Selling card terminals, online payments and merchant services to security companies

Security companies provide guarding, alarm monitoring, CCTV and access control to businesses and homes. Guarding firms focus on staff and scheduling, while systems firms care about equipment, fitting and monitoring contracts, so the right pitch depends on which type you reach.

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.

The security companies that need card terminals, online payments and merchant services are listed publicly. What most payment providers lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What payment providers run into with security companies

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.

Guarding firms and alarm fitters share the same category on most directories.

Add a Guarding or systems field and save a filter for each, so equipment offers never reach guarding firms.

Approved registers and directories give you overlapping lists.

Import both into the same lead file and let Riftjaw flag duplicates in the file and against existing records.

How to open a mail to security companies

Write one mail with placeholders and let the details change per record. These openings tend to work with security companies.

  • For guarding firms, lead with shift planning and filling last minute gaps.
  • For systems firms, talk about reliable stock, remote monitoring and recurring service revenue.
  • Mention the compliance paperwork clients expect, and how your offer makes it simpler.

Fields worth recording for security companies

Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for security companies.

FieldWhy it helps
Company nameThe key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website.
WebsiteNeeded to derive an email when the export has none.
Guarding or systemsThe two sides of the industry buy completely different things.
Monitoring centreFirms with their own monitoring buy software and connectivity.
Sectors servedRetail, construction and events each have their own demands.
Licensed staffGuarding firms depend on licensed people and training.

Questions people ask

Yes. Record the type in a field during research, then use a saved filter on that field as your campaign audience.

Approved contractor registers, industry association lists and map listings are common public sources. You gather them yourself and import them as CSV or Excel.

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