Possible solution if you want to accept credit cards

[Ed Caffrey]

Several years ago I decided that I needed to be able to accept credit cards, and went with a local bank who offered the services.....what a nightmare! The costs ate me out of house and home, the red tape was endless, and I could never get anyone to answer my questions..... I dumped that account, and have not taken credit cards for a number of years...and there is no doubt that not being able to accept credit cards has cost me sales.

Fast forward to now. With the help of my good friend Steve Kelly, I think there might be a solution for Knifemakers. An individual, who is one of Steve's neighbors, operates a business, setting up merchant accounts for credit cards. Her name is Tanya Haas. She's been at this for 10+ years, and not only knows the ins and outs, but will actually take the time and effort to educate you, and explain everything.

Steve gave Tanya my phone number, and about two weeks ago we started discussing my options. Where every other outfit talked in gibberish, and did their best to dodge all my specific questions, Tanya took the time and effort to explain EVERYTHING to me, ensured that I understood, and offered me the absolute best deal I have ever seen for being able to accept credit cards.....something I could afford, and a real person to speak with when I have questions or need explanations. When it came time to fill out the application, Tanya emailed me the forms, I printed them off, and she spent a couple of hours on the phone with me, helping me fill it out, and explaining each line until I understood.

This isn't a sales pitch.....its just Ed Caffrey, trying to help out the family of knifemakers that have been so wonderful to me over the years. I'm not getting anything out of it, and do not want anything, except to help Knifemakers who might be interested in being able to accept credit cards. To that end, if your interested in being able to accept credit cards, you can contact Tanya and see what she can do for you....... here is the information for contacting Tanya:

All I can tell you is that Tanya was very honest, open, and helpful. I felt good about dealing with her, and she gave me a FAR better deal than any other outfit I have dealt with. She is currently processing my account, and I should be ready to accept credit cards by the end of the month. Its the best deal that I have seen for folks like us, and just thought that I would share it.
