The Top 10 Reasons to Sell Credit Card Processing

Good Friday morning everyone. I have been selling merchant services processing for a while and I love it!  Below is this Friday’s Top 10 list of reasons to sell credit card processing.
A sales career in merchant services can be a great business opportunity for those who want a lucrative career based on finance, availability and the opportunity to sell to so many businesses.These ten reasons will go a little more in depth and detail about the rewards that you can bring home with a career in merchant service sales.

10.  Meeting the most interesting and influential people your community.

9.  Explaining why almost all of equipment leases are a bad deal for the merchant.

8.  Hearing a merchant say, “So…what’s the catch?” when you offer your pricing and free equipment.

7. Always changing. The Industry is Built On Change  The merchant services business is founded on innovation. As financial options change so does the business of merchant services.

6. Getting a bonus when you sign a deal and a residual check at the end each month.

5. Hearing sales people from other industries say, “You get residual and up front money?” Uh, Yeah!

4. Walking into a business with no connections and closing a deal on the spot! This is tough to do but, if you can do it, Don’t try this on every one and don’t try it until you know what you are doing!

3. Doing a big deal. When you close a multi location business or one with over $100K in monthly volume it will feel like quite the accomplishment.

2. Answering the phone at 10pm for a customer and having them say, “I was going to leave you a message, I can’t believe you picked up!”  Customer service is big in this industry.

1. The Prospect Pool. So you already know that the prospect pool is one that’s essentially never-ending. Businesses that accept payments are everywhere. With this idea comes many different benefits for a merchant services salesperson. Because the customer pool is virtually endless, this means you have absolute financial and job security. Merchant services are to the world of business as food and water are to your everyday life – absolutely necessary. Perhaps I should trademark that last statement.
