When negotiating contracts with payment providers, how can you identify and manage conflicts of interest?
One of my auto repair shop customers was paying about $3,000 /month in processing fees. They trusted me when I encouraged them to implement the Cash Discount Program (Dual Pricing). After a few months of getting used to the new program, they are paying only $35 /month. That’s enough savings to hire another employee. Needless to say they are very happy and they enjoy their new point of sale terminal.

When negotiating contracts with payment providers, how can you identify and manage conflicts of interest?
In the early stages of my payment processing career in 2015, I was unaware of some processing companies’ faulty reputation, weaknesses, greed , and poor compensation agreement. Through my 8 years in this business, I have researched processing companies and found that great customer service and tech support are essential. My customers value how I provide excellent payment solutions, low or no processing costs, and my being very available to them when they need me. After all, I am their partner in cash flow.

How can you develop a personal brand when seeking a promotion in Payment Systems?
Offer something that nobody else offers. An example of this as our Fraud and Theft (F&T) program that refunds a merchant when they lose money due to stolen or fraudulent cash (that's right - counterfeit cash), checks, credit or debit cards.

Mr.Naren K Gursahaney
President and CEO
ADT
Dear Mr.Gursahaney:
I am a new customer of ADT and wanted to let you know how impressed I was with the service of several of your employees.
Customers usually do not take the time to write about good experiences, but often call or write when there are complaints.
... Additionally, Mr. Arthur Stameris, your residential security consultant, took the time to be present during the initial installation, and was kind enough to follow up with several phone calls to ensure I was satisfied, and the system was operating correctly.
I trust these gentlemen will receive the appropriate responses from your office and/or human resources department.
Cordially
Dr. David Kaplan

Art has become a real cold calling machine by visiting his PNO sites, doing his Customer 1 visits and then clover leafing the neighborhoods. Through these efforts he almost always comes away with a few names and phone numbers if not an appointment to take over a competitor system which is how he got his sale today.
