Entry-Level Life Insurance Agent

Job Description

Job Description

Wood Agency Life is hiring entry-level agents to serve the Buckhannon, West Virginia area and help families review life insurance coverage options. This is a remote, work-from-home position. If you're switching careers and want structured licensing support and real training—not just a sales script—this role suits you.

• Reach out to prospective families who've shown interest in coverage, by phone and video, to set up a time to talk.
• Ask about the family's finances, health history and goals before suggesting any policy.
• Walk clients through term, whole life, mortgage protection, final expense, IUL or annuity options depending on their needs.
• Complete the carrier's e-application together with the client once they choose a policy.
• Track every call, appointment and follow-up in the agency's CRM.
• Stay in touch with clients while their case moves through underwriting and let them know once a decision is made.

• Comfortable with phone and video calls daily; this is not an in-person job.
• No insurance license required to apply — the agency walks you through roughly two weeks of coursework before you start selling.
• Reliable computer, phone and internet connection.
• Organized follow-up habits; able to track multiple client conversations at once.
• Willing to learn carrier systems and keep detailed CRM notes.

• Guidance through licensing coursework, typically about two weeks, before you start selling.
• Access to multiple carriers through an independent agency, not a single captive line.
• Direct mentorship from Ben and Andrea Wood, the agency's founders.
• CRM and carrier platform access for managing your pipeline.

This is a 1099 independent contractor opportunity. Compensation is commission-based. No salary or hourly pay is provided. Earnings depend on individual production. If this sounds like work you want to learn, apply through this listing. Questions: View phone number on ziprecruiter.com.
