Beware of strangers selling credit card readers
Tired of strangers trying to sell you credit card processing services? It would be pretty crazy to trust a critical business operating process to someone who you’ve never met, and will probably never see again. Next time the phone rings, tell the telemarketer that you’re working with Focus Financial owner Bruce Reisman, an industry veteran with over 20 years of payment processing experience. We’ll evaluate, recommend, install, and service everything. If you every have a question, just call Bruce.
Here are a few tips based on our 20+ years of local payment processing experience:
- You don’t need to lock into a long-term contract to get the best solution and dates.
- Never agree to a solution or contract with a termination fee. You should be free to make changes as your business grows.
- One size (or shape) doesn’t fit all. There are many options that offer lower rates based on revenue, transactions, and card mix.
- Always have a backup, even if it’s just a mobile phone solution. It’s the cheapest “insurance” available!
Focus Financial case study
The owner of a successful Atlanta mid-priced restaurant chain had always been adamant about cash-only sales. Customers often had to stop at near-by ATM machines to get cash, paying extra fees before visiting the restaurant locations. Focus Financial implemented a test program allowing the restaurant chain owner to accept credit cards in one location. The result – average ticket increased from $7 to $17 (142% improvement) with transaction fees much lower than the local banks or big advertising brands. The owner quickly implemented credit card payment options across all locations!
