Dreams Do Come True! You Can Build A Company That Can Be
Different.
Do you ever wonder whether your dreams will come true? Our
dreams are coming true! Bryan, my partner, and I have
envisioned, dreamed, believed and worked towards having a
company that brings full solutions to the merchants and
companies that we serve and work with.
What does it take for your dreams to come true? It takes holding
on to the vision, and believing in the dream, and a lot of hard
work. It takes others, like our family members to see what we
see, and if they don't, believe in us anyway. Your dreams of a
different business can be a reality.
If you were to ask me 18 months ago, if we were to ever have our
own company, I would have told you that you were crazy. It
really wasn't even part of my thinking. After being involved in
sales and in the merchant service industry, we began to see a
need, one that required integrity, quality service, and being
much different than others. I've always been told if you see a
need, you need to try to fill it. We saw and believed that we
could make a difference in the marketplace. So we decided to
make the plunge and be different.
Make your company different. How? Different companies think
outside the box. Kevin & Jackie Freiberg in their book Guts!,
talk about "companies that blow the doors off
business-as-usual." Recently I was asked what made us different
besides our emphasis on integrity and service. My response was
how we really treat our clients and our employees/agents. You
see, many companies don't walk their talk. We have always
discovered that actions speak louder than words. We also wanted
to be different in another way.
It's easy to do just one thing, and some people tell you that to
do it right, you need to focus on one thing only. In the
Merchant Services industry, credit card processing is a very
important life blood for merchants and companies today. If you
don't provide it, you should, because more customers will buy
from you. (National statistics claim up to 30% more income once
you start taking credit cards.) Some sales people and companies
only focus on that however.
But we believed that a company should really focus on the
complete financial needs of merchants and companies. That's why
our company not only provides credit card processing, but
includes business & retail check solutions, ATM sales, wireless
credit card usage, Mail Order/Telephone Order options and
internet eCommerce, including web site design/consultation.
Be solution oriented. Can companies do too many things? No! We
have discovered that merchants and companies need a full range
of financial options to affect and grow their bottom line. The
people we deal with have appreciated that we have been able to
provide options they had never considered before. There's a
company that we approached for credit card processing, but very
soon discovered instead that they needed accounts receivable
conversion and in house recurring billing, and the results saved
them hundreds of dollars every month.
Then there's the company that needed not only credit card
processing, but an e-Commerce store and a unique web site and we
were able to provide the entire solution without the owner
having to outsource to several companies, saving him thousands
of dollars.
You see, no matter what business you're in, it's all about
providing additional value. It's all about giving service. It's
all about sharing solutions. And, doing all things with
Integrity, Service and being Different from the norm.
Do dreams come true? Well, let me tell you that they can come
true! Yes, and they can come true for you! Dare to dream and
dare to be different.
