What is an independent contractor?

An Independent Contractor has a different type of employment agreement than a regular employee of a company. Independent Contractors are not guaranteed a steady paycheck. They cannot rely on their employer to provide all the materials and equipment needed to complete their work. The benefit to working as an Independent Contractor is that you have more control over how you conduct your work and the timeline for your projects. You must keep careful documentation for your taxes since you invoice clients for your work at an agreed rate and your clients do not pay payroll taxes or make any withholdings as they would for traditional employees.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an independent contractor, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Independent Contractor, you need strong expertise in your specific field, self-management abilities, and typically a business license or relevant credentials. Familiarity with project management tools, invoicing software, and contract management systems is often required. Outstanding communication, time management, and networking skills set successful independent contractors apart. These abilities are crucial for delivering high-quality work, maintaining client relationships, and sustaining a successful independent business.

How does an independent contractor typically manage client communication and project deadlines?

As an Independent Contractor, maintaining clear and timely communication with clients is essential for project success. Contractors often use a combination of email, project management tools, and scheduled meetings to keep clients updated on progress and address any concerns. Managing multiple projects simultaneously can be challenging, so setting realistic deadlines, tracking milestones, and proactively discussing any potential delays are important practices. By establishing clear expectations and regular check-ins, Independent Contractors can foster strong client relationships and ensure projects stay on track.

What is the difference between Independent Contractor vs Freelance Writer?

AspectIndependent ContractorFreelance Writer

Work EnvironmentOften works independently, may contract with multiple clientsWorks independently, usually on a project basis for various clients
Employer & Industry UsageUsed across many industries including construction, IT, consultingCommon in media, marketing, publishing, and content creation

While both Independent Contractors and Freelance Writers work independently and contract with clients, Independent Contractors often operate across various industries and may require industry-specific credentials. Freelance Writers focus on content creation, typically needing strong writing skills and portfolios. Both roles offer flexibility but differ in industry application and credential requirements.

What do I do as an independent contractor?

As an independent contractor, you provide services to clients or companies on a contractual basis, often working independently rather than as an employee. You are responsible for managing your own schedule, taxes, and equipment, and may need to obtain relevant licenses or certifications depending on the industry. Successful contractors typically communicate clearly, meet deadlines, and deliver quality work to maintain client relationships.

Job description

Licensed Life Insurance Agent

100% Remote  |  Uncapped Commissions

Taubman Financial Management

 

●      Location: Remote (Work from anywhere)

●      Compensation: 1099 Independent Contractor — Commission Only, Uncapped

●      Job Type: Independent Contractor (1099)

About the Opportunity

Taubman Financial Management is looking for licensed life insurance agents who are ready to stop doing administrative busy work and start doing what they do best: selling and advising. This is a 1099 independent contractor, commission-only opportunity — we've built a fully automated back-office system that handles the paperwork, lead delivery, policy processing, and follow-up logistics — so you can spend your time in front of clients, not buried in admin tasks.

Whether you want to run as a solo producer or build and lead your own team, the path is yours to choose.

If you're a self-motivated agent who wants uncapped earning potential, a flexible remote schedule, and the infrastructure to dynamically scale your book of business, this is built for you.

About Taubman Financial Management

Taubman Financial Management was built on a simple belief: agents perform best when they're empowered to sell, not slowed down by systems that weren't designed for them. We've invested heavily in automation and infrastructure most agencies don't offer, giving our team a real competitive edge in the field — faster lead flow, less friction, and more time in front of clients.

Our leadership team is hands-on and invested in agent success, offering mentorship and support drawn from years of production experience in the life insurance industry. We've built a culture around performance, integrity, and long-term growth — for our clients and for our agents. When you join Taubman Financial Management, you're joining an organization that's genuinely invested in helping you build a sustainable, scalable career, not just fill a seat.

What You'll Do

●      Consult with clients to assess their life insurance and financial protection needs

●      Present and sell life insurance products tailored to each client's situation

●      Build long-term client relationships through honest, needs-based advising

●      Work leads delivered through our automated system — no cold prospecting required

●      Close business remotely via phone, video, or digital application tools

●      Grow as a solo producer, or recruit and build your own team — the choice is yours

What We Provide

●      Fully automated system – lead generation, appointment setting, e-applications, and policy tracking are handled for you

●      100% remote – work from anywhere, on a schedule that works for you

●      Uncapped commissions – as a 1099 contractor, your income is determined entirely by your production — no ceiling

●      Flexible growth path – build as a solo producer or lead your own team, whichever fits your goals

●      Ongoing training and support – product training, sales scripts, and mentorship from top producers

●      No admin burden – we've eliminated the busywork so you can focus on selling and consulting

Build a Team, Build Your Income

Want to grow beyond individual production? Taubman Financial Management gives you a real path to build and lead your own team:

●      Override commissions – earn on the production of agents you recruit and develop

●      Formal leadership tracks – advance through defined titles and levels as your team grows

●      Recruiting incentives – earn bonuses for bringing on new licensed agents

●      Ongoing leadership support – guidance and mentorship as you transition from producer to team builder

Solo production or team leadership — both paths offer uncapped upside, and you decide which one (or both) fits your goals.

What We're Looking For

●      Active life insurance license (required)

●      Strong communication and consultative sales skills

●      Self-driven, coachable, and comfortable working independently as a 1099 contractor

●      Comfortable with commission-only, performance-based income

●      Interest in either individual production or team building/leadership

●      Prior experience in life insurance, financial services, or a related sales role preferred

●      Reliable internet connection and a quiet space for client calls

Why Agents Choose Taubman Financial Management

We believe agents should be salespeople and consultants — not paperwork processors. Our automated infrastructure removes the friction so you can focus on relationships, conversations, and closing business — whether you're building your own book solo or growing a team under you — with unlimited commission potential and full control as an independent contractor.
