Last week we fielded TONS of phone calls regarding the Fraud Liability Shift and terminals. Here are a few things to consider this week! You are NOT out of ‘compliance’ just because you do not have an EMV reading terminal! You can decide when you upgrade and you do not have to be RUSHED. Some industries have higher ‘Liability Shift’ risks than others. Some industries do not have EMV solutions that can be used yet (the platforms are busily working!) BEWARE of terminal pricing on the internet! We had a merchant call us because they bought their new terminal online and guess what: it was not able to handle EMV or NFC. Our team is available to answer a Liability Shift, Terminal, EMV or NFC questions! 1-888-249-9919 Cheri

No other promotional medium can deliver thousands of high quality sales opportunities in just a few days. There are lots of benefits for attending trade shows, industry related events and educational workshops. Consider adding an ‘out of the office’ experience for you and your team! We’ve listed some of the major benefits below. Sales – via a targeted audience of qualified buyers at specialized industry events who have come to see you.

When you own a company, there are lots of pressures and responsibilities that come with the Leadership role. So when moments come that highlight the benefits of leadership; they are truly worthy of sharing! Ongoing training and continued education is critically important for any growing business and I’m often amazed at how much I learn from the members of my team during our training sessions. While I am the leader, seeing the personal leadership developing in each member of my team is rewarding beyond words. As we worked together discussing and learning the benefits of Personal Responsibility, I sat and learned from my team. The willingness to share openly and honestly with their TMC family was, in a word, BEAUTIFUL. Listening to the wisdom and stories of each

Each Friday, our team spends some good, quality time together learning about elevated service techniques, personal development and the latest happenings in our industry. We find that investing in this TEAM time really makes a difference for each person on an individual basis as well as for the TMC team overall.
