Selling card terminals, online payments and merchant services to courier services

Courier services range from one van owner drivers to same day networks with a control room and many subcontracted drivers. Owners decide quickly and care about vans, fuel, insurance and tools that keep jobs moving.

Payment providers and their resellers reach merchants through field sales, partners and direct outreach to shops and hospitality businesses. A lead database of merchants lets you track who you visited, who replied and who signed up.

Every month you do not reach courier services with a clear offer, someone else does. A list you own lets you work the market in a steady rhythm instead of in bursts.

What payment providers run into with courier services

Field sales and email outreach use different lists.

Keep every merchant in one database with statuses that both field and office staff can see.

Merchant lists from directories are full of duplicates.

The import flags duplicates within the file and against your database before anything is published.

Many couriers are sole traders with no website, so email is hard to find.

Keep their phone number in a field, tag them for a call, and use email from domain only where a website exists.

Courier businesses start and stop often.

Source and date on each record help you judge freshness, and you archive those that stopped.

Questions people ask

Keep the phone number as a field and tag the contact for a call. Email from domain only works when the business has a website.

Yes. Add a field or tags for specialism, such as same day or medical, and save a filter for each.

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, bookings@, office@ and hello@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
