Cash discounting program by Shaw Merchant Group? With the EDGE cash discounting program, paying for an item with cash will be relatively unchanged. Customers will see the advertised price of the item, go to the register, hand the cashier their cash, and purchase their item. No additional fee or surcharge will be placed upon the consumer. The merchant won’t have any processing fees for this transaction and the customer will also be able to escape without paying any fees.
There’s an incredible amount of emotion that goes into B2C sales. Consider small businesses selling their product for the first time, or the first time someone buys a car. There is so much riding on that one transaction because it’s based more on emotion. B2B sales can be rather cut and dry—strategic and rational. There is a strategy in place to ensure the sale happens, and again, there’s multiple stakeholders on each side to help move the buying process along.

Be proactive: Clients want to know that you’re thinking about them. They want to feel special. Too often financial advisors and bankers let too much time pass between talking to their current clients because they don’t want to be viewed as a pest or come across too salesy. However, your clients want your advice. Be proactive and give it to them. If you read something on LinkedIn’s Financial Services blog that you think is applicable, send it along. If one of your clients is looking to expand in the Chinese market and you read an article about U.S. companies trying to break through, highlight the important part and suggest a phone call to discuss the implications. Don’t sit back and wait for your clients to reach out to you. Stay in constant contact. This will strengthen your relationships, help you uncover new opportunities, and protect your clients from your competitors.
