A 1099 sales network for payments professionals. Sell Arrowhead's portfolio, earn residuals on every active account, and build a network of agents beneath you.
Echelon is the distribution arm of Arrowhead Advisory Group. The traditional sales model in payments is broken. Reps hit their number, the bar moves higher. They build a book of business that belongs to the company, not to them. When they leave, they leave empty-handed.
Echelon is the opposite. You are a 1099 independent contractor. Every account you close pays you a residual for as long as that account is active. Nobody resets your counter. If you know the right people, you don't need to be in the payments industry to succeed here.
Why be an employee? Why be full-time? This can be your side hustle. Or your empire.
Point us to the right door and earn a referral residual as long as that client is live. No full sales cycle required.
You work the full cycle. Prospect, pitch, close. Own the relationship. Trained through Echelon Institute. Residuals on every active account.
Recruit agents beneath you. Earn an override on their production. No ceiling on how deep your network goes.
In traditional SaaS sales, you hit President's Club and they raise the bar. At Echelon, there is no bar. Every deal you close becomes permanent income.
You are not a closer who hands the account to a CSM. You stay. You are the professional on retainer, and that is baked into how you get paid.
Recruit agents, train them through Echelon Institute, earn overrides on their books. Your network is your leverage. No ceiling.
Every Echelon agent completes Institute training before being cleared to sell. Not a checkbox: the quality bar that makes this network credible. The payments industry is full of agents who know just enough to be dangerous. We fix that.
