Are you willing to complete the process of obtaining your state Life insurance license, if not already licensed? Insurance agent licensing requires applicants to pass a state-mandated background check as part of the licensing process. Are you able and willing to complete this requirement? Since this is a remote position, you'll need a personal computer, webcam and reliable internet. Do you have access to these three?
