Verified leads: Merchants who know they’re overpaying on card fees and are ready for a rate review. Exclusive to you.
Independent repair shop · 2 locations
Recorded qualification call and full notes, delivered to your CRM.
Ask our clients how the leads closed and they’ll show you: Recorded review calls where their own sales team goes deal by deal through what closed. Card processing is sold one rate review at a time, and the deal turns on who’s sitting across from the merchant when the effective rate finally gets explained. A verified merchant who already believes they’re overpaying is the easiest first meeting in sales; the hard part is finding them before the next agent does. That’s the part we do.
We message owners and office managers inside your ICP, confirm how they take cards today, what pricing model they’re on, what they think they’re paying and the timeline on a recorded call, and the merchants ready for a review land in your CRM with full notes for your closers.
Every processing lead or appointment clears three stages before your team sees it: Targeted outreach, lead screening and handoff. Each stage exists to create a direct line between a merchant’s doubt about their card fees and your team’s intake and sales process.
Merchants questioning their card fees and close to acting on it, reached at a volume no agent team can cover on its own, in the one place they actually answer: Their inbox.
Nothing reaches you unscreened: Our in-house verification team checks each merchant for needs and intent to confirm they’re sales-ready first.
Double-verified appointments drop into your CRM with a live notification. Anything that misses the scope we agreed comes back within 10 days and you pay nothing.
Every processing lead gets measured against one bar, and if it falls short we don’t bill you for it. Our multi-step scoring and qualification process screens every merchant for needs and intent. Whether they’re on flat-rate pricing that stopped making sense at their volume, curious about surcharging and cash discounting or stuck on a terminal lease, the lead arrives in your CRM already sales-qualified.
Three things decide what a processing lead becomes once it’s in your CRM: Lead intent, handoff and the follow up process. We work all 3 with you, with decades of combined B2B lead generation and sales experience behind it.
What’s driving the review? A flat rate that stopped making sense at their volume, a fee hike they can’t decode, a terminal lease ending, interest in surcharging? What do they process a month, in person or online? All of that gets screened before a lead touches your pipeline. The promise on every lead is the same: Sales-ready intent. They want to talk about their card fees.
Strong intent gets a processing lead in the door; the handoff decides what happens next. Every note that helps your team pick up the sale comes with it: Who they last spoke with on our side, their current pricing model as they understand it, rough monthly volume, their preferred contact. Pick up where we left off.
Delivery is where most vendors stop, and where we stay: After a processing lead hits your CRM we help you run a data-backed 20 touchpoint process covering call cadences, email sequences, SMS routines and how to open the conversation. Rate reviews are a speed game: The agent who explains the merchant’s own statement first usually keeps the account. Keeping you as a client means making you win, so we’ll hold your sales team accountable, and that’s a good thing.
If a processing lead we send isn’t sales-ready qualified, you don’t pay. You get a 10-day window to return any lead that doesn’t match or exceed our quality promise.
Our processing clients aim for a 2:1 to 5:1 ROAS, and the whole program is built to hit it. We model lead price against your per-account residual and how long accounts stay, because in this business the lead is paid for once and the account pays you monthly. Behind it sits decades of combined B2B lead generation and sales experience, and a clear read on what your team needs to scale a program.
We know what this pitch is up against: Merchants have heard we’ll save you money on processing so many times it bounces off. That’s why every lead here starts from the merchant’s own doubt about their fees, confirmed on a recorded call, not from a pitch they didn’t ask for. If lowering filters to lower CPL is most aligned with your program, we’ll tell you. Our north star is account retention and growth for our clients, and it starts before we kick off.
Our processing leads are priced so your residual math works and keeps working as you scale. It cuts both ways: If you don’t win, we don’t win. Here’s a benchmark of going rates in the processing lead space today.
| What you’re buying | Typical 2026 price | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Raw merchant lists (UCC and SIC data) | $0.10 – $2 | Names and numbers only; no signal anyone questions their fees |
| Shared credit card processing leads | $15 – $50 | Resold to multiple agents; the merchant hears five savings pitches in a week |
| Exclusive sales-qualified processing leads | $50 – $175 | Range depends on volume filters and how strict the qualification bar really is |
| Pay-per-appointment programs | $75 – $250 / meeting | Quality swings wildly; ask how the appointment was verified |
The number that matters is the math against the account’s monthly residual. A merchant you board this quarter pays you every month after, and verified intent is what moves that number, not sticker price.
