Remote Sales Agent — Retail and Restaurant Managers Welcome

The Wood Agency is hiring life insurance sales agents in the Lombard, IL area. This is a 100% remote, work-from-home position where you'll help families evaluate coverage and apply for policies independently — ideal for retail and restaurant managers ready to transition to commission-based sales work.

What you'll do

• Reach out to people who've already asked about life insurance to schedule a remote coverage review
• Open each appointment by learning about a client's situation before presenting any options
• Walk clients through policy choices that fit their needs and complete the application together
• Follow each pending case through the carrier's review process and keep the client informed along the way
• Log contacts, notes, and follow-ups in a web-based CRM throughout your day
• Stay current on products and carrier guidelines through ongoing training available to agents

Qualifications

• Legally authorized to work in the United States
• A state life insurance license is required before making sales calls; if you don't yet hold one, the team can explain what the process looks like in your state
• Comfortable running full client conversations by phone or video — all client work is remote
• Able to manage your own schedule: setting appointments, following up, and tracking your pipeline without daily direction
• Used to holding yourself and others accountable to results, even without someone watching
• A computer, reliable internet connection, and a phone

What we provide

• The Wood Agency holds contracts with 43 carriers across all 50 states, so you can present options from multiple companies rather than a single product
• Access to exclusive lead systems — lead costs vary; ask the team for specifics during your conversation
• Weekly team call, scripts, and call reviews available to agents
• 1:1 mentorship and ride-alongs available as you get started

Compensation

This is a 1099 independent contractor role with The Wood Agency. Compensation is commission-based. No salary or hourly pay is provided. Earnings depend on individual production. If that structure suits how you want to work, we'd like to hear from you.
