You’re Probably Losing Money (even as you read this)

Hi there,

It’s May! Spring is in the air, birds are singing in the trees, and payment processors are ripping you off as usual. That’s right—it’s time for another uncomfortable chat.

The simple fact of the matter is you’re almost certainly losing money on your payment processing and you’re not even aware of it. It’s all part of a magic show that payment processors perform—taking money from you without you realizing it—a trick that even David Copperfield would be proud of.

Think about it. Your payment system is the lifeblood of your operation—it’s the pipe through which 90% (and often more) of your hard-earned revenue flows. Yet, how much time and scrutiny do you really give it? If you got a new cleaner working in your office, you’d probably vet them more diligently. It’s baffling that most people are quite happy to hand over the keys of their entire financial engine to anyone who simply turns up and whispers the magic word, “savings”.

The thing about “savings” is that it’s a fantastic word if you’re trying to distract someone from hidden fees, tiered pricing, fine print, vague descriptions, and misrepresentations. But you sign up anyway, because you like the word. It’s like sailing a ship and congratulating yourself on obtaining a slightly cheaper rudder, while the gaping hole that’s emerged in your hull is slowly filling your ship with water.  That, my dear friends, is what many of you are doing. You’re hyper-focused on the tiny upfront discount while the hidden fees are quietly eroding your profits. Like I said, it’s a great trick.

What if it didn't have to be this way? What if you had a seasoned expert on your side—someone who can spot the smoke and mirrors, translate the jargon, and make sure you’re getting a deal that actually benefits your bottom line?

That’s what I do. I take the time needed to understand your business, identify the hidden leaks, and build an efficient payment strategy that actually saves you money (I know, I nearly used the “savings” word there, myself—but when I use it, you can bank on it). And, guess what . . I DON'T WANT YOUR PROCESSING (I know, hard to believe).

With every cent you think you’re saving, costing you dearly, it’s time to stop concentrating on PRICE and start focusing on VALUE. Get in touch and together we’ll tackle the drain that’s silently sucking away your money. I’ve been helping businesses increase their profitability for years, and chances are I can help you too.

Until next month (when hopefully our little chat will be a little lighter).
