Start my application

The Wood Agency in Ottumwa, IA hires remote life insurance sales consultants — people to sell coverage to families who've already requested it. This is a remote, work-from-home position open to candidates in Ottumwa, IA. Telecom, cable, and subscription sales backgrounds translate well here.

What you'll do

  • Connect with people who've already asked about life insurance — your first call is a scheduled appointment, not a cold pitch
  • Ask about their household and situation before presenting anything
  • Walk through options from a 43-carrier network and help them choose what fits their circumstances
  • Complete the application together using the carrier's quoting and e-app platform during the appointment
  • Track each case through underwriting and keep the client informed until the policy is issued
  • Stay current on product, carrier, and compliance training — it continues throughout your time here, not just in week one

Qualifications

  • Legally authorized to work in the United States
  • Comfortable running every appointment by phone and video
  • Experienced explaining plan options, pricing tiers, or contract terms in plain language — that skill carries directly here
  • Able to use web-based quoting tools and a CRM as a normal part of the workday
  • Must hold a state life insurance license or complete the licensing process before writing business
  • Reliable computer, phone, and internet connection for fully remote work

What we provide

  • The Wood Agency is an independent agency contracted with 43 carriers — you recommend what fits the client, not just what one company offers
  • An exclusive lead system is available to agents (costs and structure are agent-determined)
  • Weekly team call, call reviews, and 1:1 mentorship are available through the agency
  • Scripts and ride-along support are available for agents who want structured coaching early on

Compensation

This is a 1099 independent contractor position with The Wood Agency. Compensation is commission-based; no salary or hourly pay is provided. Earnings depend on individual production. If that structure fits your situation, apply below.
