I have a question about a career in the merchant bankcard business ?
I am a 33 year old male and I just laid off from my banking job and I am considering getting into outside sales selling credit card machines and other services to small businesses. The job is 100% commission and it is extremely appealing to me. The company basically sets up appointments for me and I got out and sell small businesses on saving money on their merchant account . Im scared to try it because Im not sure if its a secure income. On the other hand, I dont want to go back to work a 9 to 5 job because I like the freedom that being an independant sales gives me. Can someone tell me if outside sales is a lucrative career ? What about the competition ? Can you make consistant income from it ? Is the merchant bankcard business a good business to be in ?

It is risky job. You just have know if you're ready to take the risk. Even if it seems lucrative because of the 100% commission thing, it's still up to your skills as a salesman. You should definitely clear all clouds with your employer. If your company is still a start-up company, then struggles are expected. Merchant accounts are challenging to deal with, but you just have to know how when to strike.

well consistancey in pay and commision would be faulty so it really depends if your good or not unless its a stable company that your working under i think you should ask them the rest of the questions after all theres no harm knowing more about it
