RN & Healthcare Professional- Remote Life Insurance Agent

Take Your Passion for Helping People Beyond Healthcare

Empire Legacy offers healthcare professionals a way to use the skills they've built in patient care, educating, listening, and advocating for others, to help families make informed decisions about life insurance and financial protection.

As a Remote Life Insurance Agent and Financial Educator, you'll meet virtually with clients, help them understand their financial protection needs, walk them through their life insurance options, and guide qualified clients through the application process.

This is not a nursing, clinical, or patient-care position. It's a remote, commission-based financial services opportunity for healthcare professionals looking to build an additional income stream or transition into a new career.

Our mission: Inspire Families to Dream Again

Licensing Requirements

A valid state life insurance license is required before an agent may solicit, recommend, negotiate, or sell insurance products.

Candidates who are not currently licensed may receive guidance on their state's prelicensing education, examination, background-check, and licensing requirements. Requirements and associated costs vary by state.

Completing licensing requirements does not guarantee contracting or appointment with Summit Legacy Financial or any insurance carrier. Contracting and carrier appointments are subject to licensing status, background review, state availability, carrier approval, and other applicable eligibility requirements.

Independent Contractor Support

Independent contractors may receive access to:

  • Virtual insurance-product and sales training
  • Professional mentorship and coaching
  • Application and administrative-process support
  • Multiple insurance carriers, subject to approval
  • Virtual team meetings and professional-development sessions
  • Prospecting resources and approved lead programs when available
  • A community of professionals focused on service, education, and personal growth

Lead availability is not guaranteed and may depend on licensing, state, carrier eligibility, market conditions, participation, and business needs.

Compensation Disclosure

This is a 1099 independent contractor, commission-only opportunity.

There is no hourly wage, base salary, guaranteed income, guaranteed number of clients, guaranteed sales volume, or guaranteed minimum compensation. This role does not include traditional employee benefits such as employer-paid health insurance, paid time off, or a retirement plan.

Compensation is earned through eligible insurance sales. Actual earnings vary based on licensing, carrier appointments, client activity, completed sales, product eligibility, persistency, individual performance, and other factors.

Independent contractors are responsible for managing their own schedules, business activities, applicable taxes, licensing obligations, and ordinary business expenses.

Build a New Path While Continuing to Make an Impact

Your healthcare experience has already taught you how to educate, advocate, and care for others. This opportunity lets you apply those strengths in a new way — helping families protect their income, loved ones, and financial future.
