PayrightNational Sales Manager
Jun. 2020 - Nov. 2021AustraliaAustralian FinTech rising star Payright was founded in 2016 with the vision of changing the way customers budget and pay for higher valued products and services. My role as National Sales Manager is to lead a team of dedicated BDMs across Australia to assist merchants to:
- boost sales and transaction values
- grow profitability
- mitigate risk
- generate business efficiency; and - enhance their customer's experiences The Payright ethos is simple. We provide quick and easy payment options that are always interest free for purchases that are beyond other Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) service providers ("the otherpays"). Payright has solved the problem of merchants using BNPL for high value transactions. We provide higher customer limits (upto $20,000), over longer time frames (upto 30 months). We give customers the flexibility of buying now and choosing how long they need to pay - with zero interest. Our technology platform allows customers to apply in-store or on the go with a few simple taps on their phone. Payright is rapidly growing and is standing out against the traditional ‘otherpays’ by providing a quick onboarding experience, true value driven customer service and solutions where the ‘otherpays’ struggle - like real zero interest products, higher plan limits, better flexibility, longer terms and servicing non-traditional industries. We are not like the rest, nor do we want to be. We are quickly becoming the payment partner of choice for an ever-growing number of merchants across a wide array of industry types. We have developed a brilliant business with our team of customer obsessed experts being our biggest asset. The team has a wide range of experience across finance, payments and technology and are all focused on helping customers pay, and merchants get paid, right! We encourage our enthusiastic and passionate team to engage with Australia and New Zealand businesses to share our ambitious goal. We welcome you on our journey too.
