SpotOn has redefined the merchant processing industry by providing powerful Marketing, Loyalty, and Review management software and mobile apps in addition to its best-in-class processing rates and equipment!
Most merchant service companies are very similar. They offer: a) lower rates and / or b) better equipment. But there’s always a catch (otherwise they don’t make money)! Typically, they make money by hiding fees that take effect after signing or by leasing equipment for lengthy terms at unnecessarily high rates (or both)! SpotOn has minimal fees, quality equipment, NO contracts, and comes with its exclusive proprietary marketing software! Provide your customers with the option to receive VIP discounts via the Spoton mobile app, social media, texting, and / or email.
A. Market back to your customers to keep them active (providing promotions for: new customers, best customers, lost customers, military customers, birthdays, holidays, etc.).
B. Easily view and manage all of your online reviews in one place!
C. Receive up-to-date analytics and reports via the mobile app!
Don’t allow other merchant service companies to rob you blind! With SpotOn, you will get: $1,000.00 payout if we can’t beat your current rates – We only need a recent merchant statement (you must process at least $750/month in volume)!
1. Contract Buy-out – We will typically buy out contracts when a business has completed at least 1/2 of the contract!
2. Month-to-month Term – There is NO contract!
3. Never pay more than a 1.89% exchange rate (volume – total fees) to process credit cards – Visa / MasterCard / Discover Card / American Express!
4. FREE Equipment – Various free terminal options are available (some equipment is available at an additional charge)!
5. FREE Virtual Terminal – Process payments from anywhere with at least one of the following internet connections: WiFi, LAN / DSL, a HotSpot, or a mobile data plan (this becomes extremely useful when your usual connection goes down)!
6. Only $25 / month for our Marketing software / Mobile Apps – The software includes: Up-to-date Analytics, Automated Marketing tools, and Online Review Management!
7. Rate Match Guarantee – We will match any future, lower bids you receive when you provide a proof of offer!
Merchant Service options include:
A. Interchange – This option charges merchants a variety of fees for all debit and credit card transactions (i.e., interchange fees, transaction fees, batch fees, etc.).
B. Surcharge (“Hybrid”) – This option charges merchants “interchange” fees for all debit card transactions while charging customers up to 4% on all credit card transactions. Notes: a) merchants cannot make a profit via surcharge, b) merchants must disclose charges at the POS, and c) merchants must disclose charges on the receipt (per the surcharge rules of January 27, 2013).
C. Cash Discount – This option charges customers up to 4% on all debit and / or all credit card transactions as a “check out fee” (usually both).
Often, other merchant processing companies purposely only explain the “Interchange” option or the “Cash Discount” option, because their specific business models capitalize on one or the other. SpotOn will explain all of your merchant service options allowing you to make the best decision for your business!

Human Capital, more commonly known as Human Resources (H.R.), is often misunderstood. Many mischaracterize H.R. as the department primarily tasked as the resident “watchdog.” In truth, H.R. refers to the most valuable asset behind any successful business, non-profit / organization, or school – the people. Charged with handling the most valuable assets, it stands to reason that H.R. departments would hold a prominent role and even be considered “the most valuable department.” Yet this is rarely, if ever, the case. Instead, H.R. departments are often relegated to handling menial administrative tasks.
Biznis Resource helps employers structure and manage their Human Capital / Resources to ensure exponential growth for their business, non-profit / organization, or school! Biznis Resource can provide any or all of the following products and services:
Fractional HR Director (Note: for small to medium-sized businesses, this option can often produce great results and huge savings)
Organizational Design (i.e., organization charts and job descriptions)
Writing / Updating Policies and Procedures Manuals
Recruiting / Interviewing / Hiring
Orientations / Trainings
Employee Compensation Packages (i.e., salary, bonuses, and other incentives)
Employee Benefits Packages (i.e., health, medical insurance, life insurance, 401(k) plans, and cafeteria plans)
Payroll (i.e., paychecks, handling taxes, and handling employee leave)
Records Management (i.e., HR data warehousing)
Self-access Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS)
Risk Management (i.e., compliance, safety, and Workers’ Compensation)
Terminations (i.e., investigations and exit interviews)
Human Resources Directors have a complicated job, because they must protect the interests of their employer and the interests of the employees. Some argue that it is impossible to do both effectively. Nevertheless, H.R. Directors often become the primary link between executives and employees.
For the employer, the H.R. Director must ensure the right people are in the right positions, provide resources to help them properly develop in their roles and responsibilities, and confirm that they are performing their prescribed job function(s).
For the employees, the H.R. Director must ensure the employer always operates professionally within the scope of its policies and procedures and labor laws.
H.R. Directors must be involved in all strategic planning with executives, which often leads to additional administrative and / or supervisory functions and duties. This is to be expected and must be encouraged / supported. As H.R. Directors are empowered, their businesses, non-profits / organizations, and schools will likewise grow and prosper.

Your brand is a crucial part of your business. First (and second) impressions are everything! What messages are your sending your potential customers (or not sending)? Biznis Resource understands the psychology behind establishing and maintaining an exciting (and accurate) brand to powerfully and effectively sell your products and/or services. Don’t make the mistake of trying to do it yourself!
The strategy behind creating an exciting (and accurate) brand begins with identifying the core purpose behind your business. You will likely identify with several or all of the following core purposes, but it’s critical to identify the primary, core purpose that motivates and describes what you do:
Social – Connecting with others (belonging)
Order – Providing Structure to the World (stability / control)
Ego – Leaving your Mark on the World (risk achievement)
Freedom – Yearning for “Paradise” (learning / freedom)
Once your core purpose is determined, it’s easier to identify the “archetype” or story that will best define your business, non-profit / organization, or school. Carl Jung, the Swiss psychiatrist / psychoanalyst outlined 12 universal archetypes useful in identifying the “story” you want to tell:
Caregiver
Ruler
Creator
Innocent
Sage
Explorer
Magician
Rebel
Hero
Lover
Jester
Everyman
Which core purpose and archetype best describe your business, non-profit / organization, or school? Don’t worry, Biznis Resource can help!
Everything behind your brand, including color schemes, fonts, artistic styles, and strategic uses will emerge from and revolve around your core purpose and archetype to ensure you are telling your unique and exciting story in the most effective way.

With yet another July 4th behind us, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the “independence” your business, non-profit / organization, or schools enjoys (or lacks). July 4th is only significant, because it marks the day our country’s founders “declared” independence from the out-dated status quo thinking / government organization of the time. The founders did not achieve independence on July 4th, they only declared it.
Three essential questions present themselves:
Is your business, non-profit / organization, or school completely free and “independent” to buck the status quo holding it back?
If not, are you ready to declare your independence TODAY to boldly face any opposition that restricts you from achieving the independence you need to follow your goals and dreams?
Once you have declared your independence from the status quo, what will be your next step? Where will you find the knowledge, wisdom, and expertise you need to ensure all of your hard work and sacrifices pay off?
Biznis Resource is THE answer. First, recognize you are not yet independent. Second, boldly “declare” your independence TODAY. Third, enlist the help of Biznis Resource to ensure you always gain more while paying less!
Just as the United States of America achieved independence and prosperity through education, wisdom, sacrifice, and hard work, so too can your business, non-profit / organization, or school achieve independence and prosperity by following the very same principles! Our founding fathers didn’t have to do it alone, and neither do you! Biznis Resource will help you get where you want / need to be and help you save critical time and money while getting there!

In 2018, there were 30.2 million small businesses in operation in the United States, accounting for 99.9% of all businesses in the country. Small businesses have a huge impact on our society, yet so many Americans choose to shop at multi-chain stores and online retailers instead. About 1 in 12 businesses close every year, with low sales being the top cause.
While shopping online may be more convenient, local neighborhood stores create the backbone of the community we live in. They help strengthen the local economy, create close-knit communities, provide better customer care, and so much more.
Here are 5 reasons why you should support small businesses and #ShopLocal today and every day:
1. Small Businesses Strengthen the Local Economy
As of 2015, 58.9 million people have been employed by small businesses in the United States. Small business owners are more likely to hire locals, so shopping at these businesses frequently creates more job opportunities. Small businesses also tend to source products locally, thus supporting fellow local businesses.
2. Small Business Owners are More Likely to Give Back to the Community
In a study by Civic Economics, “48% of each purchase at local independent businesses was recirculated locally, compared to less than 14 percent of purchases at chain stores.”
3. You Benefit from a Close-Knit Community
Whether it’s at your local coffeehouse or the hardware store around the block, shopping at neighborhood businesses gives you the opportunity to better connect with other members of your community. Cities and towns with a higher number of local businesses are proven to have stronger social ties and more participation in civic affairs.
4. You Get Personalized Customer Care
Anyone who’s shopped at multi-chain retail stores has had the experience of walking into a gigantic store, being overwhelmed, and walking out without purchasing anything because no one was around to help. On the other hand, small business owners will go the extra mile to ensure you benefit from personalized support and local expertise.
5. You Enjoy Product Diversity
Would you prefer to purchase a unique, one-of-a-kind product or one that’s owned by thousands of other people? Shopping at a local business gives you the benefit of not only getting unique products, but also access to an inventory that’s almost as exhaustive as that of a big box store.
3 easy ways you can support your local businesses:
Introduce your friends and family members to your favorite local business by giving them a gift card. This way, you’re encouraging more people around you to #ShopLocal as well.
Take a few pictures at your local businesses and promote them on social media. Make sure to tag their social handles and mention what you love so much about them.
Leave your favorite local business a positive review on Yelp / Google / Facebook. People tend to leave reviews only when they have a negative experience with a business, so do the opposite and show some love for your favorite local store and let people know why they should visit.

Dwight Eisenhower, former general and president of the United States, once famously said: “What is important is seldom urgent.” Eisenhower taught that life can be broken down into 4 simple types of tasks:
Task #1: The important and urgent – things that are critically important and immediately necessary (i.e., you’re drowning, and YOU NEED AIR).
Task #2: The important but non-urgent – things that are critically important but not immediately necessary (i.e., spending time with family)!
Task #3: The unimportant but urgent – Things that ultimately matter very little but are immediately necessary (i.e., you haven’t eaten all day and you need to eat dinner).
Task #4: The unimportant and non-urgent – Things that matter very little and are unnecessary (i.e., watching TV or browsing social media).
Which things in your life should you re-prioritize as a Task #1 or a Task #2? Set your standards high, and attack the most important tasks with full focus and meaning.

With such a wide variety of software tools clamoring for your business and so many options among them, it becomes imperative to make calculated, data-driven decisions when considering any new software adoption. You must consider the data, business goals, and your budget, to name a few key factors. A technology plan then must be developed and adopted to focus money and energy where they will provide the greatest positive impact. Once a particular software is considered vital, both the pros and cons of each option must be considered before making the final decision.
The ultimate software choice can provide a critical missing link to help your business, non-profit / organization, or school function more efficiently and effectively! Unfortunately, software chosen too hastily can prove to be a monumental disaster requiring enormous resources of time and money to repair.
By first answering these 10 questions, you can be confident you are making the “right” software decision(s) for your business, non-profit / organization, or school:
According to the data, what is your most critical need? (The most critical need is usually apparent after triangulating data sources).
What other areas of need are causing problems?
What are your business goals? Are they “S.M.A.R.T.”-oriented?
What is your budget for this software adoption? Is it realistic / conservative?
Do you need / want the new software to change your current workflow? Or do you just need the software to speed up and/or simplify your current workflow?
Is it possible to customize your current software to meet your needs / wants? Is there an integration that can improve your current system without undergoing a completely new software adoption?
Does your team have any recommendations? If so, what are they? Why?
Does your professional network have any recommendations? If so, what are they? Why?
Is there a Business Management Consultant who can help determine the answers to each of these questions and do the research behind the pros and cons of each software option? Or are you going to complete every step yourself / in-house?
What software training will be needed to ensure full implementation? Which teams / departments need to be involved in the training? How long is reasonable to train / implement the software?

Only 7 states out-pace the rest of the country in economic diversity, with Utah and Missouri leading the way (Hachman Index of Economic Diversity, 2017):
Utah (96.9)
Missouri (96.8)
Arizona (95.7)

Pennsylvania (95.5)
Georgia (95.2)
New Hampshire (95)
In short, the more diverse the economy (the higher the index score), the more stable and strong the economy is. Note: a value of 100 would mean the state’s economic activity is distributed exactly like the national average. How economically diverse is your state?

Charter school enrollment continues to climb. Yet, there are still a lot of questions and misunderstandings surrounding the differences between charters, private, and traditional schools.
The differences between charter schools, private schools, and traditional public schools are really quite simple. Charter Schools are public schools granted a “charter” by a state or university to specialize in a particular area of focus (i.e., academics / college prep., athletics / dance, military prep., musical / theater arts, etc.). Charter Schools still have to follow all state laws and rules pertaining to traditional public schools and are funded by the state and federal government (charter schools are free). Private schools do not have to follow any state or federal laws and rules.
Thinking about placing a student in a charter school or private school? Biznis Resource can help!
A few additional distinctions between charter schools and traditional public schools are:
Charter Schools typically limit class size to 25 or fewer students.
Charter School Principals or Directors usually function as the “superintendent” by interacting directly with the school’s Board of Directors.
Charter School Boards operate similarly to traditional school boards, only they typically focus on 1 school.
Charter School Boards and administrators are accountable to State School Boards and State Superintendents.
What has been your experience? Do you have questions or concerns? Need help finding a good charter school or private school to suit your family and student(s)?
