Navigating Through The Risks Of Credit Card Processing

Bill Pirtle knows how vital credit and debit card processing services can be to business owners. 


He also knows that there is so much misleading information, misrepresentation and confusion surrounding these services. As a result, "Many merchants have been locked into long-term and expensive contracts."

Pirtle, a Royal Oak resident, has given these business owners and managers the upper hand with his new book, Navigating Through The Risks Of Credit Card Processing.  His insightful volume is based on his past six years working as a credit card sales agent. 


Pirtle's book shows readers an interesting overview of the industry as well as many specific examples of how credit card processing actually works. His mission is to help all business owners to "get the best value and service, not just the 'cheapest' contract which is likely to have many hidden costs and fees."

Bill Pirtle's book, Navigating Through The Risks Of Credit Card Processing, is currently available for sale online through amazon.com. You can reach BIll at 734-272-6177 or http://www.merchantprocessingconsulting.com/
