Why Becoming a Sales Agent in the Payments Industry is a Great Job Opportunity!

June 14, 2023

Why Becoming a Sales Agent in the Payments Industry is a Great Job Opportunity!

Becoming a Sales Agent in the Payments Industry Brings Big Benefits

Whenever you hear about a career opportunity, some questions you might ask yourself are:

  • "How much money could I potentially make?"
  • "Is it a growing industry?"
  • "Would I enjoy working in this industry for this company?"
  • But most importantly... "Would this career be a good fit for me?"

When it comes to being a sales agent in the payment processing industry, the short answer is yes!                                                                                                                  But the long answer does depend on your personality and the company you work for.

Your personality and interests.

Becoming a sales agent in the payments industry is a great job opportunity. But that doesn’t mean everyone would be happy in this industry. You have to decide if you have the personality to enjoy a sales career.

There are certain qualities that effective salespeople naturally possess that make the job more appealing to them. For instance, those who are outgoing and persistent tend to do well in sales because they aren't afraid to reach out to potential customers whom they’ve never met before. They can handle with ease the rejection that often occurs in the sales industry. But just because you’re outgoing and persistent, it doesn’t automatically mean you’ll be a good salesperson. You'll need some additional skills too.

The support you receive.

Sometimes it’s not the work you achieve that’s a problem, it’s who you work for. A great sales agent needs to have the drive and determination to achieve their goals, but also be backed by a dedicated payments partner .

Every business is run differently. For example, some payment processing companies in the industry offer their sales agents lifetime residuals for every customer they bring to the table, but others acknowledge their agents’ accomplishments in different ways or sometimes not at all. Being employed by an organization that lets you work as much (or as little!) as you would like - whether at the office or from your home - enables you to make your career exactly what you want it to be.

CardConnect is a payments partner that agents truly enjoy partnering with. Our dedicated agent program provides our partners with the products, tools, resources and value-added solutions that empower them to maintain their current merchant portfolio and win new business, all while remaining successful in a quickly evolving marketplace. Combining Fiserv’s comprehensive set of solutions and innovations with our revolutionary payments technology (PCI-certified point-to-point encryption and patented tokenization) gives agents the competitive edge to become leaders in the payments space. Highlights include:

  • Superior technology with the CoPilot portfolio management portal
  • A dedicated marketing team with a comprehensive marketing library
  • Unparalleled access to the Clover product suite
  • Monthly CardConnect University webinars to ensure you're always in-the-know
  • Dedicated onboarding specialists to enable your success
  • Access to our ISV Commercialization and Referral programs - close integrated sales opportunities, with support from our engine!

If you find yourself dissatisfied with your current work environment or the lack of support, it may be time to seek other options. But don't get stuck in another unhappy, professional contract. Check out the terms you’ll be working under and pay attention to your agent agreement.

Indeed, payment processing is a great job because it offers great opportunities. You may find you enjoy working in the sales industry — but just be sure to weigh all your options before you sign on with one employer.
