Build a Rewarding Career in Insurance

The Good Life is growing and looking for motivated, self-directed professionals who want to build a long-term career in insurance sales.

This opportunity is best suited for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset who enjoys working with people, is comfortable being compensated based on performance, and wants the flexibility to build a book of business rather than simply work a traditional 9-to-5 job.

You will work directly with individuals and families to understand their needs, explain available insurance options, recommend appropriate coverage, and guide clients through the application process.

Previous insurance experience is welcome but not required. If you are not currently licensed, we can help guide you through the licensing process.

Why Consider a Career in Insurance?

Insurance is a large, established industry with continued demand for skilled sales professionals.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics:

• More than 572,000 insurance sales agents were working in the U.S. in 2025.
• Approximately 43,100 insurance sales agent openings are projected each year over the next decade.
• BLS notes that demand is expected to remain strong for agents who help consumers understand their options and select appropriate coverage.
• Independent and self-directed sales professionals continue to represent an important part of the industry.

For someone who enjoys sales, relationship building and helping people make important financial decisions, insurance can provide a rewarding long-term career.

What You'll Do

• Connect with prospective insurance clients
• Conduct consultations by phone and video
• Ask questions to understand each client's needs, goals and budget
• Educate clients about available insurance options
• Recommend appropriate coverage based on the client's situation
• Complete and submit insurance applications
• Follow up throughout the underwriting and application process
• Maintain relationships with existing clients
• Build and manage your own book of business
• Participate in ongoing sales, product and professional-development training
• Manage your own schedule and sales activity

The Support Behind You

The Good Life operates with the support and resources of a leading Independent Marketing Organization, giving our agents access to infrastructure that would be difficult to build independently.

Agents have access to:

• Insurance products from 30 well-known insurance companies
• A nationwide organization supporting agents across all 50 states
• A corporate support organization of more than 200 people
• Consumer lead resources
• Sales and client-management technology
• Digital training courses
• Weekly training webinars
• Product and carrier education
• Marketing resources
• Back-office support
• Mentorship and professional-development opportunities
• In-person training and national events

This combination allows you to operate independently while still having access to established systems, technology, carrier relationships and experienced support.

Build a Book of Business

This is more than simply making individual sales.

Successful insurance professionals build relationships with clients and develop a book of business that can grow throughout their careers.

Agents have vested rights in the business they write beginning from day one, subject to applicable carrier and agency agreements.

Our goal is to help you develop the knowledge, sales skills and client relationships necessary to create a rewarding long-term career in the insurance industry.

Compensation

This is a 1099 independent-contractor, commission-only sales position.

There is no guaranteed salary or hourly wage.

Estimated annual commission opportunity: $120,000–$240,000

Compensation is based on personally produced and placed insurance business. Actual earnings vary significantly based on activity, experience, skill, consistency, product mix and individual sales performance.

High performance is rewarded, but no specific level of income is guaranteed.

Who We're Looking For

You may be a strong fit if you are:

• Self-motivated
• Entrepreneurial
• Coachable
• Friendly and comfortable speaking with people
• Competitive and results-oriented
• Professional and dependable
• Comfortable working independently
• Organized and able to manage your own schedule
• Willing to learn and improve
• Interested in building long-term client relationships
• Comfortable with performance-based compensation

Previous experience in sales, automotive, real estate, customer service, banking, hospitality, recruiting, management or another relationship-driven field can translate well into this career.

Licensing

An appropriate state insurance license is required before conducting insurance sales.

Already licensed? Great.

Not licensed yet? We can provide guidance and resources to help qualified candidates understand and complete the licensing process.

Licensing requirements and costs vary by state.
