To add fuel to the argument for acceptance of CC's, the aggravation of having to chase people for money spills over to the rest of the day and doesn't make for a very pleasant work day.
Fortunately, most of my work is business-to-business, with a relatively small group of regular customers. Not much trouble getting paid.
On the occasions where someone asks if I accept credit cards, I have them sent an email payment to my Paypal account.

I started accepting credit cards years ago when I saw I was losing some business that amounted to more than the fees. I have never looked back.
During Christmas we used to hit 50% of sales in credit cards, now during normal months the charge/debit cards amount to 50%, Christmas is much higher. Dealing with government accounts is so much easier. It is also a safer feeling to not have to carry that much cash around from the store, and we have to make less trips to the bank.

Fewer trips to the bank is a bonus another of my friends attributes to his preference to accept credit cards.
Originally, as with others we've heard from, he was against the concept.
