From Entrepreneur to an Enterprise—June 9

2:00 - 2:45 p.m. Getting the best deal on payment processing Jon Kuhlmann,
President, Grapevinehill.com Steve Mott,
Principal, BetterBuyDesign Many small and mid-sized retailers believe they are at the mercy of the card companies when it comes to discounts and fees for accepting credit cards. But that is not true. Small and mid-sized retailers who possess a track record of low fraud and low chargebacks can qualify for lower rates from card companies. In addition, the payment processing marketing is becoming more competitive as PayPal and Google offer payment and checkout services and a number of alternative payment providers coming into the market. This session will provide retailers with tips on how to shop for the best payment services, compare offers, negotiate lower rates and analyze alternatives to credit cards. Our speakers are a payments consultant who will explain to attendees how to analyze card deals and a small retailer who has negotiated favorable terms with payment processors. |
