Our ongoing up-market move in the mid-market segment has led to a new ICP and a more structured Sales approach: from transactional to value-based selling, longer / more complex sales cycles, change in our channel mix and higher relevance of sales methodologies & processes.

- Three co-existing acquisition channels: Outbound, Inbound and Partnerships

- Three co-existing products: Treasury, Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable

- Very different prospect profiles (& sales cycles) between mid-market and smaller companies

- Several KPIs in parallel: MRR, Cash in, one-off revenues, etc.
