SAINT AUGUSTINE, FLA. (PRWEB) JULY 21, 2020

Indeflex, a cutting-edge business consulting and merchant services FinTech, is excited to announce the addition of industry veteran sales trainer Mischa Redmond to the team. Mr. Redmond has been in the payments space for 20 years and previously built two payments companies from scratch with a combined residual of over $150k per month. Mischa started at Card Payment Solutions as an agent, and worked his way to becoming a regional manager, and then started TRG Payment Solutions.

With no prior experience, Redmond entered the payments industry in 2006 and swiftly became the number one agent in the nation. He established the Redwoods company, building it to over 5,000 accounts and processing over 60MM a month within seven years.

During the past two years, Mischa worked at SpotOn as the VP of Training and Product, where he built their region from no accounts to 1,800 in two years with a monthly revenue stream of over 30MM in just under two years, while still doing all national training duties. Mischa has personally sold over 4,300 merchant accounts over his tenured career. “There is an energy that you instantly feel the minute he walks in the room, pops up on a zoom call, or is the voice on the other end of the phone. Mischa has been successful in all facets of our industry. His integrity and passion to help others do the same is unsurpassed,” says Indeflex Managing Partner Phil Krivacek.

Today, Redmond trains some of the most highly respected sales talent in the industry, consults for multiple ISO’s, hits the field with new salespeople and speaks across the U.S. on a multitude of stages, and has now joined the Indeflex team as the lead trainer for their rapidly growing group of nationwide sales partners. Mischa says, “I feel that Indeflex is in the right place at just the right time. Their ownership group has the experience to navigate these challenging times, they always put their best forward, and most importantly they operate with high ethics and integrity.”

KORE Payments and Indeflex Innovate to Help Businesses During COVID-19

Saint Augustine, FLA. (PRWEB) April 14, 2020

Indeflex, a cutting-edge financial technology firm with offices nationwide, is adapting to the new needs of businesses amidst the Coronavirus Pandemic by partnering with smart sales teams like KORE Payments to deliver mobile and web payment solutions. “The partnership is allowing us to get creative to help merchants impacted by COVID-19.” said Nick Korthals, CEO of KORE Payments. Backed by Indeflex’s unique set of business management and marketing tools, partners like KORE Payments can thrive while others regroup. “Indeflex provides concierge-level service and cutting-edge technology to our sales partners nationwide, which allows them to innovate during times like this to maximize their success,” said Phil Krivacek, Managing Partner at Indeflex.

As businesses worldwide face increasingly stringent social distancing policies due to the spread of COVID-19, local companies are having to adapt and move their traditional pickup and delivery options online. “Business owners have had to close, or are struggling to make takeout and curbside service work. So, for all businesses, it’s more important than ever to save money,” Nick Korthals said.

As part of their new strategy, KORE Payments is offering free mobile terminals and online ordering portals for their customers. “This is a huge advantage for merchants who do not want to lose a big portion of their profits from customers paying through Uber Eats or a similar service, which charges a substantial percentage of each sale. By cutting out the middle man for the business owner, they can handle their orders in-house, and they don’t lose that huge chunk of the ticket price,” says Nick. Phil Krivacek, the Managing Partner at Indeflex, says, “The business owner’s number one assets are their cash flow and customers. By offering as many options as possible for customers to make the purchase, it allows these businesses to stay open and maintain their customer base. That could mean the difference between businesses reopening their doors or having to close after this is all over.”
