Start my application

Salida, CO professional households deserve whole life insurance built on trust — and you deserve a career that honors your first-responder discipline without the constraints of a uniform. The Wood Agency is 100% remote, commission-based 1099 whole life insurance sales, serving Salida and beyond from wherever you work best. This is a remote, work-from-home position.

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.
