• determining a lack of control where company did not “interfere with [Plaintiff] and his agents selling the products of competitors”
• looking past the face of the contract to “the actual relationship between the parties”
• stating, in finding that insurance sales agents were not acting in the regular course of the insurance company’s business, that the putative employer “could still produce insurance products without [sales agents].”
