B2B Social Network And Leading Consulting Firms Partnering to Serve ISOs and Banks
Atlanta, GA (May 5, 2011) – Today, Company.com announces it is partnering with The Strawhecker Group (TSG) and Double Diamond Group (DDG), in which both leading consulting organizations will enhance the resources delivered to their ISO and bank customers.
Company.com will provide TSG and DDG customers access to the Company.com marketplace where businesses have access to qualified business services providers including business loans, Voip telecom, web hosting, large equipment leasing, access to capital, payroll processing and other business services in the marketplace as well as ISO loan availability to help their business operations grow. In addition, merchant customers of ISOs and banks will have the option of building a business profile, inviting interested parties to follow them, and gain access to new markets by leveraging the integrated partner-marketing platform, free of charge.
In addition to providing marketing and promotional support, TSG and DDG will extend their mission of advising the payments industry’s top companies, by helping the merchants of their clients participate in Company.com and sharing their extensive insight into how to overcome the many business challenges facing the business owner.
“To have the high caliber experience that TSG and DDG bring to the acquiring and transaction processing industry to be a part of Company.com, especially at the launch of our new B2B social network, is very exciting. These partnerships bode well for TSG and DDG’s customers’ merchants, gaining access to, and benefiting from, the wide range of business services offered through Company.com to help them save money and make money. Most merchants will achieve this through their access to our members by establishing recommendation partnerships.” Said Bill Wade, CEO of Company.com.
TSG and DDG join Company.com as the company optimizes its new B2B social network that is designed to meet the critical needs of the small to mid-sized business, specifically gaining more customers, making smarter purchasing decisions, and leveraging expert guidance and advice to grow more effectively.
Kurt Strawhecker, co-founder and President of TSG, stated, “TSG is excited to extend the features of Company.com to our clients as we believe that social media needs a platform that can help companies find new customers. For those businesses looking to do more with social media and become more “viral,” Company.com allows subscribers to publish out news, deals, promotions and other announcements out to their business’s followers, Facebook fan page, and Twitter feed simultaneously. The people who follow a business can do the same.”
“Our clients are always seeking new, creative ways to offer business services that complement their core product offerings, and the Company.com marketplace delivers just that,” said Todd Ablowitz, founder and President of DDG. “Leveraging a B2B social network is the cutting edge way merchant providers can add value to their merchants while minimizing attrition. This opportunity rides a powerful trend that will continue to grow exponentially.”
