We have spent years researching the needs of Sysops, and statistics prove that the number one way to increase users and increase profit is to make it as easy as possible for them to pay for your system. Until now there has been no easy solution to the complicated, costly and time consuming way of accepting credit cards or personal checks as payment. You may have trouble getting a merchant account, your customers may not have credit cards, they may be leery of giving these numbers out, they may have good intentions of sending you a check but never do, these obstacles are no longer a problem. Now you have an alternative, no risk, no cost, easy way to make a lot more money doing what you are already doing. This does not have to replace the system you already have, it just gives your customers a new, easy option. This is the way to attract new customers that could not or would not use your present system. By increasing the payment options, it will increase your customer base, making you more profitable. Make sure that you print, complete and return the signed contract and advertising agreement as soon as possible. Congratulations on your decision to allow TABS to do your billing and accounting work for you. Sit back and relax -- "the check is in the mail". Sincerely, Jeff Lammers Customer Service Manager *************************************************************** !!! How TABS works for Sysops !!!
