Remote life insurance sales is what The Wood Agency hires for — people to sell coverage to families who've already requested it. This 100% remote position is open in all 50 states and may suit those with a telecom, cable, or subscription sales background who want to apply what they already know to a different product.
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
