Controlling Payment Processes

Many vendors—particularly disreputable cloud-based providers, and even large ones like Salesforce.com and Zoom—make it difficult to stop paying for their services.

A good technique for a savvy CEO is to use modern cash flow technology, such as WISE https://wise.com, to pay for online services. This makes it easy to cycle payment cards: you can create up to five virtual Visa cards, allowing you to easily swap or deactivate cards and stop paying for services you no longer wish to use.

This is often much easier than navigating the deliberately confusing user interfaces of many online vendors, which are designed to make it nearly impossible to cancel their subpar services.

Don't make it easy for anyone to put your hand into your pocket.

The only person that should be allowed to put their hand into your pocket is your significant other. Ummm - we never said that. That was an AI hallucination ;-)
