Field Sales Executive in St Albans

Location: Regional Field Sales (Your Local Area)

Contract Type: Freelance / Self-Employed (Commission-Only)

Compensation: Uncapped Upfront Commission + 5-Year Recurring Revenue | OTE £7,000-£10,000+/month

Ready to take on building your own business, backed by one of the world's leading fintech brands? This is not just a job; it's an opportunity to drive your own journey. We are looking for entrepreneurs.

As a self-employed SumUp Field Sales Partner, you will represent technology trusted by millions of merchants globally, while creating a compounding income stream that is directly linked to your ambition and your closing rate. There are no limits on what you can achieve. For those who fully commit, six-figure earnings are a realistic first-year outcome. Many of our most successful Sales Partners earn £200,000+ per year, and our second-year entrepreneurs are already on the path to building million-pound businesses - driven entirely by the power of recurring residual income.

The Financial Blueprint (Partnership bonuses):

• Upfront Commission: 50% of the upfront contract value paid immediately upon sign-up (average upfront value per merchant: approx. £500).
• 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.

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.
• Consultative Selling: Analysing each merchant's current payment setup, identifying genuine pain points, and presenting SumUp's full ecosystem 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.
• 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.

Launch Your Business Properly:

Your journey begins with a dedicated full-time training week where you will learn everything you need to build your business with confidence from day one. After that, you are in control of your diary, your pipeline, and your future - with ongoing coaching from experienced field sales leaders who are invested in your success.

Critical Requirements - Who We Are Looking For:

• Proven Track Record: Experience in high-rejection, face-to-face or B2B sales environments.
• The Hunter Mindset: You do not wait for leads. You love the cold approach.
• Financial Resilience: You understand self-employment and have the financial stability to bridge an initial pipeline-building phase.
• Self-Discipline: You operate entirely self-directed.
• Commercial Awareness: You understand what a recurring revenue asset is worth.

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.
• Anyone who has not operated in a commission-driven, self-generated pipeline role before.
