     No More Checks!
Let's look at the car rental business.  The clerk takes your credit card number before you get the keys!  Avis isn't going to send you a bill, asking you to pay by check, waiting for your money, month after month. 

Why is the rental car business a good model for your service business?  Because you are NOT a bank!  It is not in your best interest to loan out your services and equipment and keep all the costs and obligations of providing that service, while spending additional time sending out bills, making collection calls and opening envelopes.

In order to be profitable in today's' economy, you need to go paperless and checkless.  When you get your customer's information, get approval to use their credit card just like a car rental agency.  Then bill their credit card for services.  Your customer gets immediate email receipts and you get a 10-15% reduction in operating costs.

How can Clear Computing help?  Watch our video on credit card processing or give our office a call for more information.
   Placing a Dollar Hold on a Credit Card
When your customer calls for service, you can place a hold on their credit card for the expected amount, and then use that hold later to process the payment.  This can all be done within TAC.

You can place a dollar hold on a credit card by using a check code "ADJHLD" (Adjustment hold). Then click the Process Credit Card button and the approving IDs will be inserted into the note fields and the hold placed on the Credit card.  

Later you can use any portion of the hold by using the PCI tool bar when viewing the transaction.

Broken Lawn Mower 
Last year, when the power mower was broken and wouldn't run, I kept hinting to my husband that he ought to get it fixed, but somehow the message never sank in.

Finally I thought of a clever way to make the point.

When my husband arrived home that day, he found me seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors.

He watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. He was gone only a few moments when he came out again. He handed me a toothbrush. "When you finish cutting the grass," he said, "you might as well sweep the sidewalks."
