I have had a merchant account in my businesses for many years, and during my research over the years I had found that most of them were pretty much the same. They all charged monthly fees, administrative fees, transaction fees, statement fees, and even terminal fees if you have a point of service processing terminal. I had also found the process of signing up to be somewhat cumbersome, and a complete energy drain.

I was recently introduced to a service that I believe stands head and shoulders above the
other merchant account systems I've seen. It's called "Accept-By-Phone", and it's truly
amazing. This service allows you to accept credit cards over any touchtone phone. All you do
is dial a toll free number (speed dial it on your cell phone if you like), enter your pin, and
then key in the credit card number. That's all it takes, and you'll be paid directly to your
bank account within 24 to 72 hours. If your client is present at the time of the transaction
you can run a paper receipt and key the information in later. Either way, it couldn't be
simpler.

I can't tell you how many times I've been on the road, at the courthouse, or out of the office
when someone wanted to make a payment, and I delayed my ability to accept it by having to ask them to send a check. I also can't tell you how many times that check was late or never came in the first place.

If you bill for your fees, or if you have a collections practice, this is the perfect way to
increase your cashflow conveniently, and cost effectively, not to mention how it improves your
profile in the eyes of your client.

One other thing I like about Accept-By-Phone is that the price is right. You pay 3.95% of
each transaction and a small monthly maintenance fee of just $5.00. I pay $45.00 per month
just to have my account open, and that's before I process any transactions! So, there are no
other transaction fees, statement fees, or terminal fees to be paid, which means you keep more of your hard earned money, and pay only when you use it.

When I found out about this service I decided to see if I could work out a special deal for
The ESQlawtech Weekly community, and I was pleasantly surprised with a warm reception from Accept-By-Phone. The company has agreed to reduce the $99.00 one-time setup fee to only $37.00 for ESQlawtech subscribers until Tuesday, March 7 at 11:59 PM EST.

Remember, this offer is only valid until this coming Tuesday - after that, the $37.00 setup fee simply will not be available.

You've really got nothing to lose with such a small set-up fee, and no cancellation fees, so why not give it a try? If you decide to try this service, please let me know how it works for you. I always love to get feedback!

One final thought. For those of you who represent business owners it would be a great idea to pass this tip along to them. You could save a client a lot of hassle, and equip them to
better service their customers by taking a moment to tell them about Accept-By-Phone. I
personally called 20 of my closest friends the day I found out about the service, and I share
this with everyone I talk to. If you'd like to do a client or friend a favor, I'd suggest you do the same!

So don't miss out on this offer. Login below while you still can, and get your own Accept by Phone account while it's still fresh in your mind...
