			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Companies without a CFO are at a disadvantage!  Many start-ups, small and mid-sized firms have sophisticated operations and complex cost and financial challenges like large companies, only on a smaller scale.  They need the expertise of a senior financial executive, but not <span style="text-decoration: underline;">full time</span>, nor can they afford the cost of a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">full time</span> CFO.  Most companies can’t justify hiring a CFO until they reach $30-$40 million in sales.  However, their bookkeepers and controllers often can’t offer the level of financial sophistication, problem solving and strategic financial management that business owners need.</p>
<p>As a <strong>B2B CFO®</strong> partner, I provide CFO services on an affordable, part time or as needed basis.<strong> </strong>With <strong>B2B CFO®<em>,</em></strong> I can tap into partners with over 4,000 years of CFO experience and a high-tech intranet with on-line research.  <strong>B2B CFO®</strong> was established in 1987 and is currently in 43 states with over 140 partners. My bio, our Service Approach and other company information is available at:</p>

<p>The primary market we focus on is the new business that needs a suite of products to help its sales and accepting credit and debit cards is one of them.</p>
<p>Our company is run by a dedicated crew of seasoned business people who have experience running major sales organizations and developing businesses that have been highly profitable focusing on the needs of the customer and providing excellent service.</p>
<p>Most of the companies we compete with are large marketing companies with large staffs of telemarketers calling the whole USA.  Some have branches in large metropolitan areas but most sales are by phone, e-mail or fax.</p>
<p>The advantage that Bankcard Systems NW has is focusing our sales attention in a regional area – <strong>Portland</strong>, <strong>Vancouver</strong>, <strong>Salem</strong> and <strong>Eugene</strong>. We provide <span style="text-decoration: underline;">onsite training</span> and service giving more choices to the consumer that will match his/her needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.</p>
<p>Give us a call for an appointment. We’ll meet you at your business or a convenient location and show you how to save big money on your credit and debit card processing needs.</p>

<p>I own a distributorship in a greeting card company that is probably different than any greeting card shop you’ve  seen. You go to our online site, find the card you want (or customize your own) and write your message on your card – even in your own handwriting! When you hit the button that says “Send”, we print out your card, fold it, place it in an envelope, put a stamp on it, and even drive it over to the Post Office and mail it for you. And we do it all for about a buck a card! You can even add a gift and we will send for you!</p>
<p>If you think that this is a business tool that you could use to improve your customer contact,  send me an email.  I&#8217;ll send you a link that will allow you to log into my account and send a card for free to test it out and see how you like it. nicetouchmarketing@gmail.com</p>
