Representative – Remote Sales

Remote Sales Opportunity
Income Potential: $70,000 - $275,000+ per year
Arete Agency is expanding our nationwide remote sales team and looking for motivated, competitive individuals who want to build a career where income and advancement are driven by performance rather than tenure.
This is a 100% remote, 1099 independent contractor opportunity. There is no physical office. Representatives work virtually, meet with clients through Zoom, and can build their business from anywhere within the states where they are licensed.
As our agency continues to grow, we are especially interested in individuals who want more than an individual sales role. Strong producers can advance into leadership and management, develop their own teams, and create substantially greater long-term income opportunities as the organization expands.
What Makes the Opportunity Different
Warm Leads Provided — No Traditional Cold Calling
Representatives work with warm leads generated through established programs and relationships. These are individuals and families who have expressed interest in receiving information about available benefits and coverage.
You are not expected to build your business by randomly cold calling the general public.
100% Remote Sales
The entire sales process is virtual. Client appointments are conducted through Zoom, applications are completed electronically, and representatives have access to the systems needed to manage their business remotely.
Performance-Based Growth
Advancement is based on results rather than simply how long you've been with the organization. Representatives who demonstrate strong production, consistency, and leadership ability can progress into management and team-building opportunities.
Your Role
The role centers around meeting with prospective clients, understanding their needs, explaining the benefits and coverage available to them, and helping them select appropriate options for their families.
You will:
• Meet with warm leads through scheduled Zoom appointments
• Learn about each client's needs, priorities, and existing coverage
• Explain available benefits and insurance options
• Help clients determine appropriate coverage for their situation
• Complete applications and maintain accurate client information
• Follow an established sales system while developing your own communication and closing ability
• Track activity and continually improve performance
• Participate in ongoing training and coaching
What We Provide
Warm Leads — Access to prospective clients who have already expressed interest in receiving information.
Training & Mentorship — Ongoing sales training, coaching, and direct mentorship from experienced producers and agency leadership.
Proven Sales Systems — Established presentation, CRM, application, and client-management systems supporting the complete virtual sales process.
Licensing Support — You do not need to already hold an insurance license to apply. We provide step-by-step guidance through the licensing process, and many candidates can become licensed within a few weeks. Requirements, costs, and processing times vary by state.
Renewal Income — Qualifying policies that remain in force can generate ongoing renewal commissions, which can vest over time according to applicable contract provisions.
Leadership Development — Strong performers can earn opportunities to move into management, recruit and develop a team, and continue advancing within the organization.
Compensation & Income Potential
This is a 1099 independent contractor position with commission-based compensation. It is not an hourly or salaried role.
Income is performance-based and there is no fixed earnings cap. The $70,000-$275,000+ range reflects the earning potential of the position rather than guaranteed compensation. Individual results vary based on production, consistency, experience, and performance.
Compensation can include:
• Commission earned on issued business
• Performance-based bonus opportunities
• Renewal commissions on qualifying policies that remain in force
• Long-term renewal income that can vest according to contract provisions
• Additional income and advancement opportunities through leadership and team development
For representatives who consistently produce and develop leadership ability, the long-term opportunity extends beyond individual sales into management and agency growth.
This opportunity is best suited for someone who wants uncapped, performance-based earning potential rather than a fixed salary.
Who We're Looking For
Prior insurance experience is not required. We're more interested in finding people with the discipline, competitiveness, communication ability, and work ethic to succeed in a performance-driven environment.
People with backgrounds in sales, real estate, automotive sales, business development, recruiting, entrepreneurship, customer-facing roles, competitive athletics, military service, or other results-oriented environments may transition particularly well into the role.
Strong candidates are typically:
• Self-motivated and competitive
• Comfortable working toward measurable goals
• Coachable and receptive to feedback
• Professional and confident communicating with people
• Disciplined enough to work independently from home
• Comfortable with accountability and performance expectations
• Motivated by both income potential and career advancement
Licensing
An active Life and Health Insurance license is preferred but not required to apply.
If you are not currently licensed, you must be willing to complete the required pre-licensing education, examination, and state licensing process before conducting insurance business.
We provide guidance throughout the process, and licensing can often be completed within a few weeks. Exact requirements, costs, and timelines depend on your resident state. Additional state licenses can be obtained as you expand your business.
Requirements
• Must be at least 18 years old
• Must live in an eligible U.S. state; we are not currently hiring in New York or Georgia
• Must be able to satisfy applicable background requirements
• Reliable internet connection and computer access
• Comfortable conducting business through Zoom and other virtual platforms
• Licensed in Life and Health Insurance or willing to complete the licensing process
• Able to operate independently in a remote environment
• Comfortable with 1099 independent contractor status and commission-based compensation
This Opportunity Is Not for Everyone
This position is probably not the right fit if you:
• Need guaranteed hourly or salaried income
• Are looking for an easy or passive work-from-home position
• Are uncomfortable having income tied directly to performance
• Need constant supervision or external motivation to remain productive
• Are unwilling to be coached or held accountable to measurable results
• Are unwilling to complete the required insurance licensing process
If you're ambitious, competitive, and comfortable being rewarded based on results, this opportunity provides warm leads, training and mentorship, uncapped earning potential, renewal income opportunities, and a path toward leadership as the agency continues to grow.
