The merchant services callers usually ask for the person in charge of merchant services, A/R, or the manager. They often call when the business is busy, and the front desk does not have time to figure out whether the call is real. I do not want employees accidentally giving out processor or banking information. What is a practical call-handling policy?
Create a simple policy employees can follow under pressure. They should not confirm processor names, balances, card volume, bank details, owner cell numbers, or whether the owner is available. They can say: send the request by email to the company's public inbox or leave a company name, callback number, and reason for the call. Real vendors can identify themselves and follow the process. Sales callers usually move on or keep calling, but the policy protects your information and keeps staff from improvising during busy periods.
