**About the team**
Our Merchant Consultant teams focus on building relationships with existing Groupon merchants around the world. We spend our days learning about what makes small-business tick and how to maximize relationships with merchants to ensure the continued growth of these accounts. We might look like an ordinary eCommerce app, but under the surface, we’re using the latest technology to build products that help small businesses thrive in ways they couldn't have dreamed of before.

You'll focus on the full-cycle management of merchant accounts. Whether you're optimizing a live deal for a business that we've worked with for years, or negotiating to bring a merchant back on our platform, you'll be the point of contact for our existing merchants at Groupon.

Starting day one, you will receive hands-on professional sales training and learn the core skills needed to be successful. Through our training program, you'll learn about customer relationship building, Groupon's sales process, sales strategy, sales psychology, and more.
