Point of Sale/EMV Workshops & Speaking Schedule

So I am starting to line up some speaking events for 2015. I'll share details as everything is finalized but wanted to let folks know that I am including more about EMV in my workshop presentations as EMV is something that all of us will have to address before the EMV Liability Shift Date takes place in October of 2015 (in the United States).

The point of sale workshops that I conduct are completely vendor neutral and can be scaled to run anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes. Here are the main topics that I cover in the workshops:

1. Differences between mobile and computer-based point of sale systems
2. How to select the right point of sale system
3. Common "gotchas" to avoid
4. EMV and Merchant Services
5. How to determine your point of sale "budget"
6. How to use a weighted point spreadsheet to make a final purchase decision

Again, all of this is conducted in a vendor neutral environment (not a sales pitch at all) and folks leave the workshop with actual data and information they can use to find the best point of sale system for their business or organization.

Are you  in the US and in need of no cost retail point of sale advice?  I'm happy to help and can be reached on my cell at 208-340-5632 (I am on Mountain Time) or via email at kevinantosh@gmail.com. There is also a contact form to the right that can be used to reach me.

Anyone Headed to MAGIC or IFA in Vegas Next Week?

So - I tried to clear my schedule due to several requests that I attend MAGIC and IFA in Las Vegas next week (Feb 17th - 19th 2015 for Magic at the Las Vegas Convention Center and Feb 15th-18th 2015 for IFA at the MGM Grand) but I was unable to clear my schedule.

I was, however, able to connect with some folks who will be in Vegas next week and have offered to buy dinner for anyone that is searching for a retail point of sale system.

Be sure to contact me for an invitation and more information!

Workshops, Trade Shows and Expos

As you may have read in the past, I have conducted point of sale workshops at various trade shows, expos, and organizations across the US over the years. I wanted to let folks know that I am still available to do this. I would ask for travel compensation if the event is outside of the Boise, ID area. My workshops can be scaled to run anywhere from 45 minutes to 3 hours and these are NOT sales presentations.

Again – these are point of sale workshops - not a sales pitch but valid advice as well as a budget related “takeaway”.

I have found the workshops to be best presented for groups in the following situations:

· Trade Shows and Expos that are attended by retail store owners
· Annual conferences for museum organizations
· Annual meetings/events for retail franchise store owners
· Annual meetings/events for retail franchise businesses
· Meetings where a board or group needs help with selecting a point of sale solution
