About the role

We’re looking for experienced field salespeople who are comfortable walking into a business, starting a conversation with the owner and winning a new merchant..

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.
  • Ask questions about how each business works and recommend suitable payment, card-processing, hardware, POS and software solutions.
  • 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.
  • Keep your CRM records up to date and track your activity, pipeline and sales results.
  • Review progress with your Territory Manager and put feedback into practice.

What we’re looking for

  • At least one year of field sales experience within sectors such as telecoms, energy, business technology, waste management, security systems or food and beverage supply
  • Cold prospecting experience, including approaching businesses face to face and finding your own leads.
  • Experience selling to small and medium sized businesses and dealing directly with owners or decision makers.
  • A track record of winning new customers and meeting sales targets. We’ll ask you for examples of what you’ve achieved and how.
  • The ability to manage a sale from the first approach to closing, including handling questions and objections.
  • Good organisation and consistent follow up.
  • The ability to handle rejection, learn from feedback and keep going.
  • An understanding of self employment and a willingness to commit the time needed to build your customer base.
  • A base location within easy reach of your agreed territory so you can meet prospects and customers regularly.

Desirable

  • An existing network of local business owners who could benefit from SumUp’s products.
  • Experience in payments, merchant services, POS or EPOS.

About this role

SumUp is hiring self-employed Field Sales Consultants to build a commission-based sales territory in Laois. You'll work independently, finding and closing deals with small and medium-sized business owners across payment solutions, POS systems, and software products. This role suits experienced field salespeople who are comfortable with cold prospecting, managing their own pipeline, and spending consistent time on the ground—you'll handle everything from the first conversation through customer onboarding and relationship building.

You'll need at least a year of field sales experience, ideally in sectors like telecoms, energy, or business technology, with a proven track record of winning new customers and hitting targets. Cold prospecting and direct face-to-face selling are non-negotiable; you should be organised, able to handle rejection, and understand what self-employment demands. An existing local network of business owners is a bonus, as is prior experience in payments or POS.

Earnings are entirely commission-based with no salary floor. You'll earn 50% of annualised payments and hardware revenue, 50% of software revenue, plus 25% residual income on net revenue for up to five years. A three-month new-partner incentive and milestone bonuses apply. SumUp provides onboarding, product training, and ongoing support from a Territory Manager, but success depends on your ability to self-manage activity and build your customer base from scratch.
