Who We Work With
Our organization serves members and families connected with thousands of labor unions, associations, and professional groups throughout North America.

Your day-to-day responsibilities may include:
- Connect with prospective and existing clients by phone and video
- Schedule and conduct virtual appointments

- Present available benefit and coverage options in a clear, professional manner
- Answer questions and assist clients throughout the enrollment process
- Complete applications, documentation, and other required paperwork
- Maintain accurate and organized client records
- Follow up with clients and provide ongoing customer support
- Participate in virtual training, coaching, and professional development
- Develop communication, leadership, and client-management skills
What We Provide
- Fully remote work-from-home environment
- Flexible scheduling
- Weekly compensation and performance-based bonuses
- Residual income opportunities
- Comprehensive training provided
- One-on-one mentorship and ongoing coaching
- Opportunities for long-term career advancement
- Leadership and professional development
- Health benefit options
- Recognition and performance incentive programs
- Travel incentives for qualifying team members
- Supportive and collaborative virtual team environment
What We're Looking For
We're looking for individuals who are dependable, personable, and comfortable working with people in a remote environment.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- Good organization and time-management abilities
- Comfortable using computers, email, and video conferencing
- Self-motivated and able to manage responsibilities independently
- Professional attitude and willingness to learn
- Customer service, retail, or sales experience is an asset but not required
- High school diploma or equivalent
- Ability to meet applicable background screening requirements
Previous industry experience is not required. Training and continued support are provided to help new team members learn the systems, responsibilities, and skills needed for the position.
Virtual Interview Process
Our recruiting and interview process is conducted remotely. Qualified applicants will be invited to participate in a virtual interview where they can learn more about the opportunity, responsibilities, training process, and expectations of the role.
