Accepting Credit Cards Can Immediately Increase Sales And Profits*

*We do not provide merchant services. We suggest you start by contacting you bank and doing your own research. I know from many years while we were contractors it paid off handsomely so I am simply passing on a mere "scrap of information" to help you get more cashflow and profit.

Unplanned Emergencies - Are stressful now add "how am I going to pay for this" to the mix and the anxiety increases exponentially! For most people cash in short supply which leaves using a credit card, getting a bank loan or selling something to raise cash as their best options?

For Example - Homeowner with leaking roof is going to get it fixed right away because rain water is damaging the interior of their home including some irreplaceable sentimental treasures including items passed down from parents and grandparents.

Who Will They Call? - You I hope! If you are their contractor and you are actively working and the contractor they like and trust.

"Everybody wins, your client gets roof fixed, they earn airline miles and other perks and you made a sale which you could have easily lost to a competitor that accepts credit cards.

Add On Sales - Will more than make up for any fees you pay to accept credit cards. Prove it to yourself by asking twenty contractors that accept credit cards why they do and then ask twenty that don't and make up your own mind. In our past construction businesses when we accepted credit cards the profits increased over 100% and if I told you how much I guarantee you would not believe it!

When Your Company Was New, The Answers Were Not As Important As They Are Now

You are a small contractor who needs an Admin Assistant to answer your phone, so you hire someone for your contracting company office.

Calls come in, and your Admin Assistant has some free time between calls, so you want to make use of that famous Standby Time, and you ask them to do a little more. Being nice; you give a new title of Office Manager.  

As the Office Manager; that person is in control of the bookkeeping, customer invoices, vendor payments and more. As the contractor, you are excited because you are handing off the responsibility for the day to day activities.

From your side; you have checked off the box called Office Manger DONE, phones DONE, bookkeeping DONE and material pickup and delivery person DONE. Everything is solved. Good now you can go back to work and start doing the work which is the part you are good at and like to do.
