Work strategically by researching your territory, identifying high-potential opportunities, and prioritizing your time effectively. Stay on top of your pipeline using Salesforce to track activity, manage opportunities, and maintain clear and consistent follow-up. Be a local ambassador for SumUp by confidently representing our payment and loyalty solutions and showing merchants how SumUp can help their businesses thrive.
