Default Licensed insurance agent looking for work from home! Can anyone refer me?

I have 3 children and nowhere for them to go during the summer months, I live in a rural area in Missouri. I am a licensed insurance agent but quit my job in May to stay home with my kids and possibly continue my education. The continued education plan fell through and I am needing to go back to work. I have heard of many insurance agents working from home but have yet to find or get a hold of a company to work for. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Well, they do that by starting their own AGENCIES in their home, and going out and selling insurance, and living off the commission.

You can try to get an appointment with Progressive, they're the easiest. Likely no one else is going to give you an appointment without a track record.

No one is going to HIRE you to work out of your home, and pay you a salary to do it. It's not practical - an agent needs to be at the office to handle walkins and phone calls and marketing reps. Not to mention the overnight deliveries, and all the gobs of paperwork that go to and from the office. Plus, there's a huge E&O exposure if you take hard files from the office - including mail correspondence.
