Payoneer: $205 Per Closed Deal. 44 Accounts Signed in 3 Months.
How an embedded SDR pod in Payoneer's Pakistan corridor booked 111 meetings, ran 72 demos, and closed 44 accounts, including $800K+/month volume fleets
The Situation
A clear growth target, no outbound infrastructure, and no time to build one
Coverage Gap, Not a Demand Gap
Payoneer had a clear target: acquire new business accounts across Pakistan's digital services market. The demand existed. The coverage didn't.
No In-Market SDR Team
There was no outbound infrastructure in-corridor. No SDR team, no sourced lead pipeline, no call operation.
Quarter-Long Internal Ramp
Building that internally would have burned an entire quarter just on recruiting and ramp before a single call was made.
Fragmented ICP
The addressable market spanned digital agencies, IT services firms, BPOs, and freelancers handling cross-border payments, each with different qualification signals.
No Pipeline-to-Product Handoff
Without an embedded motion, outbound conversations would feel disconnected from the Payoneer brand experience, hurting conversion at the handoff.
Weeks, Not Months
Payoneer needed pipeline producing results within weeks, not quarters.
What Phi Built
An embedded SDR pod operating under the Payoneer brand, live from week one
Embedded Under the Payoneer Brand
The pod operated under the Payoneer brand. Prospects never knew they were talking to a Phi rep. That's the point: when outbound feels like an internal team, there's no disconnect between the first conversation and the product experience.
2 Dedicated SDRs
Each SDR contacting approximately 100 leads per day, ~200 combined daily touches across the pod.
GTM Manager on Live QA
A GTM Manager ran QA on every call, flagged what was converting, and surfaced objection patterns in real time.
Lead Sourcing Layer
1,000+ verified contacts sourced per month, every contact enriched and validated against qualification criteria before a single call was made.
ICP Targeting, Sharpened Weekly
Digital services companies with cross-border transaction volumes of $10K+/month. Weekly pipeline reviews with Payoneer's sales leadership refined the ICP as the data came in.
Live From Day One
No 90-day ramp. Phi showed up with lead sourcing, call frameworks, QA workflows, and reporting infrastructure already built. Pipeline started moving in week one.
Volume Met Precision
Not spray-and-pray. Every contact was validated against qualification criteria before outreach, so the ~200 daily touches landed on high-fit accounts.
What the Pipeline Actually Produced
A pod that signed accounts most internal SDR teams would take 6-12 months to close
