•Help clients set up and start using their SumUp products.
•Build relationships with business owners and ask satisfied clients for referrals.
•Plan your visits and follow-ups to optimize your time in the field.
•Track your activity, opportunities, and sales results, and pass along the information needed to process sales.

•Strong organizational skills and rigorous 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.
•Phone sales experience is a plus, but you must also have sold face-to-face in the field.
