Leave a reply

HostingCon 2012 is right around the corner. And The Official Merchant Services Blog is pleased to announce that Host Merchant Services CEO Lou Honick will be there to participate in a panel discussion on the topic of Best Practices for Payment Processing. The discussion, scheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday July 18, offers hosting providers tactics for reducing payment processing costs and reducing risk. Honick is part of a panel of payment processing industry experts addressing the conference.

“As a three-time keynote panelist, I’m excited to return as a speaker this year,” said Honick of his speaking engagement. “Panel discussions at HostingCon have been consistently excellent at packing a high level of knowledge and experience into a single session.  Having been the CEO of a hosting company for 11 years, and now at the helm of Host Merchant Services for three years, I’m able to bring a great perspective on best practices for credit card processing in hosted services.”

HostingCon, celebrating its 8th anniversary, is the foremost conference and trade show for the hosted services industry. The best and the brightest from the industry will be attending the event from July 16 – 18 at the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center in Boston, MA.

“As a specialist in partnering with web hosting companies, I’m glad to share my experiences from both sides of the table to help attendees reduce costs, decrease fraud, comply with regulations, and maintain security.”

Host Merchant Services specializes in providing world-class customer service and support to its credit card processing customers. The company takes a different approach to merchant services, focusing on delivering the industry’s lowest processing rates while providing industry-leading service and support. Host Merchant Services, headquartered in Newark, Delaware, specializes in partnering with web hosting and other professional services companies to offer payment processing to their customers.

This approach stems from Honick’s experience in the web hosting industry. Honick got his start in the hosting industry as the founder of HostMySite.com, growing it from a two person operation in 1997, to an industry leader with 240 employees and over 100,000 customers at the time it was acquired by a private equity firm in June of 2008. He transferred the same successful approach to the credit card processing industry when he began Host Merchant Services in 2009.

Host Merchant Services will also be there in force to promote their special offer program with partner OpenSRS. OpenSRS partnered with Host Merchant Services back in April.

This partnership brings Host Merchant Services, the premier provider of payment processing and e-commerce services for small businesses and medium businesses, to OpenSRS Offers, the platform that allows OpenSRS Resellers to extend valuable third-party offers and discounts to their customers.

The partnership is bolstered by HMS’ experience with the web hosting industry and HostingCon is a perfect venue for the company to present its ongoing initiative to provide E-Commerce focused companies a robust solution for processing credit cards online.

“We don’t write a business off as high risk just because it sells its products or services online,” added Honick. “HMS understands the needs of e-commerce merchants and works tirelessly to provide them with the right services at the best possible rate.”

As stated before this webinar focuses on the partnership program — a bold offering from Host Merchant Services where we help businesses make money by sharing revenues with them from referrals they bring to us. The system goes beyond the normal lead-referral system, giving the partners potential for a much larger share of the revenue. HMS does all the work on its own to set up the partner’s customers for credit card processing. Host Merchant Services provides the partner’s customers with a complete payment processing and financial transaction service quickly and easily. Once the customer has their merchant account set up and has begun processing, the partner then begins to earn a steady and consistent stream of shared revenue with each and every monthly processing statement.

What is the Partnership Program?

The Partnership Program that Host Merchant Services has devised is a way for businesses to expand their monthly revenue through referrals. It goes beyond the normal lead-referral system however, and as such gives the partners a larger share of the revenues. With the Host Merchant Services partnership program, HMS helps its potential partners earn monthly revenue through the business transactions of their very own customers. HMS does all the work on its own to set up the partner’s customers for credit card processing. The company provides the partner’s customers with a complete payment processing and financial transaction service quickly and easily. Once the customer has their merchant account set up and has begun processing, the partner then begins to earn a steady and consistent stream of shared revenue with each and every monthly processing statement.

Happy Customers are the Key

Host Merchant Services makes it easy for its partners to find leads and generate revenue. The company does this through the features of its HMS Guarantee. Each lead a partner brings to Host Merchant Services is offered these features:

  • Great Rate. HMS saves its customers money on their processing. The company pledges that if it can’t save one of its partner’s referrals money on processing, the company will give that referral a $100 Gift Card for their time.
  • Great Service. Host Merchant Services is about bringing trust to the payment processing industry and the company strives to go the extra mile with its commitment to superior customer service. The company has live people available 24x7x365 to take technical support and customer service calls. As company CEO Lou Honick says, “We pledge that if our customers have a problem, we will fix it.”
  • No Hidden Fees. Host Merchant Services offers a pricing model that has no annual fee, no application fee, no monthly minimums and the lowest PCI Fee in the industry.
  • Lifetime Rate. Host Merchant Services offers a straightforward “cost plus” pricing model and the rate is guaranteed. The company grandfathers that rate and will not raise it. The only time the rates change is when the card associations — MasterCard, Visa and Discover — raise the rates for everyone.
  • No Contracts. Host Merchant Services does not lock its customers into a term contract or charge them early termination fees. As CFO Dan Honick likes to say, “Our customers stay with us because they are happy with our service.”

This combination of features adds plenty of enticement to a partner’s customer base to add Host Merchant Services as its credit card processor. Making Host Merchant Services a reliable company for the partner to refer to its customer base. Host Merchant Services does all of the work to set the referral up with a merchant account, to install a robust payment processing solution, and to keep the customer happy with superior customer service month after month. It’s a safe and easy way for a business to add more revenue to its bottom line each month.
