Mark first contacted me when I was looking for an agent or ISO to partner up with.
At first he was nice & somewhat of a hoot, but after several e-mails, I started to get turned off by his clipped communicate style both in e-mail & on the phone. Not that I want to talk for hours, but I everything always felt rushed with him.
When I sent him my word doc he didn’t read it over & fill it out which is disrespectful & I should have just stopped the communication there, but I didn’t. My mistake.
Then when he started e-mailing me with no subject lines (I hate it when people are so uneducated they do that) I got further irked. But I would have ignored all of that, but something was just off about him. I’d hear from him one week, then nothing, then 3 weeks later I’d suddenly hear from him with a one lined e-mail.
Then when he started to argue with me because I didn’t want to go aggregated to place any MMJ accounts. His need to put me down totally turned me off & I didn’t want to deal with him anymore. After I told him I have a real MMJ account, His words were, “Let’s see what it gets you.:)”
Maybe he was joking, but I was getting sick of the “know it all” attitude. That “insecure put everyone else down to make yourself seem smart” attitude that doesn’t work with me.
The last straw is when I started looking for a new partner again after the last one AGAIN promised to get my leads an account & after 2 1/2 weeks I finally realized he was full of it. Mark saw my thread & suddenly wanted all my high risk accounts except for the adult ones even though his last e-mail said he could place adult.
I told him very nicely I don’t feel this is a good fit. That of course got him upset. How dare SHE reject me. This seems to be a common theme with Merchant account agents or ISOs, they can’t handle rejection even if it’s polite.
His words were, “How do you figure? So far you have not been a good fit for anyone? Tell me what you have. So far you’ve got nothing. I’ve been nothing but open and honest with you.”
Again with his putting me down which is EXACTLY one reason why I didn’t want to deal with him before. I said this is exactly why I don’t want to deal with you, the way you talk to me.
Whether he was honest or not before I have no idea since I never actually partnered up with him, but I find it suspicious that one month he can take adult & the next time he e-mails me he can’t. AND in my Word doc it specifically says a lot of my leads may be adult.
I asked him NOT to e-mail me back, but he couldn’t resist criticizing me again with, ” You are on your way to nowhere. Good luck, ” so that’s why he’s on here now.
