Accepting credit cards is second nature for most businesses and we’ve become so used to taking the cards, that we sometimes forget that they are most certainly NOT the same as cash. Here are a few reminders: Credit cards cost more to take than cash- so if you can get your customers to pay with cash GO FOR IT! (strange advice from a credit card processor but the right advice for any business) Stay within your approved limits- accepting credit cards for more than you were approved for can cause problems with your cash flow. Processing substantially more than your annual approved volume can also cause problems. While we cannot speak to how other processing companies handle volume variances, we can give you advice based on how we

When you travel abroad, it wakes you up to the many advantages we have here in the United States of America! I was thinking of a 9 day trip out of the country and was touched, once again, by the overwhelming gratitude and joy of the Fijian people! They sing, dance, smile and are always quick with a greeting (BULA!), no matter what they are doing.

Take a few moments to Meet Our Team and NO- you can’t have them . Working with individuals who dig in each day and literally LOOK for ways to under promise and over deliver is just part of an AND THEN SOME mentality.

This past week we made the decision to close our office for a day and have our team attend the Live2Lead simulcast put on by John Maxwell. The event itself was a huge success however determining what the return on investment (ROI) was will be more difficult! With a product or service, the ROI is easy to calculate. You spent X number of dollars on a product, which resulted in increased sales or productivity. Comparing the sales numbers or productivity before and after the purchase of the product will give you your ROI and all of your number crunchers are happy. With staff training, it is much more difficult to calculate the true ROI. How do you know if your investment paid off? How long do you wait
