Five things worth knowing before you enter this business. These are the ones that mattered most to me.
The day a claim pays out, a family doesn't lose their home. The day an annuity starts, a retiree stops worrying about running out. That's not selling — that's a life staying steady because you were there.
Over a hundred million Americans say they need life insurance (LIMRA 2025), and retirees keep needing guaranteed income. When times get hard, families don't cut protection first. That's the dependable part of this business — you don't have to create the demand.
Whether there are start-up fees, how many carriers you can represent, how commission is calculated, whether you have to buy your own leads. Every platform is different, and these rarely show up in a recruiting deck. I've worked at several. I'll tell you straight where they differ.
You can do this remotely, full-time or part-time. But to be blunt: no one managing you also means no one pushing you. This suits people who can keep their own schedule.
No degree and no sales background required. We represent the carriers' products, so there's nothing to buy up front. The main startup cost is the state licensing exam, which most people finish in two to four weeks.
What we value is not your contact list — it's you. Starting with people you know is fine; they're often your first clients. But you have to be able to genuinely help them first — and that's what our training is for: solid expertise, solid conversations, and a business that lasts because it's built on trust.
Fixed online and in-person team training, plus one-on-one coaching arranged as you need it: from product knowledge and sales conversations to objection handling, all the way to closing on your own. Plus a dedicated back-office team, so you can focus on serving clients.
Your commission structure, your advancement path — designed around you. Our model leaves the profit with the agent. Here, your growth isn't a side effect of our business model. It's the whole point.
Shop the entire market. With access to 100+ insurance partners, you can select based on each client's needs instead of being locked into one company's products.
