit if you need the comfort of a set paycheck or aren't ready to grow. If you're ready to do the work, The Lyons Agency has 15 agents, four years in, and leaders who genuinely want to see you win — apply and let's find out if this is your next chapter.
