Let’s Talk
THE CHALLENGE:
Inactivity, Onboarding Delays, Revenue Leakage
High Volume of Dormant MerchantsA significant number of onboarded merchants had become inactive, impacting overall revenue potential.
Lack of Targeted Reactivation StrategyNo structured outreach process existed to re-engage inactive or low-performing merchants.
Delayed Merchant Activation TimelinesInefficiencies in onboarding and follow-ups led to slower activation and engagement rates.
Limited Engagement Across ChannelsAbsence of a multichannel communication setup resulted in low visibility and reduced response from dormant partners.
Declining Revenue from Inactive Merchant BaseInactivity among merchants directly affected top-line growth and overall platform utilization.
Reactivation, Outreach, Engagement
To address the growing number of inactive merchants, 1Point1 implemented a structured and data-driven merchant reactivation program. The solution involved setting up a dedicated outreach team trained to handle merchant queries, objections, and re-engagement via multilingual, omnichannel communication. By combining personalized calling strategies with real-time tracking and feedback mechanisms, 1Point1 ensured that dormant merchants were not only contacted but effectively guided back into active usage. The team also optimized the onboarding-to-activation journey, reducing delays and improving merchant responsiveness. This holistic approach helped drive measurable improvements in engagement, transaction activity, and overall revenue contribution.
How 1Point1 Helped

1Point1 delivered a comprehensive and result-oriented solution that fundamentally transformed the client’s dormant merchant segment into a revenue-generating engine. By deploying a dedicated outreach team trained in objection handling, persuasive communication, and multilingual engagement, they launched a structured reactivation program that brought precision and scale to the client’s partner engagement efforts.

Using an omnichannel approach—including voice calls, emails, and localized language support—1Point1 was able to reach merchants who had previously disengaged from the platform. These efforts led to a substantial increase in reactivation success rates, with a notable uplift in daily transaction activity from previously inactive users. The team also worked closely with the client to refine onboarding processes, shortening the time between merchant registration and activation.

Through consistent follow-ups, performance tracking, and personalized engagement, 1Point1 not only improved merchant responsiveness but also enhanced the long-term retention potential of the activated accounts. As a result, the client saw a measurable increase in revenue, better utilization of the existing merchant base, and improved customer lifecycle performance. The project demonstrated how a strategic, human-centric BPO model could unlock untapped value from within an existing ecosystem—delivering both operational impact and business growth.

More about the business solution

To drive sustainable merchant reactivation and long-term revenue impact, 1Point1 designed a comprehensive business solution that went beyond traditional outreach. The engagement model was built around a data-driven, human-assisted strategy that identified inactive merchants, segmented them based on activity level, and tailored communication accordingly.

A dedicated outreach team was deployed with the right skill sets—language proficiency, industry know-how, and persuasion techniques—to connect meaningfully with dormant merchants. This team was supported by a centralized reporting and analytics framework, which allowed for real-time tracking of contactability, responsiveness, and conversion rates. By integrating automation with personalized human interaction, 1Point1 ensured timely follow-ups, minimized drop-offs, and improved first-call resolution.

The solution also included process redesign for onboarding and activation, ensuring that once a dormant merchant was re-engaged, they were guided swiftly and seamlessly back into the transaction funnel. This full-lifecycle approach—from identification and outreach to reactivation and support—made the solution scalable, repeatable, and results-focused. It allowed the client to not only revive a previously underperforming segment but also strengthen its merchant relationship management capability for future growth.
