There is a lot of hype about what the America stands for. It is a country where you can start off with nothing and work your way to the top without regards to race, religion, or political views. Anyone who is willing to work hard can realize the “A
merican Dreamâ€. It may not happen overnight, but with perseverance and a little entrepreneurial knack, it will happen over time. A perfect example of realizing an entrepreneurial dream is with Marc Gardner, CEO of North American Bancard.
He started North American Bancard in 1992, performing credit card processing services for small businesses. From the beginning he focused his efforts on helping small businesses by providing a level of service that the bigger processing companies could not provide. He has grown the company to more than 300 employees located in a newly purchased office building in Troy, MI. For more pieces of information about the company you can visit the North American Bancard Wikipedia Page.
Around 2003, Marc Gardner ceased the relationship with the company’s processing partner, and the company suffered losses and debt. In order to refocus, Marc hired the best people in the industry to take the company forward. Like all the experts say, in order to grow a business, always surround yourself with knowledgeable people. In fact, the company is hiring, since it is still growing fast. If you are interested in this industry, you can start networking with current employees of the company at the North American Bancard Linkedin Page.
North American Bancard is also a huge supporter of outside sales agents that sell the credit card processing services for a commission. This is how the company can spread its services to merchants all over the country. Seeing this opportunity early on, the CEO made sure that the sales agents were well trained. Today there is a website where agents can log in and find helpful tips and information about selling and marketing. Check out the North American Bancard Agent Site.
With the company gaining traction in the credit card processing industry, keep an eye out for them if you are a business owner or are thinking about starting a business.
