WE KNOW YOU'LL LOVE THIS DW AGENT/MERCHANT STORY:
Just heard this yesterday from
Agent Angelia Harrington. Angie was visiting us -- she has recently relocated from Georgia to California so it was good to catch up with her again! She shared that she got a new merchant who just went active last Saturday.
Get this: he owns a service station in south Georgia! His brother is one of Angie's merchants of long standing. While Angie was on the road to California, someone kept calling her from Georgia from a number she didn't recognize so she ignored it. Finally, the caller left a voice mail:
"PLEASE CALL ME BACK ASAP! I have to get set up on merchant processing for my new business by NEXT SATURDAY!"
Since Angie was on the road, boxed up and moving, she was in a quandry because there was not much she could do.
But, not to worry: she called corporate and DW corporate stepped up to the plate. Avita and Anthony got with the panicked merchant, got his paperwork done and overnighted him a terminal so he could be processing credit/debit cards, etc., by his opening biz day!
Angie remarked: "Now I have merchants from Georgia calling me and I'm in California!"
And she gets paid on each and every one, from swipe to swipe and from shore to shore!
Digital World gives you more....
Almost sounds like a song!

What skills are you looking for in a person to be a DW Agent?
Agent Mike Lammons summed it up pretty simply:
Do they have $195?
Can they fog a mirror?
NOT TO BE FACETIOUS, but truly, the basic skill set DW requires is your desire to get something positive going.
What other skills help?
Well, in no particular order, here's a list:
Friendly.
Focused.
Busy.
Has a smart phone or pc. And can use it.
Truthfully, every other skill set that enhances your DW biz can be found inside your interface, with your team, and in DW corporate. All the other answers (or skills) you need are part of the reason you are glad you are part of a Digital World universe.
If you were going out ALONE to be an agent for a processing company, YES, YOU WOULD NEED A TON MORE SKILLS -- FOR SALES, FOR TECH SAVVY, FOR NUMBERS AND FINANCE --
but this is not sales: this is making friends, leveraging yourself through a network of professionals who do have all the skills you are lacking, and bringing the strengths of
your neighborhood,
your contacts,
your goals, into a company that can help you capitalize in a way that nothing else can.
