Goodbye US Post Office

STOP relying on the US Post Office for your payments

Now more than ever, you should STOP relying on the US Post Office to send out your invoices and to receive prompt payments from clients! Here's one MORE reason why-http://bit.ly/10OCF56-our mail is about to get even slower, even if Saturday delivery is preserved. Go electronic using custom methods that suit you, and your payments will speed up. Many clients prefer to use electronic methods as well. I can show you how you can accommodate them.

Adoption Adaption

This week's spotlight is on Jewish Family Service. one of whose programs is a full-service domestic or international child adoption service.

The staff at JFS could not be more sincere in their desire to help couples adopt children. The experience was so favorable that a friend who used the JFS adoption services became a Board Member and cannot say enough about how well it all went.

Experienced, consultative, supportive and professional, JFS guides couples along the way, making a vulnerable emotional time much more enjoyable.

They remain engaged as the new parents adapt, the child flourishes and the agency has performed its mitzvah (good deed) for couples of all faiths and backgrounds.

What could be better? Encourage friends and family members thinking of adopting to contact JFS by phone at 203.366.5438 or via the website. Adoption and adaption all under one roof.

Green B2B invoicing and payments

Business invoicing has just gotten “greener,” resulting in more cash in a new, easy way to electronically send an invoice and receive payment, while conserving our natural resources. Beat the recession.

We just launched a new service called greinvoice, which allows businesses to send invoices to their clients by email, with a link on the email to open the invoice on the recipient’s screen, at which time they can pay the invoice by electronic check or credit card…no postage, paper, envelope or trash.

We brought together three best-in-class vendors in this unique service to handle invoicing and payments in a secure online environment. Additionally, we are pleased to be able to help the environment by reducing trash and simultaneously help our clients receive payment faster.

Perhaps we are ahead of the technology curve (as usual), but the simple economics of rising postage rates (announcement today of another one penny rate increase in May) and escalating paper costs and the looming recession make the focus on cash flow even more imperative. Our lower cost to use technology to deliver invoices and receive payment makes more sense now than ever.

We have shown companies, e-commerce sites and nonprofit organizations of all sizes, locally and nationwide, many other ways to improve their cash flow using new technologies and reduce the administrative effort and expense.

See the website, http://www.greinvoice.com/ and let us know how we can help you get more green (pun intended!)

White Paper on the new law in CT

Here is a link to the white paper we have just completed analyzing the effect of the new law in Connecticut on businesses and organizations doing business here:

http://marchalpert.googlepages.com/WhitePaperoct07.pdf

In a nutshell, the law states that if your organization or company is the source of a breach of personal data of any customer, you can be held financial liable to correct the banking loss of that person and his/her banks. Connecticut is the second state in the nation to enact such a law.

Please pass this to anyone who can benefit from it. They need to know the ways to remedy their exposure. Let us know if you have any questions.
