  • Initiate contact with prospective clients and arrange phone or video conversations.
  • Listen to each household before discussing coverage, costs, and policy limitations.
  • Manage a pipeline of conversations, appointments, and applications without pressuring clients.

Compensation

This is 1099 independent contractor work with commission-based pay. No salary or hourly pay is provided. Earnings depend on individual production. Compensation comes from your own insurance sales to clients, never from recruiting. Ask The Wood Agency about the commission schedule, chargebacks, expenses, and contracting terms before deciding. If this structure fits your plans, apply to discuss the role.
