Project Objective
To design and deploy a systematic outbound lead generation engine aimed at acquiring PSPs, neobanks, and crypto projects in Europe and the UK, and to ensure a stable flow of qualified B2B leads for the ItisPay sales team.
Engagement Model
End-to-end cold email outreach: strategy development, infrastructure setup, custom databases, segmentation, and controlled scaling.
Scope of Work
The project began with strategy development and ICP definition. Core segments were identified as follows:
- PSPs and payment providers
- Neobanks and fintech startups
- Crypto / Web3 projects
- Companies with relevant regulatory and product signals
A separate workstream focused on collecting participants of industry-specific payments and crypto conferences, followed by targeted outreach.
Strong emphasis was placed on data quality. The project relied on custom-built databases with precise industry segmentation, combining manual research and AI-driven company discovery, followed by enrichment with decision-maker contacts (Founders, CEOs, CFOs, CTOs, CIOs, BDMs, Payments leads).
Additional custom signals were applied, including licensing status, operating geography, growth stage, product updates, and market expansion indicators.
Prior to scaling, a full technical preparation of the outreach infrastructure was completed: domain selection and configuration, mailbox creation and warm-up, deliverability setup, and the development and testing of email sequences.
Campaigns were executed strictly by segment. Each segment used dedicated email sequences with tailored personalization, sending schedules, and touchpoint logic aligned with company type and decision-maker role. Scaling was performed gradually, without degradation in reply quality or dialogue depth.
- ResultsAverage reply rate: 3.37% at scale
- 15–20+ qualified leads per month generated on a consistent basis
Conclusion
The ItisPay project demonstrates that cold B2B outreach—when supported by precise segmentation, custom-built databases, and properly engineered infrastructure—can deliver a stable pipeline of relevant leads in the fintech and crypto payments domain across Europe and the UK.
