About the Confidential Client

Confidential Client empowers local small- and mid-sized businesses with best-in-class operations and growth tools. Their suite includes payment and payroll solutions, business websites and social media support, lending and merchant capital, and merchant-facing support tools that help owners streamline operations, increase revenue, and reduce costs.


Role Overview

This field-based Outside Sales role is built for relationship-driven people who want to build recurring income through direct sales to local businesses.

  • Meet business owners face-to-face to assess needs and present tailored solutions.
  • Sell payment processing, payroll, websites & social media management, business lending/capital, customer financing, and merchant support tools.
  • Build and manage a portfolio of merchant clients; earn recurring production residuals as merchants continue using services.
  • Work independently to create your own schedule and develop territory coverage based on your location.

Employment arrangement: 1099 contractor or full-time employee (classification depends on your state).

Compensation model: 100% performance-based (no base salary). This role rewards production and portfolio growth with uncapped upside.


Compensation & What to Expect Financially

  • This role is commission and residual-driven — you build compounding monthly income as your portfolio grows.
  • Many top performers earn well in excess of six figures over time; earnings are tied to production and client adoption.
  • Typical timelines:
    • Many new Consultants close their first deals within 1–2 weeks.
    • Payouts and residuals begin as soon as merchants start processing.
    • It generally takes roughly 3–6 months to build recurring monthly residuals sufficient to replace typical household expenses (varies by individual).
  • Candidates should have a financial plan (savings or other support) for the initial ramp period.
  • Note for experienced candidates: an existing portfolio of merchant relationships can generate production payouts immediately.

Qualifications & Ideal Profile

We value attitude and hustle more than a polished resume.

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree (completed or graduating soon) or equivalent professional experience.
  • Mindset: Highly self-motivated, competitive, resilient to rejection, and entrepreneurial.
  • Skills: Strong communicator, adept at relationship-building, and a practical problem-solver.
  • Logistics: Reliable transportation and willingness to spend most workdays meeting local businesses in-person.
  • Preparation: A realistic financial plan to support yourself during the initial portfolio-building months.

What You’ll Receive (Benefits & Growth)

  • Uncapped upfront commissions and monthly residuals with potential for long-term residual coverage on qualifying production.
  • Comprehensive onboarding and sales training, plus ongoing 1:1 mentorship and full marketing resources.
  • Flexibility and autonomy to build your own territory and schedule.
  • Health perks including access to unlimited virtual doctor visits and discounted prescription coverage.
  • Merit-based advancement pathways into Senior Solutions Consultant, Team Leader, Sales Director, Regional Leadership, and VP roles.

Overview of Hiring Process

We move quickly and transparently:

  • Initial Phone Call Interview — brief conversation about background, goals, and role structure.
  • Final Interview — detailed discussion covering solutions, field scenarios, and territory potential.
  • Offer & Onboarding — receive offer and immediate access to training, sales assets, and leadership support.
