NUFF SAID! And Wayne said it....

Awesome first MG Weekly Wrap-up call last night!  There were 16 of us on the call, ranging from Heavenly Hawaii ( Mike Orozco and Chris Contreras) to Wisconsin, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Georgia and California!!  WOW.  Now THAT'S a spread.

MG Agents Wayne and Angelia Harrington did a great job of sharing how they have transitioned from clueless consumers to MERCHANT ADVOCATES in just a couple of short weeks.  Their merchant stories -- from the first one their first week as Agents to the last one on Friday at noon -- show what a great benefit MG is to merchants.

Their top tip for working with merchants:  when you get one active, BE SURE THEY CALL IN TO THEIR EPI SERVICE NUMBER.  Finding out they have real life support available to them 24/7/365 gets 'em every time.

Their top tip for Agents:  just contact merchants and don't worry about making mistakes.  They say they've made several (wrong apps, for example) but everything can be corrected.  They mailed out some of the tri-fold brochures that we all have and 5 of their merchants came from there!  (so guess who's mailing today!)

Here's some more from Wayne (continued from Saturday blog):

Now let’s talk equipmen.   Since I was in the heavy construction business each piece of equipment  cost from $90k to $320k. In my particular case about $2.5 million invested in equipment. Now for the small equipment needed, trucks, trailers, tools, Nextel ,engineering tools, and many others. This estimated to be an additional $250k.   OK time to talk about employees. Office personnel, Engineer, estimator, mechanic, several operators and drivers plus a supervisor.

Somewhere down the line comes a CPA, and an Attorney. Next is capitol to operate until the payday starts and capital to purchase the materials and fuel needed to perform the job usually runs around $150k. Capitol needed for payroll for a minimum of 90 days.

 

FOLKS!  Listen, all this must be in place before a project can be bid. Once the contract is complete the headaches really start.  Worrying, stress, deadlines, inspections, collection, breakdowns, conflicts, employees, inflation, thefts and many more…Estimated profit margin 5 to 7 %.

The point of all this is most people don’t have a clue what it takes to start and maintain a new business. Let’s compare for a short second. 

MERCHANT GUARD IS A $195.OO OUTLAY  AND THAT COVERS TUITION.   YOU ARE NOW IN BUSINESS WITH NO EMPLOYEES, NO EQUIPMENT, NO BOSSES, NO DEADLINES, NO CAPITAL,AND ALL THE OTHER EXPENSES THAT ARE REQUIRED BY “NORMAL” BUSINESSES.  

INSTEAD OF HAVING SLEEPLESS NIGHTS YOU CAN NOW GO TO BED WITH THE THOUGHTS THAT SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE IS SWIPING A CARD THAT PAYS YOU WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING.  

YOU ARE COMPLETEDLY SUPPORTED BY A STRONG , SOUND AND ESTABLISHED COMPANY. Believe me, there is no comparison…………………

Thanks,

Wayne Harrington
