About Us
TapMate is a fast-growing UK startup on a mission to bring independent businesses into the digital age - one tap at a time. We sell NFC-powered solutions to small and medium businesses especially on the high street, giving them a smarter, more connected way to engage with their customers. Our multi-link tap plates let anyone with a smartphone tap and instantly access a business's social media profiles, Google reviews, booking links, payment options and more - all from a single product, no app required. We also offer smart loyalty card solutions, Google Review products, and NFC-powered table ordering that transforms the hospitality experience. We work with all kinds of local independents - restaurants, barbers, hair salons, beauty studios, home furnishers, accountants, and pretty much every other type of business you'll find on a busy high street. We started on the streets ourselves, pitching face to face, and that grassroots approach is still at the heart of everything we do. This is a young, ambitious company with serious momentum, and we're looking for the right people to grow with us.
Who We're Looking For
We're not just looking for someone who can sell - we're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys people. The kind of person who can walk into a business they've never visited, build an instant rapport with the owner, and leave them feeling like they've just been handed something valuable. That takes energy, warmth, and resilience - especially on the days when the doors don't open as easily as you'd like.
To be considered for this role you will need:
- At least 1–2 years of experience in a sales role, ideally face-to-face, field-based, or B2B - you know how to handle objections, read a room, and close
- A natural people person: warm, confident, and genuinely friendly. And not just when things are going well, but on the tough days too
- A full UK driving licence and your own reliable vehicle - you'll be on the road every day covering your region, and the role simply doesn't work without it
- Self-motivation and the ability to work independently — there's no manager looking over your shoulder, so you need to be the kind of person who sets the standard for themselves
- Someone who takes pride in their work and wants to grow with a startup from the ground up
What You'll Be Doing
- Driving to your designated high street areas each day across your region in your own vehicle - you'll be reimbursed at 45p per mile from the moment you leave your front door to the moment you get back, covering every mile of every journey. You won't be expected to travel further than 1h to your starting destination
- Walking high streets and approaching independent businesses directly - barbers, hair salons, cafes, restaurants, beauty studios, accountants, carpet fitters, and anyone else who could benefit from smarter digital tools at their front door
- Pitching TapMate's range of NFC products to business owners, including our multi-link tap plates, Google Review stands, and smart loyalty cards - explaining the value clearly and confidently to people who may never have heard of NFC before, and turning curiosity into a sale
- Building genuine relationships with local business owners, not just closing and moving on - following up after each sale to make sure they're getting value from the product
- Owning your daily and weekly sales targets - you'll have a clear baseline to hit each day, and every sale above minimum targets unlocks our lucrative commission scheme, with absolutely no ceiling on what you can earn
- Keeping accurate digital records of the businesses you've visited using our tools: the conversations you've had, and the outcomes - so we can build a clear picture of what's working across each region and make sure you're set up for success
- Feeding back what you're hearing on the ground - objections, competitor mentions, product requests, pricing reactions - so we can keep improving what we sell and how we sell it
What We Offer
- A competitive base salary plus a lucrative, uncapped commission scheme - the more you sell, the more you earn, with no limits
- Full mileage reimbursement at 45p per mile from the moment you leave your home to the moment you return - every single mile you drive for TapMate is covered, with no hidden deductions or mileage caps
- The freedom and flexibility that doesn't come with other roles - no office, no desk, no one breathing down your neck. You manage your own day, your own route, and your own time, as long as you're hitting your targets
- A workplace pension, because we're invested in your future as well as your performance
- Real career growth potential - TapMate is expanding fast, and the people who come in now and prove themselves will be first in line as we build out the wider team, introduce new products, and scale into new areas
- The satisfaction of working for a startup that's actually going somewhere - you won't be a number here. Your feedback shapes the product, your performance shapes the company, and your success is our success
