Message from the CEO:

 

First Data Presidents Club Award; WE MADE IT!

 cp sham   

Thanks to all of our hard working staff and loyal clients, Chosen Payments was honored to receive the First Data President's Club Award for 2012. CP was selected number 2 out of all companies in the United States to be recognized in our specific growth category with First Data. This recognition proves the stellar growth of our company and the constant dedication we put back in to the success of this company.

The congratulatory event was awarded through an all-inclusive trip to Maui, with a beautiful awards ceremony overlook the ocean. Physically receiving this award glued a piece to the puzzle in place and provides one of the most gratifying experiences I have ever received.

As the CEO of Chosen Payments I am humbled by this experience and will continue to dedicate my personal time and efforts into Chosen Payments growth in 2013. This was a goal that I set out for myself and the company just 18 months ago and watching it all happen right before my eyes was by far one of the most rewarding feelings I could have dreamt of. By continuing to foster strong relationships with all our staff and partners, as well as maintaining personal relationships with our clients I have no doubt that Chosen Payments will far exceed our 2012 success carrying through 2013.

In light of St. Patrick's Day, I hope you all wore your chosen green and enjoyed some green beer!

I thank my entire company from the executives down to the new employees for being a valuable asset to CP, which helped us to accomplish this award. I personally thank all of our loyal clients and partners for allowing CP the opportunity to be your provider and partner in success!

Until next time,

HTI One Voice Conference; a Success!

Chosen Payments attends another successful show! Michael Lepore Senior Consultant for CP and CEO Jeff Brodsly spent a few days in cold Chicago educating and mingling with the HTI community during the international home + housewares show. After attending many shows nationwide CP returned from the show with great success in many ways. As a valued partner to our buying group partners we strive to offer additional value for each member which essentially increases the overall value of the group itself. This year we were given the opportunity to have a round table discussion for all HTI members to attend and become educated on some of the "hot topics" in the merchant processing industry. This allowed members to feel confident in having a partner that can deliver not only cost savings methods however the ability to better understand this aspect of their business. CP thanks HTI for their efforts in this event and for always ensuring their members are getting the very best there is! We look forward to the next event!
