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.

• 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.
