Helping service managers discover payment solutions for their auto dealerships is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. If I can address a dozen or so in one place, then I’ve increased the odds of finding personal satisfaction that many times. A recent meeting of the San Diego GM Retail Service Manager’s Club, a division of the New Car Dealers Association San Diego County, offered such an opportunity.

A Payment Services Problem Solver

on Thu, Aug 02, 2012 @ 10:20 AM By | Charles Dortch III | 0 Comments | Charles Dortch III CrossCheck
I don’t really consider myself a salesperson. When I’m out on the road I get approached by people who ask me what exactly it is that I do. Despite some extra midsection pounds, some people think I’m either a former or current athlete. Some think I’m an actor. Others think I’m in radio.

You may think I sell check guarantee services or remote deposit capture processing, but what I really do is provide solutions to help retailers increase business, simplify their back-office accounting, improve cash flow and, in turn, provide solutions to their customers.
