Merchant Services CRM & ISO Sales Tools

Stop Competing on Basis Points.
Start Selling on Value.

Your reps are cold-calling business owners who have been pitched a lower rate a hundred times — with no statement analysis before the call, no real data behind the savings claim, and no answer when the next ISO undercuts by 5 basis points. Clozo arms your payment processing sales team with AI statement-analysis scripts and objection cards — written for that exact merchant, on screen before the phone rings — that turn cold calls into signed merchant accounts — then keeps every call, text, email, and follow-up for that merchant in one timeline. It is the sales and marketing platform built for ISOs: CRM and pipeline, a built-in cloud phone and power dialer, conversation intelligence, email and social outreach, and organization-wide AI — in one system instead of ten.

The Merchant Services Sales Problems Destroying Your Residual Income

Credit card processing sales is a grind. Your reps are dialing 200 merchants a day, getting the same objections, and losing deals to ISOs who undercut by 5 basis points. Here is what is actually killing your close rate and your portfolio growth.

Your Reps Promise "Lower Rates" But Cannot Prove It

Every merchant has heard "we can save you money" a hundred times. Your reps show up without statement analysis data, cannot calculate the merchant's effective rate on the spot, and the pitch sounds identical to every other ISO that called this week. No wonder the merchant says "I am happy with my current processor."

You Are Competing on Basis Points Alone

Your team cannot articulate value beyond interchange. Every conversation turns into a rate war where the next ISO just offers 5 basis points lower. Without a systematic way to show total cost of processing, including PCI compliance fees, batch fees, terminal lease charges, and statement fees, your reps are stuck in a race to the bottom that kills your residual income.

Statement Analysis Happens on a Napkin During the Meeting

Your reps are hand-calculating effective rates during the sales call instead of walking in with pre-built comparisons. They are eyeballing interchange markups, guessing at basis point spreads, and scribbling numbers on a napkin while the merchant loses confidence. By the time they have a real savings estimate, the merchant has already tuned out.

Your Portfolio Is Churning Because Nobody Manages Retention

You fought hard to sign those merchant accounts, but another ISO is calling them right now with a lower rate. Your team has no chargeback rate monitoring, no effective rate drift alerts, and no proactive retention workflow. Merchants leave, your residual income drops, and you are stuck replacing lost accounts instead of growing your portfolio.

Automated Statement Analysis Scripts

Payment Sales AI That Builds Bulletproof Savings Proposals Before the Call

Stop sending reps into merchant calls empty-handed. Clozo's payment sales AI generates statement analysis scripts that walk merchants through their own interchange markups, hidden junk fees, and inflated effective rates line by line. Your reps become the trusted advisor who shows proof, not another ISO cold caller promising "lower rates."

  • Pre-call statement analysis framework identifies interchange markup, PCI compliance fee padding, batch fee overcharges, and buried monthly minimums before your rep picks up the phone
  • Effective rate calculator scripts walk the merchant through their true cost per transaction, including all non-qualified surcharges and tiered pricing traps most processors hide
  • Side-by-side comparison scripts position your interchange-plus pricing against their current processor's bundled rates with exact basis point and dollar savings
  • Objection handling scripts for "I already have a good rate" that pivot to total cost of processing, not just the qualified rate the merchant thinks they are paying

Processor Switch Objection Handling

Kill the "I Am Locked In" Objection With Hard Numbers

The processor switch objection kills more merchant services deals than any rate comparison ever will. Merchants believe their early termination fee, terminal lease, and payment gateway migration make switching impossible. Clozo's ISO sales tools generate scripts that calculate the exact breakeven timeline, turning "I am locked in" into "when can we start?"

  • Early termination fee scripts calculate the merchant's exact cancellation cost vs. 12-month savings at your interchange-plus rates, showing the breakeven in weeks, not months
  • Terminal lease buyout scripts compare remaining lease payments against free terminal placement or payment gateway migration options your ISO can offer
  • Month-to-month positioning scripts eliminate the long-term contract objection entirely and differentiate your ISO from processors who lock merchants into 3-year agreements
  • Parallel processing scripts offer to run alongside the existing processor during a risk-free trial, so the merchant sees real savings on actual transactions before committing to a full processor switch

Complete Merchant Services CRM

Payment Processing Sales Software Built for How ISOs Actually Sell

Generic CRMs do not understand merchant accounts, residual income, processing volume, or portfolio churn — and they leave the marketing to another tool. Clozo is the sales and marketing platform that tracks every deal from cold call to signed merchant account to long-term residual revenue, keeps every call, text, and email for each merchant in one timeline, records and transcribes every conversation with conversation intelligence, and lets you ask one AI anything across all your data. Run your email campaigns and social outreach from the same place with built-in email and social marketing.

Merchant Pipeline Tracked by Processing Volume & Residual Income

Add, rename and reorder as many stages as your merchant motion needs — per team, per rep — cascading from one company default, and tag every opportunity with its vertical and pricing model. Deal values carry their own currency, and every revenue figure is FX-normalized in SQL before it's summed, so your pipeline total is right whether you write business in USD, GBP or AED.

Revenue Forecasting & Portfolio Health

Commit, best-case and weighted-pipeline forecasts side by side, broken out by stage and by rep, computed in SQL from your real stage probabilities and deal values — auditable, identical every time you load it, FX-normalized across every currency you sell in, with accuracy tracked period over period. Available from Scaler.

Portfolio Churn Prevention & Retention Workflows

Build a retention cadence once and enroll accounts into it — emails send on schedule and the calls and check-ins land on the right rep's task list at the right moment. A live deals-at-risk board surfaces going-dark, single-threaded, no-next-meeting and stalled accounts continuously from your pipeline, so your reps can save the account before a competing ISO calls with a lower rate.

Merchant Lead Management by Industry Vertical

Tag your merchant services pipeline by vertical — restaurant, retail, medical, e-commerce, B2B — then read win-loss analysis broken out by source, deal size, rep and competitor, with the loss reason on every closed deal. Stage-activity analytics show transitions, flow and revenue at risk in SQL, so you know where your reps should prospect next.

Payment Sales AI Script Preview

The Merchant Services Cold Call That Actually Gets Statements

Here is what Clozo's payment sales AI generates for your reps when calling a merchant prospect. Every script adapts to the merchant's industry vertical, estimated monthly processing volume, likely current processor, and interchange pricing model. This is not a generic pitch. This is a statement analysis conversation that builds trust and creates urgency.

Opening Script — Statement Analysis Cold Call

"Hi [Name], this is [Rep] with [Company]. I work specifically with [Industry] businesses in [Area] on their credit card processing. I am not calling to pitch you a lower rate. Honestly, you have probably heard that call a dozen times. What I actually do is a line-by-line analysis of your processing statement to find the hidden fees your current processor is not telling you about. Most [Industry] merchants I work with are paying 30 to 80 basis points more than they should, and it is not the interchange rate that is the problem. It is the junk fees on page two. Would you be open to a free statement analysis? Takes me about 10 minutes and I will show you exactly what you are paying versus what you should be."


Statement Analysis Discovery Questions

  • "Do you know your effective rate right now? Not the rate your processor quoted you. Your actual effective rate, total fees divided by total volume. Most merchants I talk to think they are at 2.2% but when we calculate it, they are really at 3.1% or higher."
  • "Are you on interchange-plus, tiered, or flat rate pricing? If you are on tiered, I can almost guarantee there are non-qualified surcharges on your statement that are adding 50 to 100 basis points to every rewards card and keyed-in transaction."
  • "What is your monthly processing volume roughly? I ask because at [estimated volume], even a 20 basis point reduction saves you over [calculated savings] a year. That is real money sitting on your statement every month."
  • "Are you seeing PCI compliance fees, batch fees, monthly minimums, or statement fees on your bill? These are the line items most processors bury in the fine print and they add up to $1,000 to $3,000 a year in pure markup that has nothing to do with interchange."
  • "How long have you been with your current processor? If it has been more than 18 months, your rates have almost certainly been raised through rate creep. Processors count on merchants not checking their statements every month."

Transition to Statement Collection

"Here is what I want to do: if you can snap a photo of your last processing statement and text it to me at [number], I will put together a side-by-side analysis. I will show you your actual effective rate, flag every junk fee, and compare it line by line against interchange-plus pricing with no hidden markups. If I cannot save you at least $200 a month, I will tell you to stay where you are. And unlike your current processor, I do month-to-month agreements only, no terminal lease, no early termination fee. Fair enough?"

A Recorded Line for Every Advisor

Give your desk a recorded line: a business number, IVR routing, call recording, transcription, and AI summaries for your records, and SMS/WhatsApp follow-up — all inside Clozo. Recording, transcription, AI call analysis and IVR are free on every plan, including Free. Every paid plan then includes a monthly allowance of outbound actions for your whole workspace — 200 on Launcher, 500 on Scaler, 1,200 on Conqueror, 2,500 on Closer — where one call of any length, one text, or one WhatsApp message each count as one, and metered call time also draws on a per-seat minute allowance. Anything beyond either allowance is transparent prepaid pay-as-you-go with a daily spend cap. Prefer the number you already use? Verify it as your caller ID — even your mobile — and keep your SIM.

Your Own Business Number

Your company's own business number is free with every paid plan — pick a country and area code and it's live in about a minute. Extra numbers for more advisors or markets are $4.99/mo each. Or verify the number your clients already know, even your mobile, as your caller ID.

Route Every Inbound

Greet callers, run press-1 menus, set business hours, and auto-route each call to the right advisor — with a screen-pop showing who's calling first.

Serve Clients Anywhere

Buy numbers in the US, Canada, UK and Australia — and dial anywhere at transparent prepaid pay-as-you-go rates, with published rates for those four, a conservative flat rate everywhere else, and a daily spend cap so there is never a surprise bill.

Documented SMS & WhatsApp

Follow up by SMS and WhatsApp from your business number, logged in the same timeline as the call for a clean record. One honest note: to text US numbers, US carriers require a one-time A2P 10DLC brand and campaign registration — bring your own registered Twilio or Telnyx messaging profile and connect it in Settings. Calling works the moment your number is live.

Every recorded call is automatically transcribed and re-scores the deal — probability, risk, momentum, champion strength, and competitive position, with the reasoning shown.
