If you’ve sold payment processing, POS systems, or business services, this is an opportunity to leverage that experience and build a portfolio that pays you month after month. We are expanding our outside sales team nationwide and looking for proven field sales professionals who want strong up-front commissions and long-term residual income — without the operational headaches. Our structure allows you to focus on what matters — getting in front of business owners and closing deals — while our internal teams handle onboarding, implementation, and ongoing merchant support. ## Why Experienced Merchant Services Reps Join Us - High up-front commissions on every deal - Residual income that grows with every account you board - Qualified daily appointments set by our in-house team - Daily commission payouts via direct deposit - Industry-leading payment technology and POS solutions - Dedicated onboarding and merchant support team - 24/7 customer support Most companies in this industry push service issues back onto the sales rep. We don’t. Our support team handles merchant onboarding and service, so you can spend your time doing what actually makes you money — closing business and building your portfolio. Income Potential Our top representative earned over $300,000 last year. A consistent producer closing 6–7 deals per month can realistically earn $125K–$200K annually through a combination of up-front commissions and residual income. Who This Is For - Experienced Merchant Services, POS, or B2B outside sales reps - Professionals who are comfortable working independently - Strong closers who understand how to build relationships and ask for the business - Individuals who want to build and own a long-term book of merchants Who This Is NOT For - Individuals new to outside sales - Order takers who rely on heavy hand-holding - Anyone looking for a base salary or a clock-in / clock-out role This is a 1099 independent contractor position offering generous up-front commissions plus long-term residual income. Nationwide opportunities available (excluding CA, KS, MN, MO, and WI). Experienced Merchant Services agents currently in the field are strongly encouraged to apply. If you’re currently closing 4+ deals per month, this is worth a conversation. ## About Appstar We engage with small businesses to provide personalized technology solutions to help them achieve their goals.
