As a Cold Calling Sales Agent, you’ll manage the entire sales process – from the first cold call through to closing the deal.

This is a full-cycle closing role with uncapped earning potential, perfect for ambitious, energetic individuals who love sales and thrive on performance and rewards.
Key Responsibilities
- Make high-volume outbound B2B calls to UK retail and hospitality businesses.
- Engage and qualify business owners and decision-makers confidently.
- Identify key pain points, such as high processing fees, hidden charges, poor customer support, or delayed payouts.
- Present and sell PayHounds’ payment solutions clearly and persuasively, highlighting savings and service benefits.
- Handle objections professionally and close deals directly over the phone.
- Submit merchant applications accurately and ensure smooth onboarding.
- Achieve and exceed daily, weekly, and monthly sales targets.
- Keep CRM systems updated with all call notes, activity, and progress.
Requirements
- Proven cold-calling and closing experience (B2B preferred).
- Strong negotiation and objection-handling skills.
- Confident, persuasive, and able to build rapport quickly.
- Fluent, clear English with a neutral or UK-friendly accent.
- Excellent listening, communication, and interpersonal skills.
- Self-motivated, target-driven, and resilient under pressure.
- Competitive and goal-oriented with a strong work ethic.
- Comfortable using CRM systems, dialers, and digital tools.
Qualifications
- Basic numeracy skills to explain pricing, rates, and savings.
- Professional, honest, and customer-focused approach at all times.
Salary & Benefits
- Extremely attractive commission structure – your success drives your income.
- High OTE with genuine opportunities for rapid earnings growth.
- Uncapped earnings – no limits to what you can achieve.
- Bonuses, incentives, and career progression for consistent closers.
- Base salary plus commission for stability and strong upside potential.
