A friend of mine wrote the article that your Merchant Services Rep doesn't want you to read. If you're a Photographer--or any other business person--getting paid for your work, and you accept credit/debit card payments, today's conversation is extremely important for you.
She is Darrah Brustein, Co-Founder of Equitable Payments. In an industry known for confusing/ofttimes shady/sometimes deceptive sales practices, Darrah is on a mission to help you know how to negotiate a fair deal.
Her article first appeared on Entrepreneur.com. Click the link to her article, and you'll have the notes to our conversation. Then share the article, and this conversation, with a friend who has ever been frustrated with their Merchant Services provider.
Enjoy this conversation is you've ever wondered:
- How do I find the right Merchant Services Provider?
- What fees are ridiculous and should be waived?
- How can I tell if my Rep really knows what he/she is doing?
- What are the questions I should be asking?
- How can I make sense of the pricing model "shell game?"
- When is it best for me to break my contract and go elsewhere?
"Why post this conversation on The PhotoTellers?" you may ask.
