Franchise Payments Network Launches New Agent Program for 2009. Franchise Industry Technology Supplier Provides Additional Income Opportunity for Franchise Sales Professionals

Orlando, FL (February 2009) – Franchise Payments Network (FPN), the only comprehensive electronic payments processing company to focus solely on the franchise industry, has announced the launch of its Agent Program. The new initiative is intended to give seasoned franchise sales professionals the opportunity to earn additional income through the sale of FPN’s systems to franchise owners operating in a wide variety of industries nationwide.

“Our new Agent Program is a viable opportunity for franchise sales executives to augment their income while the economy turns itself around,” said Thomas Epstein, president and CEO of Franchise Payments Network. “As we continue to provide our services exclusively to franchise systems, we are looking to partner with sales professionals who share our knowledge of the franchise space.”

FPN’s customized lines of service include merchant cash advance, credit and debit processing, ATM placement, Automated Royalty Transaction (ART), PCI Security Testing, and wireless processing.

FPN has earned the endorsement of more than 90 franchise brands since the company was launched in 2006 and FPN’s services are gaining popularity throughout the franchise community. Organizations from around the country are requesting FPN’s assistance to help get their systems up and running. Building on this momentum, FPN is looking for franchise professionals who may have been displaced due to cut backs in staffing.

“This program creates career opportunities for people who know the business of franchising, while benefiting FPN clients and contributing to our company’s expansion plans.” added Epstein.

According to Epstein, an ideal candidate for the Agent program is someone with both proven franchise experience and superior selling ability that can effectively communicate the benefits of FPN’s services. As they network with their close franchisor and franchisee contacts within the industry, agents of the program will be fully supported with training and marketing materials that will assist them in the selling process.
