From Side Hustle to Success: My Journey at Riverside Payments

This blog post isn't your typical "day in the life" story. It's a testament to the incredible opportunities for growth and development available at Riverside Payments. Let me tell you, my journey here has been nothing short of transformative.

Early Days: Building My Own Success

After facing some challenges in my younger days, I found myself needing a fresh start. That's when I discovered the 1099 Outside Sales role at Riverside Payments. What initially drew me in? The flexibility and income potential of the role were huge motivators. But more than that, I craved the chance to be my own boss, to control my schedule and my earning potential.

Of course, it wasn’t the easiest starting out and there were some hurdles. Learning the sales ropes, building a client base, and accepting mentorship were the biggest. But here's the thing: Riverside Payments didn't just throw me to the wolves. The mentorship and training provided were invaluable to me. They equipped me with the tools and confidence I needed to succeed. Plus, the flexibility allowed me to travel and even bring my son along, which meant the world to me.

Growth and Development: A Culture of Opportunity

My dedication paid off. As a top sales rep, I was offered a promotion to Senior Account Executive, where I could lead my first team. My leadership journey had begun! Riverside's culture of growth fostered my development. It's a collaborative, supportive environment where everyone's success is celebrated. This spirit was there from day one of training, and it's what continues to fuel me to this day, as I head my team of over 80 marketers.

Success and Leadership: Empowering Others

Today, success for me is about witnessing the growth of my team. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing someone I mentor get promoted. My experience as a 1099 salesperson comes in handy every day. The skills I honed, the ability to connect with clients and understand their needs – these are all crucial in my leadership role.

Looking Back: Beyond Expectations

If I’m being honest, I never imagined I'd be where I am today – professionally, financially, and personally. Riverside Payments empowered me to provide a good life for my son and to become a mentor myself. Being given the opportunity to move from Texas to our Washington Headquarters gave me a fresh start that has been life-changing.

Life at Riverside: More Than Just a Job

Working here has truly enriched my life outside of work. The work-life balance allows me to spend quality time with my son, something I wouldn't trade for the world. Financially, I can provide a level of comfort I never thought possible.
