Great advice. Always keep track of whom you have contacted and follow up with them. Sometimes a "no" now can also be a yes in the future. I agree with you with having a pipeline going for the future too.

Hello everyone. My name is Brian Cooper, my bride and I own Proverbs Payments. We used to work for two seperate merchant service companies and were competitors. We met at a Pizza Expo in Vegas and the rest is history. We created Proverbs Payments and left our other companies after 20 years. We offer wholesale merchant services to all types of industries. Small to large businesses we strive to offer lower rates to keep money in your business instead of paying high merchant service fees. We do have all types of payment tools such as terminals, mobile, Point of Sales systems, virtual terminals, Quickbook integration, ecommerce, shopping carts and tap to pay on your smart phones. We would love to connect and network with you. We are nationwide and work with thousands of businesses nationwide so we love to refer business over to our partners. Our biggest hurdle is contantly finding ways to get new business. We have sales teams that we have to be creative to help them find ways to get new business. Door to door is getting harder with NO SOLICITING signs everywhere. Cold calling is harder since the robo calls are bugging people so much, people get frustrated with any calls or dont answer anymore. Email marketing works but not as good as it used to and you have to be careful not to get spammed. Networking groups and BNI groups can work if you actually work the groups you go to. We are looking to learn other ways people are getting creative to capture the attention of potential new business. We are looking forward to meeting everyone and networking with you.
