JLE Consultants: The future of merchant services

5/25/2017

Let’s start with basics, these guys can handle everything your business needs to accept payment. After sitting down with Jeff Smith, I now know more about merchant account processing than google. He really knows his field and has it down to a science, combining multiple services to build our advertising payment platform into exactly what we needed. Not only is it simple to use but it’s also secure. It’s likely these days that your small business is a target of hackers, and while that’s always a scary thought you should always take precautions when handling any kind of customer information. They’ve got tons of products to make accepting electronic payments easier: terminals, virtual terminals, POS systems, and more.

Going through the process was a breeze, after going over our current rates and redesigning our structure we figured out the best solution for our needs. We ultimately decided on a virtual terminal since we have no intention of ever swiping a card, making a terminal or pos system useless. After that was all set up he helped us out with a management system that is so easy to use we hired a 4 year old to use it. He also informed us about a new industry technique called P2PE that utilizes an encryption and tokenization process that makes customer information nearly impossible to steal. In today’s world that is huge. It seems as if every week or so we see another major retailer releasing statements that their data has been breached. If they had JLE on their side, these things wouldn’t happen so often.

After talking for a while Jeff really proved to me that JLE really is the evolution of merchant services. With 24/7 customer service, and not just a 1-800 number I mean real customer service, why would you use anyone else? If you’ve got a business give them a call, you’d be surprised what you may not know.

Veleska Jewelry: Expert artisans

After getting the grand tour of Veleska’s showroom and studio all I can say is WOW! So many beautiful pieces and such a massive variety I find it hard to believe they don’t have exactly what you’re looking for. But if they don’t you’re still in luck, I would venture to say that their artists are the absolute best that Lancaster County has to offer. I’m no jewelry expert but I was completely blown away by their custom work, I specifically remember this one ring…

Picture
I believe it was a 2 carat diamond in a white gold ring. I can’t even describe it. As hard as I’ve tried to put it into words nothing does it justice. Truly magnificent jewelry and the experience to back up their quality. I honestly knew nothing about jewelry walking into Veleska, and now I can tell you all about the 4Cs of diamond grading. Cut, Clarity, Color, and Carat weight. Do I know how to grade a diamond? Absolutely not, but Veleska certainly does!

Ok now let’s talk about that thing no guy is really ever ready for but your girlfriend is going to ask about until you ask her… Engagement rings. Now I (like a majority of men) had no idea what I was doing when it comes to engagement rings. Kathryn at Veleska helped completely de-mystify the entire process and made choosing a design/cut/diamond such a fun experience. She really understood that I didn’t know what I was doing and walked me through every step from choosing a band design, band material, diamond cut, even letting me choose my own diamond. While I was waiting for her to mock something up to give me a really good idea at what I was I walked around their showroom to see what else they offered. I stumbled across their Trollbeads display and realized that they had a better version of the pandora bracelet I had purchased for Valentine's day. Much better quality and you definitely won’t be overpaying at Veleska either.

Timeless styles and the best service you’ll ever receive. There’s no reason to shop anywhere but Veleska Jewelry. Check them out at: http://www.veleska.com/

Willie's Paving: Paving of higher standards

Since 2000 Willie’s paving has been dedicated to providing south central PA with the best paving services around. As the area’s PennDOT certified paving contractor there’s very few people who could keep up with their work. ​

Everyone has or knows of a neighbor who’s been burned by some paving contractor or seal-coater running some “I have some extra left over from the house up the street” skimp job deal. These guys are far more professional than that going above and beyond industry standards to really ensure customer satisfaction. It’s rare in any industry to see such a huge value placed on customer service and satisfaction let alone in any home service/construction business. You can tell that these guys actually care, and they wouldn’t be paving Walmart parking lots if they weren’t stellar pavers too.
Picture
There’s not much else we can really say, I think the general population understand what an asphalt paving contractor does… I will mention however that Willie’s family has been in the paving business for 4 generations, and they’ve certainly built an outstanding reputation within our community.

Johnny Payroll: your last payroll guy ever

5/4/2017

If you ever have the pleasure of meeting John you’re in for a fantastic time. He’s definitely a character but only in the best ways. Such a blast to be around and even better to work with. Payroll, HR, management, if it’s related to your employees he can probably help. John is with Kelly & Associates based out of Maryland, and not only is John great but so is the whole Kelly team. So let’s break it down to give you a better idea of how he can help your business.

Payroll, yes it sucks doing payroll yourself. So stop doing it. Give Johnny Payroll a call and he’ll fix you up. The even better thing is that you know who’s going to pick up the phone whenever you need to call in. It’s John every time not some 1-800 number that we all hate. On top of that the price is unbeatable. They say “experience the Kelly difference” and I’ll tell you: the difference is huge. ​
Picture
Don’t you wish you had an HR department so you didn’t have to figure everything out on your own? Employee handbooks, policies, general resources, the list could literally go on for 10 more lines so we’ll cut it short. Point being: John will help make your life so easy and your business run so smooth you can pretty much retire once you hire him.
Picture
What’s the best way to keep employees happy? Other than good wages, it’s benefits! If I had benefits at my last job I’d probably still work there. Healthy employees are happy employees, and happy employees are the most productive. So even from a business owner’s side it’s better to have than not, productive employees make you more money which completely offsets the cost in most cases. We’ll cut it off here, but if you’re unhappy with your current payroll/hr/benefits company you NEED to get in touch with Johnny Payroll.
