Merchant Sales Podcast has new episodes for you

Stuck at home while sheltering in place? Need a break from smartphone and
computer screens? Want some inspiration? The Merchant Sales Podcast provides
a convenient way to relax, learn and become motivated. A joint project of The
Green Sheet Inc. and CCSalesPro.com, the podcast is hosted by industry veterans
James Shepherd and Patti Murphy. They offer commentary on timely topics and
interview payments veterans on developments of vital interest to the payments
community. Recent episodes include:

• How the coronavirus pandemic will impact portfolio value and residuals: The COVID-19 pan-
demic has many ISOs and merchant level salespeople (MLSs) rethinking their strategies. James
and Patti discuss ways to sell even as social distancing keeps many off the streets. Plus, they
interview Joe Oglesby, president of Premier Processing Systems, on how the pandemic could
impact portfolio valuations and ISO acquisitions.
• How to help restaurants with online ordering: The coronavirus is impacting restaurants and the
small business community overall. How can you help? In this special episode, James shares tips
for ISOs and MLSs doing business during the coronavirus pandemic and talks about the effect
on the payments industry. Dave Humphrey, president at Bryte Payments, talks about the unique
challenge facing restaurants and how you can provide a risk-free online ordering solution to help
them stay in business and provide food to their customers.
• Turn payments data into online reviews with text marketing: Alex Bellini, co-founder of Fuze Financial,
describes how ISOs can drive more value to their merchants with proven text-based customer review
and marketing tools that integrate with any POS device. James explains why ISOs and MLSs need to
understand state laws governing cash discounting and surcharging, and educate their merchants on how
to do both legally. And Patti reports on why faster payments aren't making a beeline to the POS.
