The Wood Agency Life
Corporate Account Manager — Remote Annuity & IUL Life Insurance Sales, 1099
Role: Life Insurance and Annuity Sales Agent
Dover, DE–based families and military households deserve retirement planning and wealth-building guidance tailored to their needs. The Wood Agency is looking for a Corporate Account Manager to serve that market 100% remotely as a 1099 independent contractor. This is a remote, work-from-home position serving the Dover, DE area — you'll work from wherever you choose while helping families protect their income and build retirement assets with life insurance.
What you'll actually do
- Follow up with people who've already requested information about life insurance, retirement planning, or wealth-building coverage
- Schedule and hold remote discovery calls to understand each client's financial picture before presenting anything
- Walk clients through how annuities and IUL policies function as long-term retirement or wealth-building tools — not just as coverage
- Draw from 43 carrier relationships to find the option that actually fits each client, not just the closest one on the shelf
- Stay with the application through underwriting until the policy is issued — you see the case through, start to finish
Who this is a fit for
- You've spent years in corporate sales or account management and you're good at it — the quota hamster wheel is the part you'd like to leave behind
- You hold a life insurance license, or you're ready to earn one before your first client conversation
- Running your own calendar and pipeline sounds like relief, not a risk
- Your follow-through doesn't depend on someone checking in — that's just how you work
- Retirement and wealth-building conversations interest you more than transactional selling
What we provide
- Access to 43 carriers — so you're always presenting what fits, never just what's available
- Weekly team calls, scripts, and call-review sessions you can tap into as you build your rhythm
- Ride-alongs available so you can hear how established agents actually run IUL and annuity conversations before going solo
- 1:1 mentorship from Ben and Andrea, who've grown The Wood Agency to a 13-agent team licensed across all 50 states
The honest part
This is commission-based, 1099 work — your income comes from policies placed, nothing else. If you've spent a decade in roles where the base salary was the floor you stood on, and you're genuinely not ready to operate without one, that's worth sitting with before you reach out. If you are ready, contact The Wood Agency and let's have a straight conversation about whether the fit is there.
