NetCents Technology sees a surge in new partner sign-ups and leads

NetCents Technology Inc (CSE:NC) (FRA:26N) (OTCQB:NTTCF), a cryptocurrency payments company, revealed on Thursday that it has fielded a surge in new partner sign-ups and leads over the last two months. The Vancouver-based company said it has been flooded with, on average, 10-to-15 new partner leads a week over the past 60 days, with a close rate of 30% over the 60-day period, rising to 40% over the month of March. NetCents said that as it works on closing existing and new incoming partnership leads, with an average lead to close time of 30-to-40 days, it expects to increase “the lead to close rate.” The company chalked up the rising demand and partnership gains to the company’s “omnichannel marketing, existing partner referrals, organic inquires, and increased interest in cryptocurrency within the traditional payment industry.” READ: NetCents reports cryptocurrency transaction volume exceeds $10.8M in first half of March "In my three decades in the payments industry, I have never seen such huge demand for a product. Cryptocurrency, and the processing of payments in those currencies, is no longer something for the future," Patrick Albright, senior vice president of strategic development at NetCents, said in a statement. "It is now necessary to have the ability to handle consumers' increased demand for cryptocurrency transactions. North American partners and merchants are now seeing what the rest of the world has already been witnessing. Crypto payments are here to stay and will become an increasing part of a successful payment strategy." NetCents said it is in the process of “tripling the size of its partner sales and account management team” to follow up on the wave of leads, sign-ups, and manage signed partner accounts. In addition, the company said it will be automating the initial sign-up and onboarding process for new partners allowing it to focus on high-value partnerships.
