❝People who wonder if the glass is half empty or half full miss the point... -The glass is refillable.❞Thinking like that whetted my appetite for business long before Simon Sinek morphed the meme. I’ve worked with 1000's (yes thousands) of independent specialty retailers, distributors, wholesalers, manufacturers. I've owned and partnered in my own shops, and run lots of retail projects that involved corporate giants, like Best Buy, Dollar General, KMART, Sony, Target, University of Minnesota, Walmart... I've seen the technology pendulum swing, to a point where it no longer favors corporate giants and so-called super stores (yay!). I enjoy using the lessons I learned in the land of the giants to help independent businesses grow.If you are a credit card processing agent looking to penetrate the integrated payments market AND keep your full margin, I can show you how Acme Point of Sale does that with no loss of account control.
