About the role

We’re looking for experienced field salespeople who are comfortable walking into a business, starting a conversation with the owner and winning a new merchant..

As a self-employed Field Sales Consultant, you’ll sell SumUp’s payment, POS and software solutions to small and medium-sized businesses in your local area. You’ll find your own prospects, manage your pipeline and support customers as they get started.

You’ll need experience in cold prospecting and the commitment to spend time out in your territory each week. You’ll manage your own activity, with training and support from SumUp.

What you’ll be doing

Find new customers through face-to-face visits, door-to-door prospecting and direct outreach.
Focus on local businesses with strong payment volumes that would benefit from SumUp’s products.
Ask questions about how each business works and recommend suitable payment, card-processing, hardware, POS and software solutions.
Manage the sale from the first conversation through product demonstrations, objections and closing.
Help customers get set up and start using their SumUp products.
Build relationships with business owners and ask satisfied customers for referrals.
Plan your visits and follow-ups to make good use of your time in the territory.
Keep your CRM records up to date and track your activity, pipeline and sales results.
Review progress with your Territory Manager and put feedback into practice.

Desirable

An existing network of local business owners who could benefit from SumUp’s products.
Experience in payments, merchant services, POS or EPOS.
