FROM THE INBOX:

Just had great text from one of our top agents and got to thinking how grateful we are to have MG. After a lifetime in business, we have found the Perfect Thing!

 Here is my thought for Friday: Write down things I am thankful that I NO LONGER HAVE. 

Like: NO mortgage payment NO car and motorcycle payment NO credit card debt NO health problems NO traditional biz NO employees NO marriage problems NO debt NO kids or gr kids dependent on us NO SHORTAGE OF GREAT FRIENDS LIKE U!   God has gotten us through a lot and I am truly thankful!   Mike 

Love those grandkids!

 Subtitle:  "A merchant account is where you find it..."

Many of u know that we have been growing Paulownia Trees for past 4 1/2 years (website is Worldsfastestgrowingtrees.us). We get inquiries from all over the USA and from around the world.
Yesterday had call from lady in  Texas and called her back.
She has 7 trees in a nursery setup and has done lots of research on these trees.

As I always do, asked what they do for living. She told me she is computer programmer and husband owns car dealership and they are entrepreneurial folks.
    I had to ask:   Do u take credit cards?

After another 15 minutes, her hot button was hit and emailed her simple options on our MG opportunity.

Each of us come across folks EVERY day that might be interested.  JUST ASK AND U MIGHT RECEIVE.

"Oh my goodness.   John was not just whistling Dixie. When he said  the new EPI POS terminals were awesome.   Welcome  to the Big  Boy  World.  We are going to be so welcomed in with open  arms  with product. I can't  wait  to place it in a merchants place of business  to see the  envy of the others.  Guess you  can tell I love it.

Please note that we are not recommending any business card right now -- if you create one using the MG logo be sure to run it past MG Marketing for approval.  WE RECOMMEND using one of the editable flyers for maximum effect.

With the recent additions to MG some of the flyers or a BP that got posted to the 'net a few months ago is no longer accurate.

WITH MERCHANT GUARD, FREE MEANS FREE:

An MG Agent ran across another tablet form-POS vendor that advertises 'start for free' and has packages for $39/$59/$199 monthly.  I scoured their website: found out that the fee is JUST for the terminal -- it works with (read "in addition to") a limited number of processors!!

Our superior unit IS FREE. 

We GUARD the merchant!

QUESTION:  What drives our economy?

ANSWER:  We do!

**************

TWO TRUTHS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MERCHANT GUARD:

1. We ABSOLUTELY can save merchants money -- NO hidden fees or bill padding (like they are getting from their present processor).
2. The residual payout in this industry is worth every effort you make: already we are hearing from Agents who have only 1 or 2 merchants that their residual check is bigger than they've ever gotten from anything they've ever done.

**************

John's sample letter to prospects:

Many entrepreneurs are attracted to the opportunity to sell credit card processing because of the potential for residual income. You build a portfolio of merchants who pay you a residual every month. This is a powerful model enabling a sales person to build thousands in recurring monthly income. Some of the top performers make between $20,000 - $500,000 per month! Too good to be true? We are happy to show you our commission reports to prove it.

Many entrepreneurs are attracted to a Network Marketing opportunity because you can grow a network of sales people underneath you. You then make something on every sale the person under you makes and every sale the person under them makes and so forth. This powerful model has enabled entrepreneurs to become millionaires on their terms for decades. They choose their schedule, they choose how aggressive they want to be. A recent report of the top 100 Network Marketers across different companies showed they earned between $130,000 - $1,560,000 per month.

The power of credit card residuals meet the power of Network Marketing! The above monthly income numbers may seem to be unrealistic yet in reality they

are fact for top performers in each industry. However, the examples are meant to show the earning potential that credit card residuals and Network Marketing have separately. Imagine if you multiplied the earning potential of the two opportunities into one.  Merchant Guard for the first time in history is doing just that!

Credit Card Processing Residual Meets Network marketing ‐ The power of squared

I have heard of Network Marketing opportunities in the past and only the people at the top make real money. Why is this different?

Ground level - Merchant Guard has been offering competitive credit processing services since 2000. However, the new marketing model was just launched in 2014. So you will be getting a very unique opportunity to get in on the ground level of this powerful opportunity.

Need vs. Luxury - We are selling a service that every business needs, credit card processing. Most Networking opportunities are selling a luxury product that is not needed.

Service vs. Product - Unlike other Network programs which make you purchase product inventory upfront. There is no purchase necessary you are offering a service and have only a $195.00 one time fee for your training, and ongoing support.

One Commission vs. Residual – Other Networking programs only pay you when someone in your network makes a sale. So if people underneath you stop selling you stop making anything. Credit Card residuals change the game. Now, even if someone under you only makes one sale, the sale provides residual income to you for as long as the merchant stays with us. So imagine an army of Agents building residual income for you every day.

What do I have to do to get started? This is a 100% commission based opportunity to pursue at your own pace. As an Agent you would be responsible for showing the benefits of our credit card processing to merchants and turning people like yourself on to the opportunity. We provide training and support to help you get started. Merchant Guard requires a ONETIME $195.00 fee for your training and support to get started.

We are adding new Agents daily who are getting in on ground level of this rare opportunity. Feel free to call me for more information.

                  Good selling!, John Daniels

**************

William James said "Wisdom is the art of knowing what to overlook."

Wisdom here is to overlook what you DON'T know (how credit card processing works)

and concentrate on what you DO know (almost everytime you purchase something, YOU USE A CREDIT/DEBIT/EBT CARD -- and a processor is getting paid).

MERCHANT GUARD can help both you AND the merchant with the rest!

 

 

Great kickoff in Milpitas!  Wish you had been here!

Dave and Michelle Margolati shared news about referrals with everyone. They went by today to check on a new merchant they signed up recently  to be sure he was happy with the service and equipment and everything. While  they were there he wrote down 6 names of merchants he wanted them to talk to and he called each of them to tell them Dave and Michelle would be calling to give them a great deal on their card processing!

They pointed out that in all the businesses they've ever done they've never had a customer give  6 referrals.

 Training with John Daniels was awesome.. Had a great time with our host Benjamin Ng.. which he said stands for nice guy and of course the effervescent Shaun Krohn and lots of guests. Four new agents signed up and are getting merchants! Tomorrow Modesto---- come or send guests. Because I'm posting on my cell phone...Please overlook errors😊

COME or SEND FRIENDS!

Off to Milpitas for CA Training and MG Intro --- two sessions:  3pm and 7pm!
Modesto 1-4pm Saturday.

SPECIAL TRAINER/MEET with Merchant Guard Founder and Inspiration John Daniels.

Going to be a blast --- COME or SEND FRIENDS!

Press Release (Background):

North American Bancard releases PayAnywhere 3.0

Las Vegas, Nov. 4, 2014 -- North American Bancard (NAB) today announced PayAnywhere 3.0, the newest iteration of the payments industry’s leading point-of-sale solution, at the Money 20/20 conference in Las Vegas. PayAnywhere 3.0, which will come pre-loaded on all PayAnywhere Storefront tablets beginning in mid-November, provides innovative new features and a redesigned user interface focused on speed and simplicity for PayAnywhere Storefront, the industry’s first cloud-based tablet point of sale solution provided free to merchants with activation. PayAnywhere 3.0 for PayAnywhere Storefront also integrates with PayPal through Discover’s processing network, making NAB the first payments company to provide their distribution partners with a margin neutral solution for PayPal transactions aligning with the other four major credit card brands.

PayAnywhere 3.0 offers faster and more flexible transactions as well as useful features for merchants including:

• PayPal photo check-In, a service where merchants can see a list of PayPal users in or around their store. Once a customer is ready to make a purchase, a merchant selects the customer from an on-screen menu and the customer can pay through their mobile device. This process drastically speeds up the time of an average transaction.
• Swipe to Sell, the ability to simply swipe a card, enter an amount and move on to the next sale.
• Express Sale, the ability to instantly add a previous sale amount with the tap of the screen.
• User Interface improvements like an easy new way to run specials, new easy-to-organize categories, multiple pricing options and more customizable inventory items.

“We are constantly innovating to bring the best new technology to merchants,” said Marc Gardner, founder, President and CEO of North American Bancard. “PayAnywhere 3.0 is the latest example of that. Easy-to-use interfaces, inventory management, the ability to take nearly every kind of payment in the simplest, quickest way possible -- these are the tools that merchants in 2014 need and that we are proud to be able to provide.”
Additionally, PayAnywhere 3.0 will also be available for free download in the Apple App Store in November and via Google Play in the future.

PayAnywhere Storefront launched in April 2014, offering a simple pricing model starting at 1.69 percent for swiped credit card transactions. The solution also includes data encryption, tokenization and fraud protection, providing both merchants and cardholders with the highest level of security in the industry. In-app and online reporting also provide small and medium-sized business owners with analysis tools previously only available to large companies with big data budgets.
PayAnywhere Storefront is available now for free from authorized PayAnywhere dealers.  (that would be YOU!) 

About PayAnywhere

Created by a multi-billion dollar credit card processing company with more than two decades of merchant payment processing experience, PayAnywhere is powering a payments revolution with its enterprise-grade, "pay-as-you-go" mobile payments system and its PayAnywhere Storefront tablet with industry leading business intelligence features. PayAnywhere's mobile point of sale (POS) technology combines the industry's most comprehensive enterprise-grade features with live customer support.

FROM A HAPPY AGENT:

I love the new PayAnywhere  video  with  Mark Gardner  just  added with agent  information  for  us too. Great great  question  answer period!   We are definitely in with the right  people.    Angie God Bless You Always

Recommend all of us get Happy like Angie and Wayne Harrington by watching the NEW TRAINING VIDEO just loaded into your mginterface.com in the Training video section -- scroll to the far right to find it.

MG was formed just a few months ago --- fast work!

Love the new MG capture  site that is being readied for replication in growing our businesses!  Check it out here.

************

New business tracking interface almost ready --- really fast work considering MG was formed just a few months ago!

In fact,  when we first looked at the concept last August we were afraid that the learning curve would be too intense for networking suitability. 

 We learned a long time ago that there are 4 essential questions that MUST be answered satisfactorily before anyone joins a company.  

1. What is it?
2. Is it do-able?
3. What's in it for me?
4. Why should I do it with you?

Based on our growth and experience so far we can give you the answers:

1. What is it?  It is the processing of EVERY non-cash transaction between consumer and merchant. 
2. Is it do-able?   With zero experience WE are doing it (and 100 others!) so you can, too.
3. What's in it for me?  Immediate training & merchant bonuses PLUS monthly residual on the transactions in #1.
4. Why should I do it with you?  Because, we're the only one out there doing what we do.  There is nobody else which gives 56% residual payout for 7 levels -- there is no greater leverage you can have.

New ETA/TSG Research Estimates 2014 4Q Electronic Spending Will Increase 4.0% Over 2013 to $890B

One occasion of note is on the payments horizon: the holiday shopping season. To meet it head-on, ETA is offering projections on holiday spending trends and has released important educational resources for merchants to navigate the evolving payments landscape. Payments consultancy firm The Strawhecker Group estimates that 2014 fourth quarter electronic spending will increase 4.0% over 2013 to $887 billion.

And it is global -- here's an infographic from the ETA to illustrate:

Expect Great Call Sunday night:  MG Weekly Wrap-up Call.  Details at right.

 FROM THE 'WHO DAT MERCHANT?' File:
 
There is no set rule for who can be a merchant -- or who wants to be an Agent.  For example, Mark and Dave are long-time Fresno friends from an advertising, marketing, financial and tech background.  They were paying a very high price for their processing on their businesses and are now MG Agents as well as Merchants.

Here is a recent interview with them re. their completely online, global, non-qualified-card biz -- it is now a MG customer!

So see:  there's a place for almost every business you can think of within Merchant Guard -- if not with one processor, then with another.
