Remote life insurance sales work is what The Wood Agency is hiring for — people who connect with families that have already asked about coverage, walk through their options, and complete applications together. This 100% remote role may suit people with a background in advertising, media, or other commission-based sales.
What you'll do
- Reach out by phone or video to people who've already submitted a request for life insurance information
- Ask about each family's situation and goals before presenting any coverage options
- Walk through plans from The Wood Agency's 43-carrier network and complete the application with the client in real time
- Log conversations and next steps in the CRM as they happen
- Track each pending case through the carrier review process and keep clients informed along the way
- Stay current on products, carrier guidelines, and state insurance compliance — not just at the start, but throughout
Qualifications
- Legally authorized to work in the United States
- Holds a state life insurance license, or prepared to get one before beginning any sales activity
- Phone and video calls are the primary way this work gets done; comfort with both is necessary
- Able to work through web-based quoting platforms, e-applications, and a CRM without close guidance
- Follows up consistently — clients waiting on a pending application expect to hear from you
- Can explain a policy clearly in plain language, without jargon
- Manages their own schedule and stays productive without external structure
What we provide
- Access to an exclusive lead system; lead acquisition costs are the agent's own responsibility
- Weekly team calls, call reviews, and ride-alongs available through The Wood Agency
- 1:1 mentorship with Ben and Andrea, who built and still work in this agency
- Carrier contracts spanning 43 represented carriers across all 50 states
- A first-month plan that targets licensing by week two, contracting by week three, and first sales calls before the month is out
