The 2024 Holiday Season is Here – But is your Business Ready for the Payment Rush? Black Friday and Cyber Monday are just around the corner, and one thing is crystal clear E-commerce and digital payments are about to explode again The question is: Is your business ready to keep up? At @Payzli, we’ve seen firsthand how businesses that prepare for the holiday rush crush it with easy, fast payments that keep customers happy and cash flowing. Here’s why it matters: 1. Speed is Everything: Over 70% of shoppers will ditch their cart if your checkout is slow or clunky. Quick, secure payments aren’t optional – they’re mandatory. 2) Mobile Payments Are Skyrocketing: 2024 is “THE” year for mobile payments. If you’re not ready for mobile, you’re probably waving goodbye to a big chunk of sales. 3) Customer Experience Wins the Day: When people shop during Black Friday craziness, they want zero hassles. Make paying a breeze, and they’ll come back again with bigger baskets. Your To-Do List: • Make sure your payment process is fast and secure. • Set up mobile-friendly checkout. • Cut down the steps to pay and keep those carts from getting abandoned.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is a Masterclass in Business Reinvention—Here’s What You Can Learn   I’m not a music guy (and definitely not a Swiftie), but Taylor Swift’s transformation since 2020 has been nothing short of remarkable.   Her Eras Tour is on track to earn over $2 billion from ticket sales alone, and with additional revenue streams, could surpass $4.1 billion. She’s not just dominating the music world—she’s rewriting the playbook for success in any industry.   Here’s how much Swift is making from the Eras Tour:   1. Ticket Sales: Over $2 billion, with the most expensive tickets reaching $499. I’ve even hear of people paying up to $2,500! 2. Merchandise: An estimated $864,000 per show in merch sales. 3. Concert Film: Nearly $250 million in two months from the Eras Tour movie. 4. Bonuses: $55 million in bonuses to her staff, including $100,000 for each of her 50 tour bus drivers.   What can we learn from this?   1. Diversify your offerings: Just as Swift spans multiple music genres, businesses can broaden their product or service range to capture new markets and stay relevant.   2. Build a fanatical following: Swift’s fans are emotionally invested in her life and story. Businesses that create an emotional connection with their audience build loyalty beyond the transaction.   3. Deliver exceptional experiences: People are willing to pay over $2,000 to see her live because of the experience she delivers. How can your business offer that level of value and excitement?   4. Reward your team: Swift gave $55 million in bonuses to her staff. When you take care of your people, they’ll go the extra mile for your business.    Action Plan:   - Explore ways to diversify your offerings in 2024. - Share your story to deepen connections with your audience. - Elevate every customer interaction—make it memorable. - Reward your team—they are the backbone of your success.   Question for you: What’s one step you can take today to start your business reinvention?   If this resonates, share this post with someone who’s ready to scale their business like Taylor Swift scaled her empire. Let’s spark a conversation in the comments.   #BusinessGrowth #Leadership #Reinvention #TaylorSwift #ErasTour #CustomerExperience

I read this quote the other day that “People don’t like to be sold, they love to buy.” by effrey Gitomer. This couldn’t be more true. Think about it, no one enjoys feeling pressured or pushed into a decision. But when you create an environment where customers feel empowered, they’ll want to make the purchase. It’s not about hitting them with a hard sell; it’s about creating an experience where the value is so clear, they’re excited to take the next step. People love to buy when they feel it’s their choice, when they’re getting something that genuinely meets their needs. For me, this highlights the importance of guiding, not pushing. It’s about listening, offering insights, and giving customers the confidence to make their own decisions. When you do that, they don’t just buy, they buy with enthusiasm. And that’s what builds loyalty and long-term relationships. #fintech #sales #philosophy #linkedin

 Zig Ziglar said it best: "Stop selling. Start helping." And I couldn’t agree more. In today’s world, successful sales aren’t about how well you can pitch a product, they’re about how much value you can bring to the table. People are tired of being sold to. What they really want is someone who understands their problems and genuinely wants to help solve them.  That’s where value-driven sales come in. When we focus on helping rather than selling, we become partners in their success, not just another transaction. For me, it’s all about building trust. Clients remember the ones who offered real solutions, not the ones who were just trying to close the deal. So next time you approach a client, ask yourself: How can I help? Because that’s what truly drives long-term success. #fintech #payments #sales #philosophy #linkedin

As we reflect on the aftermath of Hurricane Milton’s threat to the Tampa Bay Area, I’m filled with gratitude as I welcome the newest member of our family, Fatimah Rayyanne Hamdar, born on 10/08/24. While baby and mom were safely in the hospital during the storm, the twins and I weathered it at home. Moments like these remind us of the incredible strength of community. It looked horrific outside but early this morning following the incredible storm, my neighbors rallied together, and by 11 a.m., we had the whole neighborhood cleaned up. The twins also pitched in and helped with the cleanup. Although our home sustained some damage—broken roof tiles, a leak in the garage, and a power outage—the outpouring of support has been overwhelming. I sincerely appreciate everyone who has reached out with calls, emails, and texts to check in on us. Your kindness means the world. This experience truly highlights the essence of the American dream that we all strive for—a sense of safety, community, and connection. Key Takeaways: 1. Community Strength: In times of crisis, the support of neighbors can make a huge difference. 2. Gratitude Matters: Acknowledging and expressing thanks for the support received fosters connection. 3. Resilience in Adversity: Challenges can bring us closer together and remind us of what truly matters. Here’s to the resilience of our community and the blessings that come with family. Thank you all for being there for us! #Community #Gratitude #Family #Resilience #HurricaneMilton

In sales, we often focus on what to say, but the real magic lies in what we hear. Active listening is probably the most underrated sales skill out there, yet it’s one of the most powerful. When we actively listen, we’re not just waiting for our turn to speak, we’re genuinely understanding the client’s needs, concerns, and goals. It’s amazing how much people reveal when they feel heard. And when clients feel understood, trust is built, and that’s what leads to lasting relationships. For me, the best sales conversations aren’t about delivering the perfect pitch. They’re about asking the right questions and listening with intent. It’s this subtle shift that turns a standard sales interaction into a meaningful conversation. The more we listen, the better we can serve, and that’s where the magic happens. #2cents #sales #philosophy #linkedin #fintech

Ever wondered why people trust recommendations from friends or colleagues more than ads? That’s how social proof works. When your clients rave about your service, they’re not just satisfied customers, they’re your most credible salespeople. People naturally look to others when making decisions, especially if they feel uncertain. So, why not make it easy for your clients to do the talking for you?  Encourage them to share their experiences, whether through testimonials, case studies, or even a simple LinkedIn shout-out. The magic lies in authentic, unsolicited praise. It builds trust faster than any marketing campaign ever could. And the best part? When your clients advocate for you, they reach potential customers you might never access on your own. So, next time, don’t just focus on closing the deal, turn your clients into champions of your brand. Because happy clients don’t just stick around, they spread the word. #sales #fintech #psychology #linkedin

Simon Sinek’s words, “People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it,” really resonates with me. I’ve always found this quote powerful because it flips the way we think about selling. It’s not just about the product or service you’re offering. It’s about the reason behind it. Think of brands like Apple. They’re not just selling phones, they’re selling a vision of innovation and creativity. People connect with that purpose, and that’s why they keep coming back. In a crowded market, the “what” can easily get lost in the noise. But when customers believe in your “why,” they become loyal advocates. It’s not just a transaction; it’s an emotional connection. For me, this is a reminder that when we’re pitching, we need to dig deeper than features and benefits. #sales #customerservice #payments #linkedin

Here’s a story from early days of starting my company. Back in 2007, on a lazy Sunday, I had my whole family over for a pool party and BBQ. Just as we were about to dig into some juicy steaks, I got a call from a merchant in Lakeland, an hour away, saying his payment machine wasn’t turning on. First, I thought it might just be a power strip glitch, so I tried to troubleshoot over the phone. When that didn’t work, I had to apologize to my family and dash to my office, a 20-minute drive. I downloaded a ”new” Verifone 3750 terminal (another 20 minutes) and then rushed 45 minutes to the merchant’s place, determined to fix the problem. To my annoyance, I found out the terminal was simply unplugged. I was fuming—I’d given up my whole Sunday for something that could’ve been fixed in minutes if they’d followed my advice. But I took a breath. I explained to the employee how important it is to follow instructions, stressing my dedication to keeping our merchants up and running. I made sure the business owner heard too, showing how serious I am about our service. While the employee learned a lesson that day, the owner became a big fan of our company. In today’s tech-driven world, I worry that real dedication like mine is getting rare. The companies that truly thrive will mix tech wizardry with genuine human care. Lose that, and we lose our soul. At Payzli, this idea is ingrained in our DNA. No matter how big we get, we’ll always put personal support first. It’s the heart of everything we do. #sales #fintech #customerservice #payments #linkedin
