From Opportunity to Autonomy: How Careers in Payments Changed my Life

If you had told me five years ago that I would be enjoying a career in merchant services, I might have believed you. But if you had told me I would’ve already exceeded my own expectations and achieved financial autonomy for myself and my family, I probably would have laughed. But, thanks to Careers in Payments, I was able to expedite my career and find a company that enabled me to build a strong and profitable portfolio.

I was initially attracted to the merchant services industry because of the potential for residual income and the promise of an entrepreneurial working environment. I started working for a large acquirer which seemed like a good idea, but despite being an established brand, the product offering was limited, the constant requirements and micro
-management was distracting, and the compensation was never enough to get over the hump. In fact, I soon realized I wasn’t building revenue for myself. My residual was not mine at all.

Like many sales professionals in merchant services, I didn’t know if the perfect processing partner really existed. A company that had the business model, products, infrastructure and strength to support me and the merchant portfolio I was building. One that was truly partner-focused and would value my contribution. It seemed like my wish list was too long. Do they have the right culture? The right solutions? The right support? The right tech? Do they pay real residuals? Do I own my portfolio? Is my residual secure?

From the moment I contacted Careers in Payments I felt a genuine sense of support and dedication to my success. They understood the journey of an outside sales professional in merchant services. They took the time to understand my background and hear about my financial and personal goals. They made the perfect match for me.

I am so grateful I reached out to Careers in Payments. They not only introduced me to a processing partner that provided everything I needed, they also connected me directly with the ownership and executive team so I felt confident in the company leadership, culture and business model. I now have a processing partner I can trust.

Looking back I can confidently say that connecting with Careers in Payments was one of the best decision I ever made. And they have remained a key resource in helping me grow my portfolio and grow my business. I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to the Careers in Payments team. Their personalized approach, industry expertise, and unwavering support can make all the difference. They certainly did for me.
