Taking advantage of the summer months can be a hugely beneficial strategy for business owners. During this season, people are generally more relaxed and have extra time off from work, which means they're often more willing to wander, explore, and try new things. This is the perfect environment to introduce your business to new customers who are in the mood to spend. Moreover, summer brings with it a host of local tourists and visitors, potentially increasing the foot traffic to areas near attractions, parks, and leisure spots. Tapping into this vibrant summer energy can not only increase immediate sales but also help build longer-term customer relationships as people remember the positive experiences they had at your store during their leisurely summer days.

Have you ever found yourself in the thick of business, twirling in the dance of pricing your products or services? I remember it like it was yesterday, the whirlwind of decision-making, the fear of setting a price too high or too low. It's a dance I stepped into without knowing the moves, especially after stepping away from the safety net of a franchise model. Let me tell you, navigating the open waters of independent pricing felt like charting unknown territories without a map. That's why my recent chat with Per, the Price Whisperer, on the Receipt Paper Podcast felt like uncovering a treasure trove of wisdom I wish I had from the start.
Per, with his globe-trotting business experience and a knack for pricing that’s nothing short of magical, has run companies not just in Europe but primarily in the US, dabbling in business across over 40 countries. He's the maestro of pricing, turning experiments into symphonies of success, with some strategies boosting revenue by a staggering 25% in just one quarter! After 15 years and almost 1000 elated clients later, Per has refined a process that turns every pricing experiment into a triumph. He's not just a leader; he's THE thought-leader in transforming companies and driving unparalleled business results through masterful pricing strategies.

On this episode we're diving into a topic that, if I'm being completely honest, baffled me when I first embarked on my entrepreneurial journey: payment processing. It's one of those crucial elements of business that often flies under the radar until you realize just how vital it is to your success.
I remember feeling like I was in over my head when it came to choosing a payment processor for my business. There were so many options, and I had no idea what I was looking for. I wanted something reliable, user-friendly, and, most importantly, a system that allowed me to keep my hard earned money. That's why I am thrilled to have Jeff Main on the show today, a true pioneer in the payment processing world.
