Build the life you want — protecting families along the way.
I'm Dawnn Hills, Agency Owner and Lead Trainer with National Agents Alliance. If you're driven, coachable, and ready to take ownership of your income, I'll show you the proven path I've walked — and the one I've trained agents across the country to walk with me.
The life insurance industry is one of the largest, most recession-resistant markets in America.
Insurance isn't a trend. It isn't a fad. It's a $1.5+ trillion industry that has been around for over a century — and right now, the demand for licensed agents has never been higher. Here's what you're stepping into.
Why this is one of the best career pivots you can make right now.
Most industries chew up new talent and spit them out. The traditional career path — corporate ladder, stagnant raises, someone else deciding when you get promoted — is dying. People are realizing that the old model doesn't work anymore.
The insurance industry is different. It's one of the few places where your effort directly determines your income. There's no cap. No politics. No waiting your turn. If you can have a real conversation with a real family about protecting what matters, the system pays you. The harder you work, the better you train, the more lives you change — the more you earn.
And unlike most "high-income" careers, you don't need a degree, a license to lend, a series 7, or years of unpaid grinding. You need a state insurance license (which we'll help you get), a willingness to be coachable, and the discipline to show up. That's it. The rest, we teach.
This career was built for driven people who are ready for more.
The agents who win on my team don't all come from sales backgrounds. They come from everywhere — what they share is grit, coachability, and the willingness to bet on themselves.
Career Changers
Stuck in a job that's capped your income, your time, or your spirit. You don't need another paycheck — you need a different life.
Veterans & First Responders
You already know how to operate under pressure, follow a system, and serve people. Insurance is one of the best second careers for service-minded professionals.
Sales Professionals
You can sell — but you're tired of selling things people don't really need, with caps on your income or commission claw-backs. This product helps families. The pay structure rewards you fully.
Single Parents & Caregivers
You need flexibility, real income, and a path that doesn't punish you for showing up to your kid's recital. This business runs on your schedule.
Faith-Driven Builders
You want work that aligns with your values — serving people, protecting families, and building something meaningful that lasts beyond a paycheck.
Entrepreneurs
You want to build a business, not just a book of business. NAA's structure lets you grow into agency leadership and earn override income from the team you build.
Side-Hustlers Going All-In
You've been running a side business while working a 9-5. You're ready to commit fully — you just need the right vehicle. This is it.
People Who Lost a Loved One
You understand viscerally what it costs a family to be unprotected. That conviction is the most powerful sales tool in this business.
Real products that real families need.
You won't be selling gimmicks, timeshares, or vague "financial products." You'll be helping families lock in protection that pays out exactly when they need it most. Here's what we represent.
Mortgage Protection Core Focus
This is the bread-and-butter of the NAA system. Mortgage protection is term life insurance specifically designed to pay off a homeowner's mortgage if they pass away or become disabled. The leads are homeowners who recently took out a mortgage and have already requested information.
Final Expense High Demand
Whole life policies designed to cover funeral, burial, and end-of-life expenses for seniors typically aged 50–85. With 10,000 Americans turning 65 every day, this is one of the fastest-growing product lines in the industry. Smaller premiums, faster underwriting, repeat business.
Term Life Insurance Family Protection
Affordable level-term policies that protect young families during their working years — usually 10, 20, or 30-year terms. The simplest sale in the industry. Most families know they need it; they just need someone to explain it and write it.
Indexed Universal Life (IUL) Higher Earner
Permanent life insurance with cash-value accumulation tied to a market index, with downside protection. Sold to families who want both protection and a tax-advantaged savings vehicle. Larger premiums, larger commissions, longer relationships.
Annuities & Retirement Solutions Senior Market
Fixed and indexed annuities for clients approaching or in retirement — helping them protect their nest egg, generate guaranteed income, and avoid running out of money. This is where experienced agents on my team build serious six-figure books.
Disability & Critical Illness Riders Add-On
Living-benefit riders attached to base policies that pay out for disability, critical illness, or chronic illness — often called "the insurance you can use while you're alive." Sold alongside life policies, these meaningfully boost average premium per case.
Real opportunity. Real support. Real results.
National Agents Alliance has helped thousands of agents build six-figure careers in mortgage protection, final expense, and life insurance. This isn't a side hustle — it's a business model with leadership behind every step.
Proven Lead System
Work warm, qualified leads from real homeowners and families who've requested information. No cold calling. No begging friends and family. You sit in front of people who already raised their hand.
Build Your Own Agency
This isn't a job — it's a business. Promote through the contract levels, build a team, earn overrides, and create income that scales beyond what your hands can produce alone.
Coaching That Closes
I personally train every agent on my team. From your first ride-along to your first six-figure year — phone scripts, presentations, objections, closes. You will not be left to figure it out alone.
How warm leads actually work in this business.
Most "sales jobs" hand you a phone book and tell you to dial. NAA's model is the opposite: families come to us first, then we follow up. Here's the full pipeline.
The Family Requests Info
Through direct mail, online inquiries, or response cards, a homeowner or family member voluntarily fills out a request asking for information about mortgage protection or life insurance.
The Lead Reaches You
That request becomes a qualified lead with the family's name, address, age, mortgage info, and what they asked about. You receive it in your CRM — fresh, exclusive to you, never resold.
You Set the Appointment
Using a proven phone script, you call to introduce yourself and book a 30–45 minute appointment. Most lead-to-appointment conversion happens in 2–3 attempts on warm leads.
Run the Presentation
In-home or virtual, you walk the family through their situation, present options, and write the application. We give you the exact presentation that's been refined over years of in-field results.
Underwrite & Get Paid
Most policies issue within 1–14 days. Once issued, you're paid your commission directly by the carrier — advanced commissions are available, meaning you don't wait months to collect.
You will never be asked to cold-call strangers, work your warm market, or pressure friends and family to buy from you. That's not how we build agents on my team.
Start at 55%. Earn your way up.
NAA's contract structure rewards production with promotions. Every agent on my team has a clear, written path to higher commission levels — and I'll show you exactly what it takes to get there.
Your Starting Contract
Most new agents begin here — and from day one, you're earning a real percentage of every policy you write. Promotions are based on production, not politics.
Promotions earned through production milestones. Override income on top of personal production starts at the Field Trainer level and compounds at every leadership tier above.
What the math actually looks like.
These are illustrative scenarios at the 55% starting contract, based on average premium per policy and typical close rates on warm leads. Your actual results will depend on your activity, training, and consistency.
| Activity Level | Apps / Week | Avg Premium | Weekly Comm. | Annualized* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Part-Time Builder | 2 apps | $1,200 AP | ~$1,320 | ~$66,000 |
| Full-Time New Agent | 4 apps | $1,200 AP | ~$2,640 | ~$132,000 |
| Producer (post-promotion) | 5 apps | $1,400 AP | ~$4,550 @ 65% | ~$227,000 |
| Top Producer + Team | 6+ apps | $1,500 AP | ~$6,750 @ 75% + overrides | $300K+ |
*Illustrative annualization assumes 50 producing weeks. AP = Annualized Premium. Earnings depend entirely on individual production and are not guaranteed. Most new agents do not hit top-producer levels in their first year — but with consistent activity, six-figure income within 12–18 months is realistic for committed full-time agents on my team.
From day one to your first paycheck and beyond.
Here's the exact path agents on my team follow from the moment they say yes — through licensing, first appointments, and their first promotion.
Onboarding & Licensing Kickoff
Welcome call with me. We confirm your goals, get you enrolled in your state's pre-licensing course (if needed), and set up your CRM, lead account, and carrier appointments.
License Up + System Training
You complete pre-licensing, take the state exam, and get your license. In parallel, you go through our agent training portal — product knowledge, presentation, objection handling, and the phone script.
Field Ride-Alongs
You shadow me or a senior trainer on real appointments. You watch the presentation closed in-home or on Zoom — multiple times — before you ever run one yourself. This is where it clicks.
Your First Solo Appointments
You order your first batch of leads, set your first appointments, and run your first solo presentations. We debrief every single one — what worked, what didn't, what to fix next time.
First Commission Checks
Policies you wrote in weeks 6–7 begin issuing. Your first carrier commission deposits hit. From here, the engine compounds — more activity, more apps, more income.
First Promotion in Sight
Most committed full-time agents on my team are within range of their first contract promotion (55% → 65%) by the 90-day mark. That single promotion is a permanent 18% raise on every policy you write going forward.
You'll never have to figure this out alone.
The biggest reason agents fail in this industry isn't talent — it's lack of support. On my team, you get a system, a schedule, and a mentor who's actually invested in whether you make it.

I don't recruit people to throw at a wall. I bring on agents I believe in — and then I work with them until they win. That's the difference.
What a typical week actually looks like.
This is what a successful full-time agent's week looks like once they're up and running. The schedule is yours to set — this is just the rhythm that produces consistent results.
Lead Order & Phone Day
Order your weekly leads. Spend 3–4 hours on the phone setting appointments for the week ahead. Goal: 10–15 booked appointments.
Team Training Call
Live weekly training with the team — product, presentation, mindset. Then run 2–3 appointments in the afternoon and evening.
Heavy Field Day
Back-to-back appointments. Most full-time agents run 4–6 appointments. Submit applications same-day through the e-app system.
Field + Follow-Up
2–4 appointments plus follow-up calls on outstanding policies, cross-sells, and referrals. Submit any pending business.
Wrap & Plan
Final appointments of the week, debrief with your trainer, review the week's numbers, and plan next week's lead order and schedule.
Family. Faith. Reset.
The schedule is yours. Most agents protect weekends fiercely — the whole point of building this business is to take your life back, not lose it.
The myths people believe — and the actual reality.
Insurance has a reputation problem. A lot of it is deserved — built by bad actors, MLM-style outfits, and outdated stereotypes. Here's the truth about what this business actually is.
Meet Dawnn Hills
