About Tyler Long

Experience

1. Chief Executive Officer

   Paypro

   Apr 2017 — Present · Charleston, SC, US

   PayPro is the first lead generation firm in the electronic payments / merchant services industry utilizing a large scale, nationwide, face to face prospecting approach by individuals who know the merchant to generate leads that actually include the business\'s most recent processing statement of fees. Never before have leads been offered to sales organizations on this scale that are of this high quality. It is widely known that virtually no sales are ever made without having the merchant’s statement, and that once a well-trained merchant sales professional, who is aligned with one of the more reputable processors, has a merchant’s statement in hand to analyze, there is a greater than 50% chance that the sales professional will close the deal. PayPro\'s vision is to systematize on a large scale the initial steps of the merchant sales process, up to and including obtaining a copy of merchant’s most recent processing statement enabling PayPro to add tremendous value to sales organizations who wish to have their sales efforts focused on closing deals. Its parent company, Determinus, is a traditional merchant services provider specializing in higher risk accounts, often times offering chargeback reduction strategies and solutions that facilitate account longevity.
