Marc W. Halpert will be conducting this webinar. Since leaving corporate treasury eight years ago, he has started two companies offering specialized paperless electronic payment services to optimize cash flow and speed of collections to retailers, small- and medium-sized businesses (Your Best Interest LLC) and professional and membership groups, and not-for-profit organizations (e-giving).
Halpert told Ventureneer: "I am continually amazed at the level of misinformation at the grass-roots level about electronic payment techniques. There is so much opportunity and price variability in credit card acceptance. To adapt a quote from a large retailer, 'an educated nonprofit (or business manager) is our best client'- in this webinar you will receive the education and tools you need to save money and speed your cash flow." In today's challenging economic times, cash is certainly king and Halpert added: "Getting paid electronically will save administrative and banking expense if processed in an optimal manner." His webinar will provide insight into these fundamentals.
Marc Halpert has been recognized for client service and is a frequent speaker at national, regional and local conferences for small businesses and not-for-profits. He has also authored articles on innovations in cash flow technologies. He serves as Lead Instructor and Area Finance Chair at the University of Phoenix's Fairfield County on-ground campus, where he teaches finance, management, human geography and business ethics courses.
