Role: Sales Representative

Wessington Springs, SD Contract (1099) Posted Sep 28, 2026
Start my application

The Wood Agency is hiring remote life insurance sales agents in Wessington Springs, SD to sell final expense coverage to families protecting what matters most. This is a 100% remote, work-from-home position open to career changers across all 50 states who can have honest conversations, follow through, and work independently.

What you'll do

  • Call or message people who have already asked about final expense coverage and set up a time to talk
  • Ask the right questions first — health situation, budget, what they're trying to protect — before you ever mention a plan
  • Walk through coverage options and complete the application together by phone or video
  • Log every conversation and next step in the CRM while the case is still fresh
  • Keep clients informed as their application moves through the carrier's review process, all the way to a decision
  • Stay current on product and carrier training — this continues well past your first month

Qualifications

  • Legally authorized to work in the United States
  • A state life insurance license — or the ability to get one before you begin selling
  • Comfort carrying detailed conversations over the phone or on video, with people you've never met
  • Able to navigate web-based tools: e-applications, quoting systems, a CRM
  • You manage your own schedule and keep your own pipeline moving without reminders
  • Resilient when a case doesn't close — and willing to follow up anyway

What we provide

  • Access to 43 carriers, so you can match clients to coverage that actually fits rather than pushing one product
  • An exclusive lead system is available to agents — ask about it during your conversation
  • Weekly team call, scripts, call reviews, and ride-alongs available as you get started
  • 1:1 mentorship available through The Wood Agency's founders, who work directly with agents on the team

Compensation

This is a 1099 independent contractor role. Compensation is commission-based. No salary or hourly pay is provided. Earnings depend on individual production. If that structure fits where you are right now, The Wood Agency welcomes your application.
