"Merchants of all types have been impacted by stay-in-place and shut-down orders enacted across the country," said Ryan
Malloy, vice president of partner relations at North American Bancard (NAB). "We knew instantly our sales partners
would need every possible tool in the box just to be effective in guiding business owners to payment acceptance solutions
designed for the new normal."
Revisit, renew, and reinforce

Some payment processing and technology firms saw the emergence of new business practices as an opportunity. These
payment providers began focusing more energy on boosting the sales knowledge base and identifying sales gaps that
could be addressed quickly. "North American Bancard launched a series of COVID-19 response trainings for sales partners,
expanded one-on-one coaching, and augmented communications right away," Malloy said, explaining the company
concentrated its sales support efforts on providing sales partners with extra avenues to refresh and gain more knowledge
about relevant products and programs they could offer to struggling merchants. "We approached the crisis as both a call
to guide sales partners toward the right alternative programs merchants can use to diversify service delivery, as well as a
chance to renew and reinforce relationships within our sales partner network," Malloy explained.
Easy upgrades

According to Malloy, one of the best parts of NAB's merchant service. For example, merchants who now want to minimize
contact with customers, can instantly implement NAB's virtual terminal feature without enlisting or waiting for help

from NAB's customer care department.

"We've been steadily ensuring our salespeople know how to assist merchants with adopting easy, COVID-friendly fixes,
like our virtual terminal and invoicing functionality," said Malloy.

innovation in the payments industry
Additionally, Malloy noted, NAB has launched specialty trainings and support for products the sales team can bring to a
merchant or sales prospect who is interested in facilitating more advanced contactless payment sales. Such applications
include NAB's online ordering program, mobile payment apps, proprietary Payanywhere POS ensemble, and a host of
easy-to-implement ecommerce solutions.
Standing strong for partners
Malloy describes NAB's ability to support its sales partner network in whatever capacity, and whenever or wherever
they need it, as "a true partnership." He indicated NAB has always stood beside its sales partners and remains committed
to backing them with the right programs, promotions, products, and hands-on care they need as the world navigates
through this unprecedented time, and well beyond. "The most important focus for us right now is ensuring our salesforce
is educated and ready to nimbly provide a merchant with any product they need to draw in business and keep the doors
open and cash flowing," affirmed Malloy.
