I’d like to tell you about the Real Referral Chapter of BNI that meets in Schaumburg every Thursday at 7:30AM. I’ve been to other networking groups and usually they are composed of the wrong variety of businesses. I really enjoy Real Referrals and it has been profitable to my business. I sincerely hope you decide to visit us. It’s a lot of fun and all of the members are genuinely enthused about their businesses and customer service. Breakfast will be complimentary to you and you can attend two meetings without joining to make sure its a good fit. The meetings are held in a conference room at
American Enterprise Bank
275 South Roselle Road
Schaumburg, IL 60193-1636
(847) 352-1200

Hope to see you there!

obviously impossible as those prices are below water so they downgrade every transaction to a much higher rate of well over 3% They even tell you so on your application. they have horrendous customer service as they of course aren’t the acquirer they go through the old Novus now Elavon and they get a kickback on the residuals. they also have a monthly minimum of $25 and a hefty annual fee over $100.

Below are just a few tidbits. Never ever refer a client of yours to Costco because you will wind up losing clients.

Hi,

The NATB http://natb.org/ annual meeting and trade show is coming up July 16th -18th at the brand new Aira Hotel in the new Las Vegas City Center. http://www.worldticketconference.com/

I will be at the show with my partner Bob Dahlem. We are in booth #101 as soon as you walk in the door. A floor plan is attached to this email.

We have some real fun stuff planned to make this the best show for you the tickebroker!

-a Wii sports game at our booth #101 for your enjoyment
-we are also sponsoring the internet cafe with a printer this year!
-we are sponsoring a Visa $250.00 gift card raffle for the NATB.
-on Saturday 3:35-5:00 we will be partaking in a roundtable discussion regarding a subject near & dear to your hearts-chargeback protection and proactive chargeback defense
-for NATB attendees only who choose us as their credit card processor we will pay the first $250 of your NATB fees this year!

When choosing a credit card processor always keep in mind the following
-we’re not “posers” we have been servicing the ticketbroker industry and NATB members for over 8 years
-Matrix has been the credit card processor of choice for Ticketbrokers since 2002
-we have far more ticketbroker clients than any other processor in the industry
-see why over 200 ticketbrokers can’t be wrong
-get the real truth about the “Verified by Visa” program. While available through us and a useful tool it does not give you unilateral protection against chargebacks. If someone tells you otherwise run for the door. Real protection against chargebacks is with our aggressive proactive chargeback prevention techniques and aggressive chargeback defense.

If you’re attending please give me a call before the show at my office (below) or if you call while we’re in Vegas my cell is 847-772-9437. I’d love to buy you a meal or go for beverages in appreciation for your business and to get to know you better. At the very least stop by and say hello. And bring your friends!

Bill
