The world is different than it was in 2019. A lot has changed, but everyone from the businesses we support to the restaurants we love have learned to adapt in a very short amount of time.
Think about your local grocery store for example. Unlike many other stores across the country, grocery stores never closed when COVID-19 began to threaten the United States. Instead, they quickly found ways to keep their employees and customers safe. They added one-way signs to their aisles, built plexiglass barriers between cashiers and customers, sanitized carts between each use, and some even pivoted to allow curbside and delivery services. Looking back, it’s clear that grocery stores set the precedent for all businesses in the country when it comes to safely serving customers through a pandemic.
Now, let’s talk about you.
As an Agent, what changes have you made to better serve your merchants and yourself in today’s current climate? Perhaps you transitioned your in-person meetings to video conferences or started providing digital marketing materials instead of hard copies. These are thoughtful changes, but they’re also obvious.
We’d like to challenge you to think deeper. Take some time today to really think about your merchants’ futures and your own career. Will it ever return to hard copies and in-person meetings? Perhaps. But, does it need to?
In this post, we’ll explore some of the benefits of an ISO Agent Program that is equipped to serve merchants and help you succeed in a digital world.
How You Can Help with the Right Merchant Services Products
Even before the pandemic, your merchants’ customers were craving a seamless, simple, or even invisible payment experience. For many people, it was a dealbreaker. In fact, a recent study shows that 41% of customers avoid businesses that don’t accept the payment solution they prefer.
So, the first question to ask yourself as an Agent is, “what are my merchants’ customers looking for?”
Of course, the answer depends on the type of business your merchant is running. However, many of today’s merchants are looking to shift their payment solutions to adapt to our socially distant world. This means more and more merchants will be looking for online payment solutions, contactless options, and mobile payment acceptance.
You could be the one to introduce the right solution for your merchant. But first, you’ll need to choose a provider who is equipped to offer many different solutions, including:
- eCommerce solutions
- NFC/contactless payment solutions
- Online menus and ordering
- Mobile payment acceptance
- Virtual terminals
Electronic Merchant Systems offers all these solutions and more to help your merchants thrive, even during challenging times. Click here to read more about each of the merchant services products designed to help your merchants offer their customers a seamless payment experience.
