BOOK YOUR CALL WITH CALLINGAGENCY
More than 90% of US businesses already accept card payments through existing processors, making it difficult to generate new merchant service leads.
Switching merchant providers becomes operationally risky because owners worry about PCI re-certification, POS disruption and staff retention.
Business owners and CFOs block cold calls fast. Generic SDRs get stuck with gatekeepers who can't approve merchant account agreements.
Most business owners get 5+ processor pitches every month. Without proper targeting and industry-focused outreach, your merchant leads get completely ignored.
SEO and paid ads generate irregular merchant leads with long conversion cycles, leaving your sales team with empty pipeline gaps.
Buyers focus primarily on rate comparisons, ignoring service quality, chargeback support, and hardware, turning every sales conversation into a pricing race.
Merchant service companies mostly focus on chasing unqualified prospects. We handle targeted B2B prospecting, outreach, and pre-screening, so your team can get high-intent meetings with verified decision makers who are ready to switch providers and move forward.
We research and build targeted prospect lists by identifying retailers, restaurants, eCommerce businesses, healthcare providers, B2B wholesalers, and other industries based on estimated processing volume, industry type, and payment infrastructure.
We find the right decision makers such as business owners, founders, CFOs, controllers, finance managers and operations managers. Then we verify their authority and approval capability for onboarding new payment processors and merchant service providers.
Our SDRs run targeted cold calling and cold email campaigns for merchant services and credit card processing companies. Value-driven scripts and personalized messaging help you reach decision-makers and generate qualified merchant processing leads ready to convert.
We use LinkedIn Sales Navigator to identify merchant services decision-makers based on their role, industry and company criteria. Personalized LinkedIn InMail messages and follow-ups to engage prospects and generate qualified credit card processing sales leads.
We book appointments for merchant services companies with high-intent and pre-qualified decision-makers. Every prospect is pre-screened for business type, estimated transaction volume, payment processing setup, and switching intent, so your team only meets buyers ready to engage.
Our transparent reporting provides you with the number of leads generated, qualified merchant service prospects, meetings booked, activity logs, prospect notes and conversion rates. We integrate directly with your CRM system (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive) for better lead tracking, appointment management and pipeline visibility.
Our 5-step C.A.L.L.S.™ framework helps turn cold prospects into qualified leads and book appointments.

“… How would you rate your current cleaners on a scale of 1 to 10? — Well, they started out pretty good, and they’ve kind of steadily declined.”
Cold outreach
Hi {{FirstName}},
Most {{industry}} owners I talk to in {{city}} are overpaying 0.4-0.9% on card processing without realizing it — usually buried as “non-qualified downgrades,” PCI fees, or batch fees in the fine print.
Would you be open to me pulling apart your last statement and showing you exactly where the leaks are? No switch required, no pitch. If there’s nothing to save, I’ll tell you.
Worth 10 minutes?

Hey {{FirstName}} — bumping this up.
I just ran an audit for a {{similar business type}} down the road and found $347/month in fees they didn’t know they were paying. Took me about 8 minutes to spot.
If you can forward your most recent processing statement, I can do the same for you by Friday. No obligation.

Thanks for connecting, {{FirstName}}.
Quick reason I reached out — most {{industry}} businesses I look at are overpaying on card processing, usually 0.4-0.9% buried as “non-qualified” fees, PCI charges, and batch fees.
Would it be useful if I ran a free audit on your last statement and flagged what’s actually negotiable? No switch required, no sales call.

A booked appointment is a confirmed meeting with a merchant services decision maker who is actively looking for payment processing solutions and open to discuss pricing, fees, and payment gateways.
We typically target business owners, founders, CFOs, finance managers and operations managers and other decision makers responsible for maintaining transaction fees, merchant accounts and overall payment structure for their business.
