About Leslie Riggs

As a payments consulting professional, I specialize in improving your entire payments process resulting in improved cash flow, lower costs and better processes for your company while providing a better checkout experience for your valued customers and clients. Credit card companies reward consumers with wonderful perks to get free travel, meals and rebates - but who gets stuck with the bill for those perks we all love to receive? Traditionally - businesses do. Many business owners have already realized it doesn\'t have to be this way and have implemented new programs to make things more fair for everyone so that those benefitting from the perks cover the payment processing cost instead of having non-card customers subsidize programs they don\'t benefit from in any way.Think of when you go to the gas station: card or cash are accepted options we all have embraced because it makes sense. Card costs more because of costs the gas station incurs by accepting it so the consumer is given a choice - pay a little more for the rewards and convenience of paying with a card at the pump OR walk inside, pay with cash and get a lower price. Another example - have you gone in to to renew your automotive club membership or registration and saw charges a fee to pay with a credit card now? This is the way of the future for many businesses that realize more customers are paying with credit card to earn those perks or perhaps due to having to put more of their basic living expenses on a credit card. Merchants are deciding they can\'t or don\'t want to continue to absorb these high monthly fees and want options. If this is resonating with you, let\'s chat (no obligation) and discuss your payments environment. As a part of our conversation we can discuss cost reduction strategies (you can continue to absorb the merchant fees, too if you wish via another variety of option not discussed here), software, hardware and technology integrations for your specific environment, etc. I work with businesses of all types - B2B, B2C and ISVs, of all sizes, in any location. I bring my extensive business consulting background to what I do to each day and will help you roll out the best payments strategy for your business. I am known for my commitment to providing excellent support and service to my customers and would love to be of service to you.Here\'s my calendar if you\'d like to find a convenient time to talk https://calendly.com/leslie-ocpaymentspro
