Meet Shawn
After working more than a decade in payment processing, Shawn became frustrated with the lack of customer service he was witnessing; a trend adopted by those businesses who clearly cared more about appeasing shareholders than pleasing customers. He decided to launch Merchant Service Consultants as an alternative for those who still valued relationships as much as they valued profits, and the response was as immediate as it was positive.
Today, Shawn’s commitment to fair and transparent pricing, unmatched support and a true focus on ensuring your business has the right-fit tools for your needs is what makes him and his team so much more than an equipment provider.
Rest assured, those you choose to work with Merchant Service Consultants are treated to the type of superior service that ensures no stone is left unturned in the pursuit of your complete and total satisfaction.
A New Way of Doing Things
Shawn took his financial services experience — and his frustrations — and used them to create a new system designed to better serve better business; one with high-tech equipment and an old-school philosophy.
Adopting a “clients come first” mentality across everything Merchant Services Consultants do, Shawn is leading a change towards honest entrepreneurial service providers, challenging the dominance of major corporations and promoting transparency for merchants and their costs.
“I don’t want to be your one-year guy; I want to be your forever guy. I want to be invited to family weddings and featured in your Holiday newsletter! I see a greater vision for merchant services and any other business that is tired of the status quo and excited by the opportunity to evolve. My core values are such that I don’t take advantage of people; I take advantages to the people. Come get your healthy dose of integrity, education, fun, and a whole lot of connectivity.” - Shawn

The Personal Touch
Building a relationship starts with a conversation that leads to a true connection.
Shawn comes to the table with a mix of experience, empathy, and relentless eye contact; ensuring he completely understands your business before he makes any assumptions about how his services can address your needs, goals and personal preferences.
In your first no-obligation meeting, Shawn will conduct a thorough review of your processing statements in an effort to identify ways to save you time and money – from thousands to $100k, within days.
Shawn's focus goes beyond rates to ensure you understand how Clover’s equipment streamlines operations to save you and your operations both time and money.
It's about building a relationship on trust, transparency, and mutual respect, and regardless of the go-forward, you better believe you will have a friend in Shawn, for life (whether you need it or not).
“My biggest goal in every meeting I take is to educate people; empowering them to make advantageous choices for themselves. I like to see my clients get excited about saving money, and I love nothing more than the postcards I get from the vacation they took thanks to those savings.” - Shawn

Shawn has been excellent to deal with from the beginning. He is very responsive and we have great communication. We originally switched to save on fees but the Clover product has also been exceptional. We have rolled this out to all our offices. Thanks Shawn!!!

Clover is the best credit card terminal in the marketplace! We have tried many and Clover has yet to disappoint! It is loved by our staff members as well as our clients! The Clover desktop is the perfect backup to run payments if ever there is a need.
Ashley Watt
I really can't say enough positive things about how happy I have been with Merchant Services Consultants and Shawn. If you are looking for someone to explain the often confusing world of credit card processing fees as well as help you reduce the fees you are paying — then you should really talk with Shawn. Shawn has shown a specific and keen interest in my business and has offered me solutions to save money, make my processing easier, and also made some valuable introductions to other small business owners.

DEVOUR CATERING
Shawn is great because he cares about how to help me grow my business. My merchant fee has been reduced by half. It's worth it to call him and have a second opinion on your current services. You will be surprised how many fees were there and you didn't know about it before. Shawn always keeps in touch and makes me aware of the new features that can help me grow my business even more. As a business owner getting one less thing to worry about is a blessing.
