About Me

I’m Eli Sadownick, an independent sales agent for Merchant Industry.

I spent over 25 years as a healthcare management consultant for a multi-billion-dollar company before I was laid off after the dot-com bust of 2000. After a stint as a marketing consultant, I decided I needed to find another way to earn and answered an ad on Craig’s List for a telemarketing job in the credit card industry. The people I met were interesting and had a good organization, so I stuck around. I started by making phone calls to solicit statements and was promoted to sales in 4 months. I’ve been selling credit card processing ever since. That was nearly 14 years ago.

Do You Have Any of These Problems?

What I like about this business is that it gets me in front of all sorts of people and gives me an opportunity to help small businesses solve some of their problems. And when a business has a problem with its credit card processing, it can really hurt: whether it’s a terminal that stops working; the realization that the fees they’re paying every month have been creeping up for no apparent reason; someone sold them a POS system that doesn’t quite perform as promised; or they want to do some renovation but their credit is too poor to get a bank loan or they’ve got good credit, but the paperwork approval will take a month longer than they’re willing to wait; or they’re kept on hold for nearly an hour when they call customer service

How I Can Help?

I can help with all those things, such as: a terminal that uses the latest technology, including, for example, near-field communication so customers can tap and pay, a mobile phone swiper or an Internet gateway for ecommerce transactions; lower rates or, perhaps, no monthly fees at all; a POS system specifically tailored to their business; or a cash advance that’s repaid off their credit card receipts – with no penalties for late payments, and even — sometimes — no interest. All with rapid, responsive customer service.

I’m married with three grown children. My wife and I celebrated out 36th anniversary in March of 2023. We live in an over 55 community in Central NJ. I look forward to hearing from you to see how I can help you get a better deal on your credit card processing and improve your bottom line.
