About the Opportunity
BEE Financial is looking for competitive, self-motivated people who want to build something for themselves.
This is a life insurance sales opportunity for people who are comfortable talking to others, motivated by performance, and interested in developing a high-income sales skill they can eventually use to operate independently.
You do not need previous insurance experience.
Experience in call center sales, inside sales, high-ticket sales, automotive sales, solar, real estate, fitness sales, door-to-door sales, appointment setting, or other commission-based environments can translate extremely well.
To be completely transparent upfront:
This is a 1099 independent contractor opportunity with 100% commission-based compensation. There is no hourly wage, salary, or guaranteed income.
We're looking for people who see that as an opportunity—not a downside.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
You'll work directly with prospective clients over the phone to understand their needs and help them apply for appropriate life insurance coverage.
You'll learn how to:
- Speak confidently with prospective clients
- Identify a client's needs and financial protection goals
- Explain appropriate life insurance solutions
- Handle questions and objections
- Complete applications with qualified clients
- Manage your own leads and sales pipeline
- Follow a proven sales process
- Use our scripts, products, technology, and systems
- Manage your own schedule, activity, and production
This is a sales position.
You need to be comfortable picking up the phone, talking to strangers, hearing "no," being coached, and continuously improving your skills.
Your First 30 Days
We don't expect you to figure everything out on your own.
During your first 30 days producing, we provide:
- Initial lead flow
- Sales training
- Scripts and systems
- Mentorship and coaching
- Role-play
- Technology and operational support
- Access to experienced life insurance brokers
The purpose of your first 30 days is to give you the foundation you need to learn how to sell and start producing.
But the long-term goal is independence.
We're not looking to create agents who are permanently dependent on us for business.
After your initial ramp-up, the expectation is that you've developed the skills necessary to begin investing into your own marketing and lead generation and treating this like your own business.
You'll continue to have access to the team, training, mentorship, and support—but ultimately, you're responsible for your own growth.
That directly reflects the 30-day model in your recruiting SOP.
Who We're Looking For
The perfect resume isn't important to us.
We're looking for people who are:
- Highly self-motivated
- Competitive
- Confident communicating with people
- Entrepreneurial
- Coachable
- Comfortable with commission-based compensation
- Able to work independently
- Motivated by higher income potential
- Comfortable being responsible for their own results
- Willing to invest in themselves and their business
- Interested in eventually operating independently
Previous sales experience is preferred, but not required.
Your SOP specifically identifies independence, hunger, competitiveness, entrepreneurship, personal responsibility, commission comfort, remote-work discipline, and willingness to invest in themselves as the traits to screen for.
This Probably Isn't For You If...
You're primarily looking for:
- Guaranteed hourly or salaried income
- A traditional 9–5
- Guaranteed results
- An easy work-from-home job
- Someone constantly telling you what to do
- Permanent company-funded leads
- Success without significant effort or skill development
There's nothing wrong with wanting those things.
That's simply not what this opportunity is.
Not Licensed Yet? That's Okay.
You do not need an active life insurance license to apply.
If you're a good fit and decide to move forward, our recruiting team will help you understand the licensing process and provide resources for your next steps.
The process generally looks like:
Pre-Licensing → State Exam → State Requirements/Application → License → Contracting → Training → Start Producing
Licensing requirements, fees, timelines, and approval vary by state.
Compensation
This is a 1099 independent contractor, 100% commission-based sales opportunity.
There is no hourly wage, salary, or guaranteed income.
Actual earnings vary based on individual sales activity, production, skill development, performance, and other factors.
The compensation structure will be explained before you decide whether to move forward.
Remote + San Diego Team
This opportunity can be operated remotely.
We also have an office in San Diego for local agents who want access to an in-person environment, training, and team support.
The freedom to work remotely also comes with responsibility.
We're looking for people who can manage themselves without someone constantly standing over their shoulder.
How to Apply
Apply directly through Indeed.
If your background looks like a potential fit, someone from our recruiting team will reach out for a short phone conversation.
We aren't looking for someone who can simply tell us they're hungry, motivated, and entrepreneurial.
We're looking for people whose actions demonstrate it.
Pay: From $75,000.00 per year
Benefits:
- Work from home

Insurance Sales Agent Jobs in San Diego: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a insurance sales agent job in San Diego?
Focus on employers concentrated in Mission Valley, Kearny Mesa, and the Downtown financial district, where regional carriers, independent agencies, and specialty brokers cluster. San Diego's large military community, federal contractor workforce, and growing life sciences sector create consistent demand for agents who understand group benefits and supplemental coverage. Candidates with an active California P&C or life and health license and any local referral network stand out most in this market.
Which companies hire insurance sales agents in San Diego?
San Diego insurance sales agent roles are posted by State Farm, Farmers Insurance, and Aflac and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring comes from a mix of national carriers with regional offices, independent brokerages, and financial services firms that bundle insurance with wealth management products for San Diego's professional and military clientele.
Are there remote insurance sales agent jobs in San Diego?
Yes, though availability is limited since most insurance sales roles involve client-facing work that favors in-person or hybrid arrangements. About 40% of insurance sales agent openings tied to San Diego are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with remote options most common for phone-based renewals, inbound lead conversion, and commercial account management roles rather than field sales positions.
How can I get a insurance sales agent job in San Diego with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path in San Diego is joining a captive agency, where carriers like those serving the region's large military and government contractor population train new agents from scratch and help cover licensing costs. Entry roles such as customer service representative or insurance sales associate at local independent agencies in Kearny Mesa or Mission Valley frequently convert to full sales positions within six to twelve months. Bilingual fluency, especially in Spanish, is a concrete advantage given San Diego's demographics.
Which industries hire the most insurance sales agents in San Diego?
Most insurance sales agent openings in San Diego sit in Insurance, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. San Diego's concentration of military installations, defense contractors, and a fast-growing life sciences sector drives steady demand for group benefits specialists and agents experienced with supplemental and specialty coverage products.
