Life Insurance Agent
Life Insurance Sales Agent – Hybrid/Remote/In-Person | Raleigh/Triangle Area Commission-Based | Flexible Schedule | Real Earning Potential
What This Job Actually Is
You'll sell life insurance to families over the phone and Zoom. You'll work a mix of inbound leads (people who requested information) and outbound follow-up. You set your own schedule, work from home, and get paid based on what you close.
This is a 1099 commission role — no base salary. If you're self-motivated and consistent, the earning potential is real. If you need a guaranteed paycheck while you ramp up, this likely isn't the right fit.
Realistic Earnings
- Per sale: $800–$1,200 commission
- Part-time (20 hrs/week): $30K–$60K in year one for agents who hit consistent activity
- Full-time: $60K–$120K once you've built momentum; higher for top performers
- Weekly pay
These are realistic ranges, not highlight reels.
What We Provide
- Inbound and outbound lead options (lead costs and structure discussed in interview)
- Licensing support if you don't have your Life & Health license yet
- Step-by-step onboarding and ongoing mentorship
- Access to 60+ insurance carriers so you can find the right fit for clients
- Clear path to building and leading your own team
What the Day-to-Day Looks Like
- Call and Zoom with 8–15 prospects daily
- Walk families through coverage options and help them choose
- Track your activity and pipeline
- Attend weekly training (remote)
- Follow up consistently — this job rewards discipline more than talent
You're Probably a Fit If
- You've done phone sales, retail, real estate, or any performance-based role
- You're comfortable hearing no and moving on quickly
- You want to control your income and schedule
- You're willing to get licensed if you aren't already (we'll show you how)
You're Probably Not a Fit If
- You need a base salary or steady hourly pay right now
- You prefer in-person work
- You're not comfortable with daily outbound calling
Requirements
- U.S. citizen or legal resident living in the U.S.
- Triangle area preferred, but fully remote
- Background check required
- Life & Health License (or willingness to obtain before starting)
How to Apply
No cover letter needed. Send a brief note introducing yourself and telling us about any sales or people-facing experience you have. We'll schedule a 20-minute call to walk through the role honestly and answer your questions.
We'd rather hire five great fits than fifty people who churn out in 90 days.
