Merchant Warehouse wins Stevie Award

By Kristen Lawrence

01/03/2011 - Merchant Warehouse, a merchant accounts and credit card processing solutions provider, recently announced that it had received a Stevie Award for Sales Lead Management System of the Year.

This year marked the fifth annual Stevie Awards for Sales and Customer Service. Merchant Warehouse was honored for developing a system that can process, route and track leads from clicks to calls to closed sales.

"This year's class of honorees illustrates that no matter your organization's size, industry, budget, or location, it's possible to excel at the two most important functions in business: acquiring and keeping customers," said Michael Gallagher, president of the Stevie Awards.

Effective sales and marketing solutions can boost customer spending and increase the payment processing volumes for retailers. Even if retailers provide high-quality products, they need to have good customer service in order to acquire regular patrons. Easy bill payment is part of good quality customer service, which can be facilitated by installing easy to use point-of-sale terminals. The ability to process credit card purchases quickly will reduce the time customers have to stand in line and improve the overall shopping experience.
