Field Sales Executive

Your Daily Operation

The most successful Sales Partners do not wait for opportunities - they create them. Here is what building your business looks like week to week:

• Fearless Prospector: Prospecting a minimum of 30 local SMEs every day through face-to-face visits and outbound outreach - retailers, restaurants, cafes, beauty salons, and beyond.
• Consultative Selling: Analysing each merchant's current payment setup, identifying genuine pain points, and presenting SumUp's full ecosystem - payments, POS, and operations - as the superior long-term solution.
• Pipeline & Territory Management: Owning your designated territory while recognising you're free to generate business anywhere in the UK. Planning your sales week independently, managing your CRM, and progressing merchants from initial conversation through to hardware installation and onboarding.
• Meaningful Conversations: Creating at least three real sales conversations every day and converting them into 3-5 new merchant partnerships every week.
• Relationship Building: Becoming the recognised payments expert within your local business community - the person SME owners call first.

Consistency creates momentum. Momentum creates freedom.

Who This Role is NOT For

• Individuals seeking a secure monthly base salary or corporate benefits package.
• Account managers who prefer managing existing relationships over new business acquisition.
• Candidates looking for a relaxed entry-level position or structured customer service environment.
• Anyone who has not operated in a commission-driven, self-generated pipeline role before.

The Financial Blueprint (Partnership bonuses)

We are more than just a card reader, you can build and grow your business across offer one of the most competitive commission structures in the payments technology industry:

• Upfront Commission: 50% of the upfront contract value paid immediately upon sign-up (average upfront value per merchant: approx. £500).
• Lifetime Residuals: Lifetime Residuals: Earn 25% recurring income from the transaction volume of every merchant you sign, paid monthly for up to 5 years. To support your first 3 months, your residuals are enhanced by up to 3× while you build your portfolio.
• Hardware & Software Incentives: Additional direct commission on every card reader sold.
• Earnings Benchmark: 40% of our active independent partners consistently earn £7,000+/month. Our top performers are well beyond that.

Note: This is a 100% commission-only, self-employed role. There is no basic salary. Your financial outcome is entirely a reflection of your drive, discipline, and sales competence.

Critical Requirements - Who We Are Looking For

This is a high-reward role designed for resilient, self-directed sales professionals. You will only succeed here if you meet the following:

• Proven Track Record: Experience in high-rejection, face-to-face or B2B sales environments - field sales, door-to-door, telecoms, energy broking, merchant services, or similar.
• The Hunter Mindset: You do not wait for leads. You love the cold approach. You possess advanced objection-handling skills and treat every "no" as data, not defeat.
• Financial Resilience: You understand self-employment and have the financial stability to bridge an initial pipeline-building phase before residuals begin compounding.
• Self-Discipline: You operate entirely self-directed. You do not need daily management, corporate supervision, or external motivation to show up and perform.
• Commercial Awareness: You understand what a recurring revenue asset is worth and can articulate that value to a business owner in plain English.
