  • Smart deals Pricing Framework & Sales Cycle Optimization:
  • ◦ Designed and delivered an Unbundled Quick Quote framework enabling dynamic combination of standalone and bundled pricing policies, supporting 8+ rate card configurations across multiple product lines (Branded Wallet, ACDC, Virtual Terminal, DCC) to ensure eligible policy availability for 100% of product combination searches by Sales Representatives.
  • ◦ Engineered a real-time policy matching algorithm with nearest and farthest TOV/TPV logic, reducing manual pricing lookups and targeting a measurable reduction in sales cycle time for Inside Sales deals routed through the Smart deals flow.
