The ideal candidate for this position will be on the front lines helping local business owners streamline payments, boost revenue, and modernize their customer experience with our cutting‑edge CRM and Payment Procession Solution. You’ll turn everyday transactions into lasting relationships—understanding the needs of small businesses and presenting passionate business owners with our software’s value.

What You’ll be Responsible for:

• Outreach to Leads: Respond to inbound leads and perform outreach to leads generated by various channels and campaigns including cold calling, email campaigns, social media, and digital advertising.
• Customer Engagement: Serve as the initial point of contact for prospective customers, understanding their business needs and effectively communicating how our credit card processing solution can address those needs.
• Product Demonstrations: Conduct engaging and informative product demonstrations to prospective clients, showcasing the features and benefits of our software.
• Sales Process Management: Manage the entire sales process from lead qualification to closing, ensuring a seamless and positive experience for the customer.
• Relationship Building: Develop and maintain strong relationships with potential customers, acting as a trusted advisor and point of contact throughout the sales cycle.
• Sales Reporting: Maintain accurate and up‑to‑date records of sales activities, opportunities, and customer interactions in the CRM system.
• Collaboration: Work closely with the marketing and product development teams to align sales strategies with business objectives and customer feedback.
• Market Insights: Stay informed about industry trends, competitor activities, and emerging technologies in the payments space to effectively position our software.

• Education: Bachelor degree or equivalent, preferred but not required
• Experience: 1‑2+ years of sales experience, preferably in SMB software sales or the payment industry

Preferred Skills

• Proven ability to meet and exceed sales targets.

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.

Attributes

• Self‑motivated and driven to succeed.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
