Build a career, not just a job.

What you’ll write
What you get
Everything you need on day one.
Warm leads provided
Never wait around for leads. From day one you're in front of real prospects — and as you grow, you call the shots: buy your own leads, run your own ad campaign, or build toward inbound. We're behind you on lead strategy the whole way.
Mentorship that shows up
Train directly with producers who are still on the phone every week.
Uncapped commission
Your income scales with your effort — top producers out-earn most salaried careers.
We don't build employees. We build owners.
Every agent we bring on gets the training, the leads, and the backing to win — because our growth is your growth.
Who we are
1UP Life
No insurance experience required — we get you licensed and producing fast. From day one you're working warm leads from the same vendors our top producers, founder included, use to close $40K–100K+/month. As you grow, you've got real options — buy your own leads, run your own ad campaign, or build toward inbound. Whichever path you choose, the book you build is yours
Meet the founder
I Will Push You—And I Will Help You Get There.
Before 1UP, I spent 18+ years in sales — top closer in every role, across every industry I touched, mortgage included. I won Rocket Mortgage's Rock Games. Invited to speak at FFL's Ignyte conference and FFL Convention, and I'm a 3x FFL Top Producer trip winner. In insurance, I've issued over $105K in a single month and closed $1.1M in annuities in one year — the same numbers behind everything else on this page, because I still work the leads I hand my agents. I've also helped people who aren't even on my team train up to six figures. I'm not telling you this works because I read about it. I'm still doing it.
I can't promise you an outcome — nobody honest can. What I can promise is real mentorship, direct feedback, and a team that won't leave you to figure it out alone. If you're willing to work, learn, and stay consistent, let's talk.

Questions
Straight answers.
What are my options for generating business here?
Everyone starts with leads we help get you in front of — real prospects to call from day one. From there, you pick your lane: buy your own leads, run your own paid ad campaigns, or build an audience and brand like we do at 1UP. Plenty of agents run more than one. Nobody has to knock doors, recruit friends and family, or sell to them, to make it here.
Who actually succeeds in this role — and who doesn't?
The agents who take off here have usually closed before — solar, roofing, mortgage, auto, door-to-door — and know what fifty no's in a row feels like. They want their income tied to effort, not a manager's mood or a fixed ceiling, and they're fine starting on warm leads while they build toward whatever's next. This isn't a fit if you need a guaranteed base starting now, you've never carried a quota, or you're picturing passive income with no calls and no follow-up.
