Gettysburg, SD Contract (1099) Posted Sep 28, 2026
Start my application The Wood Agency is hiring remote life insurance sales agents in Gettysburg, SD to work with clients on coverage decisions and applications. This is a 100% remote, work-from-home position. You can start part-time and scale at your own pace.
What you'll do
- Call people who've already asked about life insurance and set up coverage conversations

- Walk through coverage options by phone or video and complete the application side by side
- Submit and track applications through carrier quoting tools and e-app systems
- Follow pending cases to policy issue, keeping clients informed along the way

- Able to track your own follow-ups and manage a case pipeline without daily prompts
- A computer, a phone, and reliable internet
- Comfortable with variable, commission-based income — this is not a salaried position
What we provide
- Access to The Wood Agency's exclusive lead system — available to contracted agents
- One-on-one mentorship with Ben and Andrea — agents here work with them directly, not through a management chain
- Weekly team call, scripts, call reviews, and ride-alongs available as your schedule allows
- Contracts with 43 carriers — The Wood Agency is an independent agency licensed in all 50 states
Compensation
