Monetary growth playbook

Diagnosis

Monetary (renamed from DebtBook on October 12, 2026) is hiring a full sales team at once: an Enterprise AE, a Mid-Market AE, a Mid-Market Account Manager, an SDR and a Solutions Engineer, plus a Senior PM for Cash & Payments and a quantitative strategist for market data and benchmarks.

That says the strategy is to turn 2,000+ debt and lease customers into a full treasury platform, push into larger public entities, and open a second market with bankers and advisors.

The assets are excellent (21 stories, 33 events a year, $600B on the platform, a PFM partnership) but the rebrand puts the brand name at risk in search, procurement gets no help on the site, and there are no comparison or state pages. This playbook focuses on keeping the name findable, expanding existing customers, giving procurement what it needs, and using the new market data as the lead magnet.

Growth Score

7/10

Biggest Opportunity

Use the data no one else has: a refunding alert for issuers built on Monetary Markets, a public treasury benchmark from 2,000+ entities, and Markets users inviting their issuers into the platform.

Biggest Risk

The new name is an everyday finance word, so the rebrand can cost inbound demand from people who still search "DebtBook"; and long public procurement cycles can absorb a fast-growing sales team.

    Treasurers know DebtBook. "Monetary" is a word that fills the news with central banks and the IMF, so someone who hears the new name at a conference and searches for it may not land on monetaryhq.com.

    Smallest test

    Change the homepage title alone and watch brand clicks for two weeks.

    Why it works

    Put "Monetary (formerly DebtBook)" in the title and first line of the homepage, product, pricing and story pages for the next year; rename the 21 story URLs with redirects; update every directory listing (G2, Capterra, GFOA and state association vendor lists, LinkedIn, Google Business Profile); and buy brand-plus-category search terms like "Monetary treasury software".

    A rebrand is the one moment a company can lose its own name in search. Keeping the old name attached costs nothing and protects every inbound lead the SDR team works.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Keeping the old name slows the new brand

      Drop the "formerly" line after 12 months or when brand clicks recover.

    Send the sequence to 50 debt-only customers and count meetings.

    Why it works

    A two-touch sequence to every customer with one product: "Same team, same contract, new name, and here is what Monetary now does with your cash and investments." Offer a 20-minute cash position review using their own bank file.

    Customers already trust the support team (99% satisfaction), so the cash and investment pitch starts from goodwill; the rebrand gives a natural, non-salesy reason to reach out this month.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Customers read it as an upsell push

      Lead with "nothing changes for you" and the support contacts.

    Evidence

    Publish the Kyriba page first and track demo requests.

    Why it works

    Build /compare/ pages for Kyriba, GTreasury, spreadsheets and ERP modules, with a table on what public finance needs: bond debt service, GASB 87 and 96, board-approved investment policies, multiple depositories, EMMA disclosures and public procurement. The Solutions Engineer checks each row against the demo.

    Buyers in procurement need a written comparison for their evaluation memo; the Solutions Engineer already answers these questions on every call.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Competitor claims go stale

      Date the table and link each source.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteBlog: about 276 posts and 252 release notes; recent posts include "Kyriba alternatives: we evaluated 6, here's our pick", "GTreasury competitors and alternatives", a check fraud guide, "what system is protecting your public funds from fraud" and a private business use calculator walkthrough.Source

    Every product on the pricing page ends in "Get a custom quote", and the AEs are hired to "navigate procurement". In government the person who blocks a deal is often purchasing, not the treasurer, and the page gives them nothing.

    Send the page in the next five proposals and ask purchasing what was missing.

    Why it works

    A procurement page with what a purchasing officer needs: cooperative and piggyback contract options, existing public contracts other entities can reference, sole-source justification template, SOC 1 and SOC 2 request form, insurance certificate, W-9, accessibility statement, sample MSA and the implementation timeline.

    Shortening procurement shortens the whole sales cycle, and the documents already exist across the legal and security pages.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Piggyback rules vary by state

      Have counsel review which contracts can be referenced and where.

    Evidence

    • Your websitePricing page: no list prices, "Get a custom quote" for each product; Leases & Subscriptions has a Starter package (up to 15 agreements, 2 users) and Complete; "No free trials"; no mention of cooperative purchasing contracts.Source

    For each event, pull the attendee or member list where available, match it to Salesforce, and send a three-touch invite to book 20 minutes at the booth with a state-specific hook (a peer customer in the same state, a state reporting deadline).

    Pre-booked meetings turn a booth into a calendar of qualified conversations instead of scanned badges.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Attendee lists are not shared

      Use the association member directory and last year's attendees instead.

    Evidence

    Send the screen by hand to ten issuers and count replies.

    Why it works

    A sign-up where an issuer enters its name and gets a monthly email of its outstanding callable bonds and an estimated present-value savings range, with a link to talk to the team. Built from public data the Quantitative Strategy Group already licenses.

    It gives the SDR a reason to call that is about the prospect's money, and it puts the new Markets data to work on both sides of the market.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Looks like municipal advice

      Show ranges, not recommendations, and keep the regulatory disclaimer on every email.

    • Advisors see it as competition

    Sign two regional advisory firms and run one joint webinar.

    Why it works

    A formal program for municipal advisors and bond counsel: shared client workspaces, a referral fee or co-sourcing package, joint webinars, and a partner page listing them by state.

    Advisors sit in every debt issuance and know when a client is struggling with schedules or disclosure; one advisor can bring several issuers.

    Risks and how to handle them

    Why it works

    Segment prospects by fiscal year end, then send the lease and subscription checklist, the embedded lease worksheet and an audit-prep webinar invitation eight weeks before their audit. Offer the Starter package for small entities.

    The same message lands far better eight weeks before an audit than at a random time of year.

    Why it works

    Recruit 15 debt customers into a cohort with a clear promise (an accurate cash position every morning before 10am), report progress monthly, and publish each customer's before and after as they go live.

    Publicly measured early results give Sales proof for a new product, and customers like being named first.

    Benchmarks get quoted by press and associations, earn links, and give the Account Manager a reason to meet every customer once a year.

    A regulatory deadline is the strongest buying reason in public finance, and Monetary already holds the data most issuers would have to assemble by hand.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • The rule timeline slips

      Build the mapping so it also serves disclosure and annual reporting.

    Evidence

    • Your websitePage sitemap: 101 pages including 7 vertical pages, 3 role pages, GASB 87/96 pages, nine checklists, an incremental borrowing rate template, an embedded lease worksheet, two FDTA (Financial Data Transparency Act) pages and legacy /debtbook/ pages; no comparison pages and no state pages.Source

    • HiringSenior Product Manager, Cash & Payments: bank connectivity (aggregators, direct feeds, BAI2, CSV, ISO 20022), reconciliation, cash positioning for "a treasurer who needs an accurate cash position before 10am", payment controls including positive pay; runs early adopter programs and sets positioning, packaging and pricing inputs with GTM.Source

    Smallest test

    Let one advisor send a refunding book to three issuers.

    Why it works

    A shared workspace where an advisor can send an issuer a structuring scenario or refunding book that opens in Monetary, with a free issuer view of their own debt; issuers who use it are TMS leads.

    It makes each side of the market a channel to the other, which no corporate treasury competitor can copy.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Advisors fear disintermediation

      Advisors own the shared workspace and see what issuers do with it.

    Evidence

    Join one state contract first and track its use.

    Why it works

    Respond to the next solicitations from the national cooperatives used by local governments and universities, then put the contract on the "How to buy" page and in every SDR email.

    Removing the RFP step can cut months from a mid-market deal and opens buyers who cannot run an RFP for a small purchase.

    Risks and how to handle them

    Evidence

    Run it for internal SDR use before opening it publicly.

    Why it works

    A public page where a visitor types an issuer name and asks Marty questions answered only from public disclosures and market data (outstanding debt, maturities, call dates), with sources shown and a prompt to see the same on their own data.

    It shows traceable AI on real public data, which is the hardest claim for an AI analyst to prove in a sales deck.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • A wrong public answer

      Narrow scope, sources shown, and a feedback button.

    A vacancy is a moment of pain and budget review, and the Florence County quote about transitions is the proof.

The research behind the plan

3 research areas, each summarised in a few lines. Open any of them for the full detail.

Customers

What customers say

Customers value pulling debt data in minutes instead of hours. The most cited problem: GASB 87 and 96 compliance work.

  • Schedules and journal entries in one click
  • Data spread across spreadsheets, banks and advisors
  • In their words: “single source of truth”

Market

Competitive landscape

4 competitors compared: Kyriba, GTreasury, ERP modules and Spreadsheets.

  • Gap to exploit: Treasury software designed for public finance rules
  • Kyriba: Not built for bonds, GASB and public procurement
  • GTreasury: Less public debt depth

Hiring signals

Monetary has 11 open roles in Charlotte and five are sales: Enterprise AE, Mid-Market AE, Mid-Market Account Manager, SDR and Solutions Engineer.

  • Enterprise Account Executive: Enterprise public sector new logos with marketing, SDR and partnerships; procurement is part of the job. Ideas 4, 8…
