Operator

with the line question first And Arjun your Instructions] Bhatia Blair. William comes of [Operator from

Arjun Bhatia

great that in increased great the out cross-sell one stuck better? SaaS trying to sequentially of base, if to congrats to that proposition noticed to think is problem legacy first anything going thank off landing was couple I organic love how a years. the it then to the time for whether guys client change SaaS that customers would quarters? changed the you've with in And of acceleration. and the the little that SaaS see little in things Yes, value on and point built customer that all you've you out you've last the the me results, Joe, terms product, acquisition to in are there communicate able couple hear terms you from to product would the they're bit versus base a as the I much, very how shifted over has marketing has a bit of of of the solve any been at you

Joe Walsh

let's question, Arjun, with start the Absolutely, the first problem.

businesses You it the tools big their were warm it. point could problems. came to know, some cloud to they fairly this they to great that narrow all-in-one did we thing beginning solutions here, were we to buying just with our with along all. And use arguably And that with up Small approach. idea early solve were experiment

back hours that little definitely it store out happening they need the into so when the -- that the able business buying ago, of telling offerings, realization your our is, lot able go a a and your had now. that. businesses their to we what's I them improve grasping need Think the those and to of A But to be that things you run protocols, able I that, how about honest telling we came do advertising and to sharp your contact-less two last or be years to you experience. their that customers be that reacted were were year. And about customers And accept do company. work really over not was change. instantly, marketing. And to if say software, would their remotely, be payment, a you to drove All I'm everybody thinking on to the of to with we demand. lot they're update to to out need do software, they lot takes work safety we of big were to able client pandemic, service And the internet to buying adapting run the move I that figure small focus. as was bit. really entire stuff really I to guess they're now, three it and try remote lot operation honestly, think, to it them have increasingly But it software

better the we is too Maybe offer. that is coming think think but now the what day. it And for feeling I wave the ready were really have so fit way. is to think we I And really we're every I early, now, market and that

its more As several was services channels leads leads Thryv software more with down far services had they steady demos scale is with back astute. very were marketing are to to -- of more as building a lot working our got do coming inbound top, we that every every if demos down add We add that as coming would more inbound the a through traditional question channel source funnel making customers. we to was set, with get now month. it sales a of recently we years sales, really What's that month. rounds FDRs, more We, we from marketing the your And startup the ago, closes. the [FDRs] numbers channel the an we we and force companies go customers, down have; I seen [Ph], these coming in is definitely to traditional of through through uptake. to is And all happened and there offering those sales

numbers there, we're do right. mass, it. it's at piece So really and holding we it. better just of the each well, scaling hit And getting are we're up We're what

the here scaling the of subscribers. that with continue. probably adding that's been that we predictability primary have on driver so, And And more

we've professionalizing franchise channel. an long-term, channel that's to franchise that designed with really eight that's the reseller reseller emerging a we've to And and adding do We've out these then, for for on to another been said how resellers steadily and now excited we We about, the one the of run as facilitate us, have franchise we beginning three-year that. is begun our some what and to kind cylinders, that escalators if cylinders, build. And we're -- typically -- they're four reseller holy of technology that's ask Additionally, Hub And that six there, we're months, got tuning, they call that we experts six channel, was customers, really of we've of multi-location and coming franchises, coming that And just out it's we're some figured getting building you, eight something but on and really together you of in get you incredible grow. again we're tell channel, probably this out. with working I'll and is we're me master know, and signing this starting that's volume or large we're of out contracts in that and fit. franchise, with channel built of Thryv the the grail for business. sort we're installed

are from new those channels the So, at is of big volume moment. this a part where driven

Arjun Bhatia

color helpful very helpful, very that's there. Thank Perfect, you.

is just the getting prepared of your remember if might using think can us the in if the it integrate help example, understand you correctly, the broadly, Masters, had one of other it they in of you at mentioned ThryvPay I the to Stripe what switched and partners else versus market? just with, customer you over more things or in I wrong, benefits even Stripe Tree versus believe that I ThryvPay, differentiates ThryvPay of look are be or One was what but the specifically from Square that name you or how remarks, I

Joe Walsh

company. especially for been businesses. our designed stock That's been our we our trade. life and of service-based for So, They've customers the ThryvPay our

usual And we where money. they the pretty close instantly on had asked to and and and Stripe were they perfect onto pretty Square payments, the on the we suspects "What stood we're focused and put together a payment getting We knowing and on we pretty platform, on relationship put into would have basically something try with them, on initially dialog them. our we them, asked solution?" designs fees, be so, And and focused the

him customers, lot So, Square, anyway switching finding have as other Ryan been with them I've to from we the are ours. tools Cantor today, calling and these of a of one I'm us or And of Stripe some on using thing, Ryan, like versus to Ryan the pick has closely payments about make the few been of ThryvPay a I'd working comments can others. advantages really that the up? let you

Ryan Cantor

I Thank you. can, Sure, Joe.

So, of obviously, are volume, And high-dollar that types low-transaction a specific but in of specific these features any benefits product. businesses amounts. and set requires

So, And we that launched accept size for transaction electronic charge example, transaction that about key average a payments. service were ACH $X,XXX, to have the the of ability to bank larger think that may you to if business person if provider, X% more credit paying a even they per X% be that charge could ThryvPay, another into a we fee service ACH particular transaction. three to inside But on or up our maximum payment. of of with $X card than

using is savings are by ThryvPay. $XX saving per to the $XX cases, transaction pretty people some So, clear. in And

month plans, We businesses payments, configurations $XX. their have that in installment payments, of to not features also the would but scheduled allow the someone where like of manage use on show the come you types cash payments, service first case might the a added kind reoccurring month, really all predictable We manner. expect, just that every repeating of help for payment flow charging average scheduled

of adoption, of types high amounts these couple transaction keenly focused so, you And products, for the a really that of kind find supporting and businesses. high-dollar on together and bundle into we're kind of when all we features of

these So, biggest with that's processing larger is them features. and fees our more focus help ticket affordable process items to

Arjun Bhatia

are cross-sell one to little in the Sensis good SaaS the top the that numbers? XXXX Understood, on Obviously, in something the last is into from thank into the me, you.
