Start my application

Serving Herndon, VA's thriving professional community — including the region's strong South Asian and Latino networks who understand the value of mortgage protection — The Wood Agency is hiring commission-based life insurance salespeople. This is a 100% remote, work-from-home position. You already know how to earn without a base. You follow up without annoying people, and you can close without pressure. This role is for salespeople from any background ready to build client relationships on their own terms.

What you'll actually do

  • Contact homeowners who've recently taken out a mortgage and have expressed interest in coverage options
  • Schedule and hold protection conversations by phone or video
  • Understand each client's situation and explain mortgage protection options clearly
  • Help clients complete applications and stay with them through underwriting
  • Manage your own pipeline and follow-up — no one will do this for you
  • Join weekly team calls to sharpen your process alongside a small, active team

Who this is a fit for

  • Salespeople from any industry already comfortable working entirely on commission
  • People who know how to listen first and recommend second
  • Organized self-starters who manage their schedule without needing check-ins
  • Willing to get a life insurance license before your first sale, or already licensed
  • People who want a long-term client relationship, not a one-and-done transaction
  • Someone who can work without being micromanaged and still hits their own standard

What we provide

  • Scripts, call reviews, ride-alongs, and weekly team calls at The Wood Agency
  • 1:1 mentorship — you work directly with Ben and Andrea, not through a management layer
  • 43 carriers across all 50 states so you're never limited to one product line

The honest part

This is 100% commission-based 1099 contractor work — no base, no salary. If you're already used to earning that way and want to understand how the life side works, The Wood Agency is worth a real conversation. If you need guaranteed income, be honest with yourself about that before you apply.
