Job Description

OVERVIEW The Outside Sales Representative is the catalyst behind Heartland’s success as an organization. As a consultative sales professional, the Outside Sales Representative is responsible for driving revenue growth and bringing in net new business from prospects. Representatives set appointments with business owners to educate them about Heartland’s payment processing solution(s). They do this by prospecting over the phone, face-to-face, through their networks, and building referral partnerships. Outside Sales Representatives get compensated solely for the business they bring in and build up residuals across all of their customer base. The compensation is highly leveraged with the opportunity for creating passive income while working flexible hours with the opportunity to advance in the company within a few months. ROLE Your role as an OUTSIDE SALES REPRESENTATIVE is to close sales of our business solutions with merchants throughout the area. As a Outside Sales Representative with Heartland, you will work closely with your local Division or Territory Manager to set appointments with business owners over the phone, face-to-face, through your network, and via referral partnerships that you build. You will then run scheduled appointments, uncover needs, and present Heartland solutions to close sales in our target vertical markets (restaurants, retail, medical, lodging, auto repair, salons, etc.). A Outside Sales Representative reports to a Division Manager and receives coaching from a Territory Manager. During the training/ramp-up period, your DM or TM will accompany you on your initial appointments to train you on our short-cycle sales process using Atlas, our groundbreaking tablet-based CRM platform for lead generation, sales presentations, on the spot client financial analysis, and paperless contract processing. You will then have the freedom to set your own work schedule while working primarily from a home office and maximizing the upside on the business you bring in.
