11 Biggest Mistakes Sales Professionals Make in Their Presentations by Guest Author: Patricia Fripp

Like Hollywood actors, sales professionals put themselves and their companies on the line with every word, taking a risk in the hope of a favorable outcome. Just like actors, even the best, most experienced sales professional benefits from some scrip review, rehearsal, and coaching. Here are the 11 most common mistakes that I see on the sales stage and what you can do to avoid them: Unclear Thinking. Want clarity? Imagine that a busy executive says, “You have exactly ten minutes to tell me what you want me to know about your company.” At any stage of the sales process, you should know in advance what your prospect is really asking. The real question is, “What do I need to know about how your company can improve our company? Will… Read More.

Bookkeeping with Ian Johnston- More than Just Money

Are you allowing your finances to grow or just keep you afloat? We all know the importance of knowing how our money is being used, whether in personal life or in business.

Working with a Licensed Credit Card Sales Office vs Working with a Broker Sales Office

In the world of credit card processing, it can be overwhelming and hard to find the best processing choices for your business. No matter if you’re searching for a processor for the first time or re-evaluating your current processor, here are some differences in working with a licensed credit card sales office versus broker sales office: Using a licensed sales office: Licensed offices will find you the processing company with best pricing and best point of sale or gateway with unbiased motives. They have the ability to waive unnecessary fees not charged by Visa and Master Card. Using a broker: Brokers find the best deal that pays the broker the most. The mentality is to make the most money so, often times, they search for the deal that favors… Read More.

Why Do Other Credit Card Processors Lock You in Contract Jail?

Why do most companies lock you in contract jail? It’s simple: 1. When signing a contract, you are stuck with them for the length of the contract and they do NOT have to tell you when they raise your rates. A contract does NOT guarantee your rates will remain the same as at signing. 2. There are cancellation and termination fees. These can range from a flat fee of $250-$22,000 (yes, you read that correct)! Sometimes the termination fee is the percentage of profit they think they would have made had you stayed the length of your contract. This can be a ton of money! 3. Overtime, they know you might want to get out of your contract and they don’t want you to do that! Hence #2… Why… Read More.

Five Things to watch out for with your current credit card processor

1. Dishonesty Have you been promised a certain processing rate yet when receiving your statement; they are higher than you were promised? Also, additional fee’s you weren’t aware of. Most credit card processing companies focus and sell you on a low rate without explaining what will happen after a transaction. These extra hidden fees can sometimes be in the range of $50-$100 monthly and even more. 2. Bait and Switch Your current processor may lower your rates on the signing or when asked to explain or compare rates, but do not have to notify you when they raise your rates again which usually happens shortly after lowering. 3. No Customer Support Do you have a consistent and supportive relationship with the agent you signed up with? Probably not. It is… Read More.
