Life Insurance Sales Agent โ Hybrid/Remote/In-Person | Raleigh/Triangle Area Commission-Based | Flexible Schedule | Real Earning Potential
What This Job Actually Is
You'll sell life insurance to families over the phone and Zoom. You'll work a mix of inbound leads (people who requested information) and outbound follow-up. You set your own schedule, work from home, and get paid based on what you close.
This is a 1099 commission role โ no base salary. If you're self-motivated and consistent, the earning potential is real. If you need a guaranteed paycheck while you ramp up, this likely isn't the right fit.
Realistic Earnings
- Per sale: $800โ$1,200 commission
- Part-time (20 hrs/week): $30Kโ$60K in year one for agents who hit consistent activity
- Full-time: $60Kโ$120K once you've built momentum; higher for top performers
- Weekly pay
These are realistic ranges, not highlight reels.
