Sales segmentation is the strategic process of dividing a broad pool of prospective merchants into smaller, highly targeted groups based on shared characteristics. For Payment Service Providers (PSPs) and ISOs, the most valuable segmentation data revolves around a merchant's existing payment technology stack and digital footprint.
Why Generic Outreach Fails
If an ISO blasts a generic email about "lower processing rates" to 10,000 merchants, the conversion rate will be abysmal. However, if the ISO can segment out exactly which merchants do not currently accept Apple Pay or Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL), they can craft a highly specific, compelling pitch about modernizing the checkout experience.
