The Wood Agency is recruiting remote sales consultants to sell life insurance from home — a 100% work-from-home role open in all 50 states. The position may suit commission-based sellers who are used to closing deals face-to-face and want to move that work online.
What you'll do
- Call and schedule video or phone appointments with people who've already requested information about life insurance coverage
- Ask the right questions to understand each family's situation before presenting any options
- Walk through coverage choices and complete the application together, using carrier quoting and e-app tools
- Stay with each case after submission — tracking status with the carrier and keeping the client informed through to policy issue
- Log calls, appointments, and notes in the CRM as you go
- Keep current on carrier guidelines, product details, and compliance standards through ongoing training — not a one-time onboarding
Qualifications
- Legally authorized to work in the United States
- A state life insurance license, or a clear plan to obtain one before making sales calls
- Comfortable running consultations by phone or video — no in-person visits
- Reliable computer, phone, and internet connection
- Able to manage your own schedule and follow up consistently without close supervision
- At ease with web-based tools — quoting platforms, e-apps, and a CRM
What we provide
- Access to an exclusive lead system — agents have the option to work with people who've already expressed interest in coverage
- Onboarding structured to move quickly: the goal is to have new agents licensed, contracted, and making calls within the first month
- Weekly team calls, ride-alongs, and 1:1 mentorship available through The Wood Agency
- Access to 43 carriers, so you're matching clients to suitable coverage — not fitting them into a single product
