Former First Responders & Law Enforcement — Remote Whole Life Sales, 1099

Danbury, CT commuter families know the value of independence and real work — and so do former first responders. The Wood Agency is hiring remote whole life insurance sales professionals who've served in law enforcement, corrections, or firefighting. This is a 100% remote, work-from-home position serving the Danbury, CT area. You'll earn on commission as a 1099 contractor, building your own client base and your own schedule.

What you'll actually do

• Contact prospective clients who've requested information about life insurance coverage
• Schedule and hold coverage conversations by phone or video
• Listen to each client's situation before explaining any whole life options
• Help clients complete applications and follow them through underwriting
• Stay with clients through the full relationship — including benefit claims
• Attend weekly team calls and participate in call reviews to sharpen your approach

Who this is a fit for

• Former law enforcement, corrections officers, firefighters, or public-service professionals
• People who thrived in structure but now want to own their schedule and build something independently
• Disciplined and self-directed — you don't need to be managed, but you actually show up
• Comfortable earning on commission and building a client base over time
• Willing to obtain a state life insurance license before your first sale
• Someone who wants to consult clients honestly, not pressure them

What we provide

• Weekly team calls, scripts, call reviews, and ride-alongs
• 1:1 mentorship from Ben and Andrea at The Wood Agency — 13 agents, 43 carriers, licensed in all 50 states
• A clear month-one plan: licensed by end of week 2, making sales calls by end of month one

The honest part

This is 100% commission-only 1099 work. No salary, no guaranteed pay for showing up. If your situation requires predictable income right now, that's a fair reason to pass. If you want to understand what this role actually looks like day to day, reach out to The Wood Agency directly.
