The Wood Agency Life
Already Selling on Commission? Remote Mortgage Protection Sales, 1099
Scranton, PA is home to a strong professional services and insurance sector — and The Wood Agency is hiring commission-based mortgage protection life insurance salespeople to serve homeowners across the region. 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. If you're from any background and ready to work entirely on commission, keep reading.
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
