How to get a remote job in commercial insurance?

As a remote worker in commercial insurance, you may work as an employee or as an independent agent of an insurance company. As an independent agent, you have more control over the hours you work and the clients with whom you work. You need excellent communication and sales skills to both educate clients on complex insurance options and to convince them to purchase insurance from your company. Required qualifications vary somewhat by insurance agency and state; most states require a college degree that includes licensing coursework, followed by passing a state licensing exam. You typically must renew your license annually or biannually.
