Real World
Answers to Common POS Questions
I was recently impressed
with a particular handout prepared by Brett Mansdorf , Southern
Regional Sales Manager for Lipman USA. (You know, the Nurit people).
The material comes from the mind of a real street guy, and I thought
others would find it interesting. (Of course, it promotes Lipman, but
that's Brett's job, isn't it?)
1. Merchant tells you that
they want to use an old printer.
A possible answer: Because
the operating system of the Nurit terminals operate like a PC, the
merchant CAN use virtually any printer. In fact the ISO can set the
printer without a download.
2. Merchant doesn't think
POS terminal is worth what he paid, and would be reluctant to buy
another. Notes, "Damn box sits there, costs me money, and for
what?"
A possible answer: With the
purchase of a Nurit terminal a merchant can get in the phone
activation business through the terminal. With benefits such as
recurring billing applications like Visa Easy Pay or EBT the
equipment can become even more of a money maker for both the merchant
and the ISO.
3. Merchant wants wireless
mobility but won't pay roamer fees.
A possible answer: The Nurit
wireless 2070 terminal operates on communications systems, which
eliminates the roamer fees.
Brett would love for you to
have all these questions and answers (which are extensive), but you
will have to get the rest from him. While I have edited and minimized
some of the elements, I think the information is great and a
must-have tool. If you're selling or interested in selling Lipman,
contact Brett at (972) 790-5236 and ask for the "Issues at Hand: Have
You Ever Encountered These?" piece, or ask The Green Sheet staff and
we will get it to you.
