• Maintain accurate records of leads, interactions, and sales outcomes in CRM systems and report progress consistently.
• Travel frequently within assigned territories to maximize coverage and build a strong local presence.

• 1–3 years in B2B sales, field sales, financial services, or related roles (experience in payments or banking is a plus).

• Proven hunter mentality, self-motivated, resilient, persistent, and driven by sales targets.
• Excellent interpersonal, communication, persuasion and negotiation skills.
