What you need
- At least one year of experience in field sales in sectors such as telecommunications, energy, enterprise technology, waste management, security systems, or food and beverage supply.
- Experience in cold prospecting, particularly through face-to-face interactions and self-identifying leads.
- Experience selling to small and medium-sized businesses with direct relationships to owners or decision-makers.
- Demonstrable results in acquiring new clients and achieving sales targets, with examples of past achievements.
- Ability to manage the sales process from initial contact to closing, including handling questions and objections.
- Strong organizational skills and diligent follow-up.
Nice to have
- An existing network of local business owners who could benefit from SumUp products.
- Experience in payments, merchant services, or point of sale systems.
- Experience in telephone sales, although face-to-face sales experience is required.
What you get
- Commission-only compensation with uncapped commissions based on sales performance.
- Welcome advantage of three times the usual amount of residual commissions for the first three months.
- Residual income of 20% from net monthly revenue generated by referred merchants for up to three years.
- Additional bonuses related to specific products or sales operations.
- Initial training and ongoing support covering prospecting, sales interviews, demonstrations, objection handling, and client support.
Worth weighing
- No base salary or guaranteed minimum income, which may not suit everyone.
- Commission structure is complex and dependent on various factors, including performance and merchant activity.
- The role is entirely independent, requiring strong self-management and motivation.
- Potential for commission rates to decrease after the initial partner period based on activity criteria.
