Managed sales team

We sell payments to your customers.

Pulse's in-house sales team contacts your existing customers, walks them through the application, and gets them approved and processing on your platform — you never hire or manage a single rep.

Why Pulse Managed Sales

Your customers already exist. We activate them.

Building a payments sales team from scratch takes 12–18 months and costs real headcount. With Pulse, that team is already built — trained on your vertical, aligned to your platform, and working your customer list from day one. Pair it with Pulse's merchant onboarding and underwriting and the path from identified to processing is end-to-end.

Build-it-yourself vs. Pulse

Hiring, training, ramping, and managing a payments sales team is a full-time business unit — not a side initiative. Pulse operates the entire motion on your behalf. Merchant boarding, revenue share, and processor data are first-class — so Pulse reps close faster and hand off cleaner than any generic team ever could.

Your dedicated team

A roster of reps, already on your customers.

Pulse-employed reps, aligned to your verticals and working your customer list right now — each carrying their own pipeline, activation rate, and live merchant count.

What's included

The full activation motion.

Dedicated payments reps — already hired

Pulse fields a trained, in-house payments sales team on day one. No job posts, no onboarding, no quota management on your end. We handle the full hiring-to-productivity cycle.

  • Trained on your platform and customer base
  • Pulse-employed — never a contractor or reseller
  • Dedicated reps aligned to your vertical
  • Regular ISV briefings and strategy syncs
  • Onboarding SLA measured in days, not quarters
  • Rep performance managed by Pulse, not you

Activation across your entire customer base

We work from identified → contacted → application → approved → processing. Every existing customer on your platform is a potential payment activation — Pulse pursues them so you can stay focused on product.

Real-time activation dashboard

Full visibility into every stage of the activation funnel — who has been contacted, who is in application, who is live and processing. You see the motion without running it.

  • Activation funnel by cohort or customer segment
  • Merchants in application vs. approved vs. live
  • Volume ramp per newly activated merchant
  • Stalled application alerts with next action
  • Monthly activation rate and revenue attribution

Outreach and follow-up — fully managed

Pulse sequences calls, emails, and follow-ups against your customer list. We own the cadence, the objection handling, and the close — you receive an approved merchant.

Seamless hand-off to processing

Once a merchant is approved, Pulse coordinates boarding onto your preferred processor — Fiserv, NMI, TSYS, or Stripe — and confirms the first settlement cycle before closing the activation record.

Visibility without involvement.

Your activation dashboard shows every merchant in the funnel — stage, assigned rep, volume on activation, and time in stage — so you always know the motion is moving without having to run it yourself.

Application to approval — owned by Pulse.

Our reps collect documents, coordinate with Sovos KYC and Plaid bank verification, and shepherd each application to a decision. You receive approved, processing merchants — not a pile of incomplete files.

Outcomes

More merchants live. Zero headcount added.

Zero hiring overhead

Pulse carries the full cost and complexity of recruiting, training, and managing the sales team. Your ops team never touches a rep.

Revenue from existing customers

Merchants already on your platform are the highest-conversion targets. Pulse turns dormant relationships into processing volume.

Live activation reporting

See every merchant's stage in real time — contacted, in review, approved, live. No end-of-month mystery.

Application to approval — handled

Our reps guide merchants through the application, gather docs, and liaise with underwriting so approvals move fast.

Intelligent prioritization

Pulse scores your customer base by processing likelihood and works highest-potential merchants first — maximizing early volume ramp.

Compliant and auditable

Every outreach, application, and approval is logged to an immutable audit trail. PCI-aligned, role-restricted, and ready for processor review.

Who it's for

  • Vertical SaaS platforms that want to monetize payments without building a sales org
  • ISVs whose customers already process card volume through generic processors
  • Product teams focused on core software — not managing a payments sales motion
  • Platforms that have tried self-serve payments sign-up and seen low conversion
  • Operators who need predictable payments revenue without unpredictable headcount

Now onboarding software partners

Turn your software into a payments business.

We sell it, board it, underwrite it, and run it. You add a revenue line to your platform without adding headcount.
