As a Field Sales Executive, you will join the Client Acquisition Team to generate and convert sales opportunities in the Newcastle region. This is a field-based role requiring Monday-to-Friday in-person visits to prospective customers. You will self-generate business opportunities and work with provided sales leads, arranging meetings with SME retail and hospitality businesses to understand their payment and banking needs. Your responsibilities include evaluating prospect data, building relationships through face-to-face validation of needs, presenting Viva's solutions compellingly, closing sales for payment terminals and merchant acquiring services, obtaining referrals from existing clients, and maintaining accurate CRM records.
You should bring B2B sales expertise at mid-to-senior level, a proven track record of consistently achieving sales quotas, and strong understanding of web-based applications and CRM systems. Excellent presentation, negotiation, and closing skills are essential, along with resilience, self-drive, and ability to work under pressure. You must hold a valid driving license and be willing to use your own vehicle for business purposes (expenses covered). A background in banking, card terminals, or technology-driven solutions is advantageous but not required.
The role offers monthly sales bonuses, private medical insurance, car/mobility allowance, mobile and laptop allowances, fuel and parking expense coverage, comprehensive training and ongoing support, and opportunity for progressive growth within an international fintech environment.
