The Story Behind the Role

Given the 100% commission-based, self-employed nature of this role, how does SumUp specifically support its Field Sales Consultants in maintaining motivation and achieving consistent success, especially during initial onboarding or challenging sales cycles?

That's a fantastic question, and it's something we take seriously here at SumUp. While you're your own boss, you're definitely not alone. We've built a robust support system designed to empower you. From day one, you'll receive comprehensive training on our products and sales strategies. Beyond that, we provide ongoing sales support, access to top-notch marketing materials, and a dedicated team you can reach out to for advice or troubleshooting. We know independent work can be tough at times, so our culture is built on mutual respect and a shared drive to empower small businesses. We celebrate wins together, share best practices, and ensure you have all the tools and knowledge to not just hit your stride, but to truly thrive and build a lasting business within our ecosystem.

SumUp aims to empower small businesses. Can you share a specific example or type of scenario where a Field Sales Consultant's direct interaction truly transformed a small business's operations or significantly impacted their growth?

Absolutely. I remember a consultant, Alex, who approached a local artisan baker struggling with long queues and cash-only payments. They were turning away customers who preferred card. Alex spent time understanding their pain points, then demonstrated how our mobile card terminal could not only speed up transactions but also track sales more efficiently. Within weeks, the baker saw a significant increase in sales and reduced wait times. More importantly, they felt empowered and less stressed, able to focus on their craft rather than payment headaches. That's the real impact of this role – you're not just selling a product; you're providing solutions that genuinely help entrepreneurs grow and simplify their daily operations, building trust and long-term partnerships in the community.

The role emphasizes maximum flexibility. How does SumUp ensure that this flexibility truly benefits the consultant's personal and professional life, rather than leading to isolation or a feeling of being 'always on'?

It's a balance we actively manage. The 'work when and where you want' isn't just a slogan; it's fundamental to our approach. We provide the tools and support for you to be effective without dictating your hours. Many of our consultants find this flexibility incredibly liberating – it allows them to manage family commitments, pursue hobbies, or structure their day to match their energy levels. We foster a sense of community through regular optional check-ins, workshops, and communication channels, ensuring you feel connected and part of the SumUp family, even if you're working remotely. We empower you to define your own success and integrate work seamlessly into your life, not the other way around.
