We are seeking  an honest, competitive, ethical and self-motivated Outside Territory Sales Manager to present business solutions to merchants throughout our area. As a Territory Sales Manager with Heartland, you will work closely with your local Division Manager to set appointments with business owners using phone prospecting, face-to-face prospecting, networking, and referral partner relationships. You will 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.). During the training / ramp up period, your local manager will accompany you on your initial appointments to demonstrate our short-cycle sales process using atlas, our groundbreaking iPad CRM platform for lead generation, sales presentations, on the spot client financial analyses and paperless contract processing. You will then have the freedom to set your own work schedule and work primarily from a home office as you enjoy the best compensation and benefits plan in the payments processing industry.

Qualified candidates must possess excellent prospecting, communication, presentation and networking skills and be able to work well independently and as part of a team. Our ideal Outside Sales Representative is an incentive-driven sales “hunter” with a professional demeanor, impeccable integrity, a high sense of urgency and innate sales talent and aptitude. You must also enjoy cold-calling and speaking with people face to face and be eager to develop your consultative sales skills.

Compensation-Benefits

This is a W2, full benefits position working primarily from a home office with a majority of time spent in the field. First year relationship managers can expect average earnings of $65,000 - $95,000+ in the form of uncapped commissions. Top performers are in the $150,000+ range. Compensation includes weekly up-front signing bonus commissions paid each Friday, monthly residual income that pays starting the first month, and portfolio equity once vested. Once our Relationship/Territory Managers hit a designated sales production requirement they are what we call "vested" and now "own" the monthly residual. This means the sales manager is paid the monthly residuals as long as their clients are processing with Heartland, whether or not the sales manager is still employed with Heartland. In addition, they have the option to cash out some or all of their monthly residual for 30 times its value as a portfolio buyout (i.e. $1,000 in monthly residuals can be sold back to the company for a $30,000 buyout).

Selling Power magazine named us the #1 service company to sell for over three consecutive years thanks to our compensation, comprehensive 90 day ramp-up period, ongoing training with the Sales Technology Team, guidance from a designated Sales Mentor and support from our local management team. We offer career advancement opportunities that lead to long-term success and growth within our company and tend to promote hard workers quickly. Best of all, you have the freedom to decide when and where you work!
