The AgentFirst Podcast

In the world of merchant services, working as a 1099 sales agent is anything but simple. Payments veteran and host, Justin Volrath, is eternally fascinated with the life of sales agents, having been one himself for over twenty years. To him, the adrenaline rush of closing a sale is just as interesting as the stories of Agents rushing to a cold call–one hand on the wheel, the other eating lunch. It's a grind. It's perseverance. It's real. On The AgentFirst Podcast, Justin dives into the stories of agents in the payments industry, uncovering what makes them tick, how they approach selling merchant services, and why they ventured into this career path in the first place.
