Client Engaged Life Wholesaler (BD/Wirehouse/RIA)

Apollon Wealth Management, LLC, Columbia, SC, United States


Client Engaged Life Wholesaler (BD/Wirehouse/RIA)
Reports to: COO, Advisor Insurance Solutions

Status: Exempt

Work Environment: Remote or Hybrid

Job Description
We are seeking a high-performing Revenue Generating Wholesaler to drive new business development and client acquisition across Broker-Dealer, Wirehouse, and RIA channels.

This is a front-line, revenue-generating role designed for a proven producer who thrives in client-facing environments and is motivated by growth, access, and earning potential. The role combines direct client engagement, life insurance expertise, and end-to-end deal ownership, enabling the right individual to materially scale their production within a broader, more powerful distribution platform.

You will partner with financial advisors and engage directly with their clients to identify opportunities, structure sophisticated solutions, and close business at the point of sale. This is not a support function, this is a true revenue generating seat with meaningful influence over outcomes.

The ideal candidate is an established performer in life insurance and long-term care (disability and annuities where approved), with a track record of success, who is seeking expanded market access, stronger advisor connectivity, and the ability to accelerate growth beyond the limitations of their current platform.

Key Responsibilities

Drive production by sourcing, developing, and converting new business opportunities across BD, Wirehouse, and RIA relationships while expanding existing advisor wallet share and maintaining a strong self-generated pipeline

Lead client engagement by presenting tailored solutions, guiding complex financial decisions, and influencing outcomes to close business while serving as a trusted resource in high-net-worth and advanced planning conversations

Own the full deal lifecycle by leading cases from discovery through placement, maintaining momentum across all stages, and partnering with internal and external stakeholders to ensure seamless execution

Deliver life and long-term care planning solutions (disability and annuities where approved) by designing and positioning strategies (risk management, estate and legacy planning, wealth transfer, ILITs, and business succession), translating complex concepts into clear recommendations

Operate effectively within BD and RIA ecosystems by navigating compliance, suitability, and platform requirements, ensuring regulatory alignment, proactively building and managing pipeline, and collaborating with internal teams, underwriting, and carrier partners to drive efficient case progression and successful placement

Competencies

A proven insurance adviser with a consistent track record of driving and closing new business

Experienced in life insurance and long-term care, with strong product knowledge

Fluent in life insurance strategies, with the ability to lead sophisticated client conversations

Comfortable and confident engaging directly with end-clients, not just advisors

Someone who has likely outgrown their current environment, limited by access, distribution, or scale, not capability

Highly motivated by performance-based compensation with upside opportunity

Adept at balancing sales execution with technical expertise

Qualifications

5+ years of experience in financial services, insurance wholesaling, or advisor-facing sales roles

Demonstrated success in a production-driven client-facing sales role

Strong background in life insurance and advanced markets

Experience working within BD, Wirehouse, or RIA channels preferred

FINRA Series 6 or 7 and Life/Variable insurance licenses required

Why this role

True production role with direct impact on revenue and outcomes

Access to broader distribution and advisor networks to unlock growth

Ability to engage in larger, more sophisticated cases

High earning potential with uncapped upside aligned to performance

A platform designed to amplify proven professionals, not constrain them

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive base salary + uncapped production-based incentives

Additional incentives for point-of-sale cases

Health, dental, and vision insurance

401(k) with company match

Paid time off and holidays

Licensing support, advanced sales training, and career growth opportunities

Opportunities for professional development and career growth
