Career Pivot After a Health Change — Remote Final Expense Sales, 1099

Wheaton, IL is a community of faith, education, and strong networks — and if you're rebuilding your career after a health change or life shift, you're not alone here. The Wood Agency is 100% remote final expense life insurance sales, 1099 commission-based, built to work around your actual life. This is a remote, work-from-home position serving the Wheaton, IL area.

What you'll actually do

• Reach out to clients who've inquired about final expense coverage
• Hold coverage conversations by phone or video on a schedule your life can work around
• Learn each client's needs before presenting any product options
• Explain final expense options clearly and help clients complete applications
• Follow applications through underwriting and stay available through the claims process
• Attend weekly team calls and work through scripts and call reviews

Who this is a fit for

• Anyone whose previous career — physical, medical, or otherwise — is no longer workable
• Career changers who need genuine schedule flexibility, not just a different commute
• Self-motivated and resilient — you push through slow weeks without someone managing your energy
• Willing to get a life insurance license before selling (we'll walk you through the steps)
• Comfortable with commission-based income and building a client book over time
• People who want to serve clients through the full relationship, not just make a sale

What we provide

• 1:1 mentorship with Ben and Andrea at The Wood Agency directly — not a downline, not a management chain
• Weekly team calls, scripts, ride-alongs, and call reviews
• Access to 43 carriers across all 50 states
• Month-one milestones: licensed by week 2, contracted by week 3, making calls by end of month one

The honest part

This is 100% commission-only 1099 independent contractor work. If you need a guaranteed paycheck from day one, this isn't the right fit right now — and that's honest, not a failure. If the flexibility and the structure here match your situation, reach out to The Wood Agency directly. Wheaton families and those returning to work in this community are exactly who we want to hear from.
