Classic Sales Tactics That Still Work

This week’s Merchant Sales Podcast is a special throwback episode. While on vacation, James revisited one of his favorite sales training recordings from nearly a decade ago—back when he was personally walking into businesses every day and building a portfolio of more than 700 merchant accounts. In this short but practical episode, James shares timeless field sales techniques for approaching business owners, building instant rapport, handling real-world prospecting scenarios, and making stronger first impressions. Whether you're new to merchant services or have been selling for years, these foundational strategies are just as relevant today.
