These days more than ever it makes sense to trim your bottom line any way possible.

Keeping a few extra bucks in your bank account is not a convenience.

And as you may already know in some cases it’s a necessity.

So what can you do?

One tip is to look at your monthly bills from service providers, and then to “shop around” to see if you can get a better deal for what you already have, need or use.

The key is to pay less for the same level of service.

This can include your cell phone plan, insurance, and yes… even your merchant account.

Get a Merchant Account Comparison

Before you get a review of your merchant account, there are THREE important points you will need to keep in mind as you talk with other merchant account providers.

They are:

1. Don’t rely on “effective rate” comparisons
2. Make sure all fees you are CURRENTLY paying are accurately reflected
3. Make sure proposed rates are guaranteed

I can’t tell you how many times business owners have told me that they switched their account based on a “projected savings” only to discover that they are actually paying more.

It DOES happen.

So, if the comparison worksheet shows you an “effective rate” demand to have ALL of your actual rates and fees listed in black and white.

Secondly, make sure the rates and fees on the worksheet actually reflect what you are paying.

Too many times numbers on worksheets are simply made up to over-exaggerate how much you will “save” by switching your account.

And finally, make sure your proposed rates are GUARANTEED.

Otherwise, you have no way of knowing whether you’ll ever realized the projected savings. Or for how long…

How do you find companies to review your account?

Well, you probably get tons of phone calls or folks walking in your door already. The problem is, 9 times out of 10 these are sales reps on commission. And a quota.

What’s more, in most cases they are not in a position to alter or modify pricing without prior approval, despite what they say.

So what’s left?
