If you hold a life insurance license and you're tired of one carrier's product shelf limiting what you can offer, this is worth reading. The Stratton Life Group works with independent agents — 100% remote, no office required — who want to run their own book their own way.
What you'll actually do
- Reach out to people who've already asked for coverage information — warm leads, not cold lists
- Hold virtual appointments to learn a client's situation before you show them anything
- Present options across multiple A+-rated carriers and guide the client to what fits
- Shepherd applications through underwriting, staying in the client's corner until a decision lands
- Build your own schedule around the appointments you set — no one assigns your calendar
Who this is a fit for
- Currently licensed agents who feel boxed in by a single carrier's product menu
- Producers ready to go independent and keep their own book without a non-compete hanging over them
- Self-starters who close well and want their output to directly shape their results
- Agents who prefer understanding a client first and pitching second
- People who want real support available — not a manager breathing down their neck
What we provide
- Direct carrier appointments — no intermediary between you and the products
- Warm leads so your conversations start with people who raised their hand
- A 1:1 mentor and weekly team calls available whenever you want another perspective
- Scripts, call reviews, and case design help on your terms — use them as much or as little as you like
- No production quota, no non-compete — through The Stratton Life Group, what you build is yours
The honest part
This is commission-based 1099 work — you're running your own independent business, and there's no salary waiting if a slow month hits. If you need a guaranteed paycheck while you find your footing, this isn't the right time. But if you're already licensed, already comfortable closing, and looking for a place where a real mentor is actually reachable and your production stays in your pocket, reach out to The Stratton Life Group and let's have an honest conversation.
