Daniel Craven Email & Phone Number

I am a former Director of Operations for a group of restaurants and live music venues. When I was managing restaurants, we changed card payment processors and payroll providers several times... due to being overcharged, or receiving poor service. When I finally found an honest, reliable consultant who was glad to teach me about this industry... how to read complicated statements, why certain providers are dangerous, what I should expect from my provider vs. what most business owners accept (and how to know if I was getting a fair deal), I became interested in helping business owners to receive the same, fair and honest treatment. I realized how little is shared with most business owners about how their money and their customers' cardholder information is handled, what these service providers are really like, and the TRUE costs that are involved in moving money to their bank accounts. So, in 2004, I set out on a mission to help every business owner that I can reach... to save money, to have less stress over their cash flow, to have safe and reliable service, and to increase their revenue and customer base. Some business owners want to know the details... and some would need a LOT of coffee to stay awake while we talk about them. While I enjoy sharing knowledge about new technology and capabilities that are available, industry changes, legislation that benefits business owners, and how pricing really works... many clients just want to know that they're being taken care of by someone who's looking out for them. I'm here to help... either way. Here's one for you... 99.9% of all companies that offer credit card payment processing services are 3rd party resellers. There are only a handful of companies in the US that own networks that are connected to Visa/MasterCard/Discover, and actually perform the processing.Specialties: Credit and Debit card payment processing, Payroll Services, gift, loyalty, and electronic marketing cards, SmartLink, POS systems.

Listed skills include Sales Management, Small Business, New Business Development, Management, and 26 others.
