Bottomline growth playbook

Segment enrolled vendors by company size, industry and payment volume received, and score which are likely to run their own AP at scale. Build a "Pay your suppliers the same way you get paid" journey: a dedicated page for existing members, an in-portal and mobile-app banner, a short email series from Vendor Success, and SDR follow-up for the top tier with a demo of the payer side. Keep every message compliance-approved, with no fee or rebate promises, and track vendor-to-payer conversions as their own pipeline source.

Network businesses convert faster and cheaper than cold prospects, and each new payer brings its own suppliers onto Paymode, which compounds the network.

[ ] Member segment with size, industry and received volume
[ ] Fit score reviewed by RevOps
[ ] Member-only "pay your suppliers" page
[ ] Portal and app banner after payment receipt
[ ] Three-email series, compliance approved
[ ] SDR routing with member context
[ ] Pipeline source tag in CRM
[ ] Opt-out honored across all channels

Pick the current approved figure, store it once in the CMS, and use that block everywhere, including meta descriptions. Review it quarterly with compliance.

Consistent proof builds trust, and the higher current number is a stronger claim.

• Old PDFs

  Update the most downloaded first.

• Your websiteNetwork size is stated four ways: the Paymode page's meta description says "over 550,000 verified businesses" while its body says "more than 635,000"; the homepage menu and the FAQ say "over 600,000"; the Receive Payments page and the June 2026 G2 release say 635,000.Source

Keep one canonical "Paymode vs. alternatives" page, redirect the others, then add fact-checked pages for the rivals buyers raise most: network size, vendor enrollment done for payers, fraud controls, ERP integration and support. Date each and route through compliance.

One strong page ranks better than four thin ones, and rival pages meet buyers who are already comparing.

Cut the form to name, work email, the payer's name and the enrollment code, default the country to US, show the response time, and route requests to Vendor Success with the payer attached.

Faster vendor enrollment means payers see value sooner and stay.

• Lost data for marketing

  Ask the rest after enrollment.

• Your websiteVendor enrollment: the How to Enroll page answers "Why am I being asked to use Paymode?", "Where do I find my enrollment code?" and "Can I enroll if I don't have a customer paying me?", says fees are shown in the Terms of Service during enrollment, and lists Member Services hours.

Send a short onboarding series after enrollment and after the first payment, each showing one feature with a two-minute video, and track feature use by vendor.

Vendors who use more of what they already have see more value and stay.

Map every source to an owner and a response time, fix duplicate routes, add recycling rules, and publish a weekly speed-to-lead report.

Clear routing stops leads falling between teams.

With the prospect's permission, match its supplier list against the network and show the overlap; for outbound, build account briefs from public data and approved aggregate network signals, governed by the risk and security standards in the role.
