- Comfortable managing all client conversations by phone and video — no field visits
- Able to learn web-based quoting tools and CRM platforms; training is available
- Disciplined about follow-through without needing daily direction from a manager
- Holds a state life insurance license, or prepared to complete licensing before making sales calls
- Experienced with commission-based, variable-income work
What we provide

- An exclusive lead system is available, giving agents a way to reach people who have already asked about coverage
- Weekly team calls, scripts, call reviews, and ride-alongs available through The Wood Agency
