Field Sales Consultant — Self-employed (Commission-only) Stoke-on-Trent, England, United Kingdom

Join Us in Empowering Our Business Heroes

At SumUp, we don't just see business owners - we see everyday heroes with the courage to chase their dreams. Our mission is clear: to provide small businesses with user-friendly financial solutions that empower their growth. With a founder's mindset and a 'team-first' approach, our global family works together to ensure that businesses can thrive doing what they love.

The Personal Touch

As a Self-Employed Field Sales Consultant, you’re not just a salesperson — you’re a trusted partner for small businesses. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to sales, you’ll receive comprehensive training, tools, and support to help you succeed. You’ll have the chance to earn uncapped commission while building genuine relationships with local entrepreneurs and helping them grow with SumUp’s innovative products.

What sets our top performers apart? The 4Cs: listening deeply to merchants, asking smart questions, showing up consistently, and building trust in local networks.

Your Impact

• Connect with local business owners — from cafés and barbershops to boutiques and salons — and help them discover easier, smarter ways to take payments and grow their business.
• Bring your personality to every conversation. You’ll meet people face-to-face, demoing simple tools like payment systems and point-of-sale devices, and show how they fit each business’s day-to-day reality.
• Take control of your success. You’ll plan your territory, follow up with interested businesses, and turn those “maybe later” conversations into “let’s get started.”
• Solve real problems on the spot. Whether it’s helping a local café speed up checkout or showing a salon how to track sales, you’ll turn questions and objections into confidence and trust.
• Become a familiar face in your community. The more relationships you build, the more your reputation — and your referrals — grow.

You're the great fit if:

• You’ve thrived in customer-facing roles — whether that’s retail, hospitality, call centres, community work, or freelance sales — and you genuinely enjoy meeting people and having real conversations face-to-face.
• You’ve got that mix of drive and discipline — you set goals, stay focused, and bounce back stronger when things don’t go your way.
• You’re curious about how things work — especially when it comes to new products or tech — and you love learning ways to make your pitch sharper and more effective.
• You’re a relationship builder at heart — someone who knows how to earn trust locally and turn it into loyal customers and lasting opportunities.
• You might already have experience with lead generation, door-to-door outreach, or territory sales — but if you’ve ever built a customer base from scratch or grown repeat clients, you’re already halfway there.
