DW is a true honest business you can count on

"I'm very happy Wayne and I were introduced to John Daniels and  Digital World. My merchants are happy too. The increase of credit card users makes their business more profitable. If you need a terminal without a contract attached to it. Call me.  Angelia Harrington"

The above note was left on blog a few days ago... we love it!

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.

Merchant Testimonials

Because we frequently get questions about Digital World merchants and 'are they happy?', today the blog features a picture of the very first merchant that a DW Agent signed, waaay back in 2015.  That was Agent Angelia Harrington (l) and she is with her friend at a small M___Grill in south Georgia.  The ladies are pointing at the Visa/MC/Amex logo that they affixed to the register because the Grill was CASH ONLY until Angelia spoke the truth about the benefits of taking non-cash payments to the Grill owner.

Angie basically said: "Try it: you'll like it."   "And if you don't, I'll come pick it up and send it back-- no harm, no foul."

Guess what:  the Grill DOUBLED their revenue the first month they went live with card processing, and TRIPLED the month after.

THE COMP PLAN IN ACTION:

Angelia is an Agent that Mike and I personally sponsored.

The M_____Grill is her personal merchant account, so the Grill is on our Level 1 (5%) and Angie's personal level (20%).

I just checked my residual statement in the interface for April, 2017 and, sure enough (sho nuff), we got paid a commission on the processing of M___Grill.  Again.  Just like every month since she plugged in her DW terminal and began letting her customers pay for their burgers with credit, debit or other non-cash ways!  This happy merchant is one of hundreds and hundreds across the US who call DW home.

But remember:

WHEN A DW AGENT SIGNS A MERCHANT ON TO DW PROCESSING, that Agent is in a fiduciary capacity with that merchant, and confidentiality is of PRIMARY IMPORTANCE.  We do not give out names of merchants, nor in any way compromise their privacy or do anything that might interfere with their business operation.

But trust us when we say, Digital World has many happy merchants, just like Angelia's busy cook above!

REASON #1 WHY WE DO DIGITAL WORLD:

From Founding Agent Angelia Harrington:

Fwd: Miscellaneous Activity Log/Call Log - Mxxxx GRILL LLC MID # 530xxxvvvmmm

Hey guys, can you believe it has been 3 years since I got this first merchant for then Merchant Guard, now Digital World? Neither the merchant nor I knew what we were in for but we both are very happy with the outcome. Thank you and thank God for the opportunity. Look where we are now. Keep up the good work.

A lot of good things have come out of this opportunity. How could we have ever known that $195, one time would have such a great return. What are people thinking when presented with the opportunity and pass it up?

It can't be "I don't know how to do that". Duh! It doesn't take a genius to do this business. It just takes $195 and a free terminal.

Thanks again Angie and Wayne Harrington MG028

Angelia (l) at the install of Minute Grill's terminal!

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

Angie signed up the Minute Grill her first week in DW:  it was the first merchant that anyone on in our team got --- and that was 2 years ago.   The merchant told Angie she had stopped taking credit cards 5 years before because 'it was too expensive'.

Angie assured her (on blind faith) that we would not be too expensive,  so merchant took a chance. First month, merchant's revenue DOUBLED! Second month went up again.  As you can see from notice above, merchant just happily signed up 3-year extension... 

....which means 5 years of residual -- 60 months of residual -- for Angie from something she did her first week 2 years ago.  Add another renewal 3 years from now, and on and on:  John Daniels gets paid monthly on merchants he signed up 15 and 20 years ago!

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

Is it easy?  Does every merchant say yes?  Are there things to learn?

NO!                     NO!                                             YES!!

IS IT WORTH IT IN THE RESIDUAL PAYOUT?  

What do you think?

PLUS,

Agent Sanford Valentine is quickly becoming 'The King of BBQ' in Texas... you heard his interview regarding the big bbq merchant at Mesquite Arena (check webinar section of the interface if you missed it) -- well, he just got another merchant of the bbq-type:  restaurant #1 of  18 in a chain in the DFW metroplex.  Only 17 to go and that's just a matter of getting the apps done.

Evidently Sanford has found his merchant niche!  And for my dime, TEXAS BBQ ROCKS!

Way to go, Sanford!

If you've ever heard John talk about his experience with A.L.Williams decades ago and the effect it had on his life, you can begin to understand his DW vision.  Perhaps this quote from A.L.Williams himself  to a crowd at the Georgia Dome in 2011 expands the picture:

 

Addison introduced his mentor – Art Williams – who had founded the A.L. Williams & Associates life insurance company in 1977. 

A.L. Williams later became Primerica.

As he came on stage, Williams was greeted with an even louder and longer standing ovation. This was the first time in 20 years that Williams had addressed a Primerica gathering, and the attendees were making up for lost time.

Williams, who became a billionaire while building A.L. Williams, came out dressed in khaki shorts (that didn’t hide a knee brace on his left leg) and a long‑sleeved T‑shirt that said “Do It BIG.”

“I wore my coaching clothes tonight,” said Williams, a former high school football coach, who began coaching the crowd – much in the way he had run the insurance company decades ago.

“A.L. Williams was born with 85 people here in Atlanta, Ga.,” Williams said. “We had a crusade, and we grew to an army of 225,000. You know what?”

“You know what? In 1977, 86 percent of life insurance was cash value life insurance. Today, 95 percent of life insurance is term. And A.L. Williams did that. We changed and cleaned up an industry.”

Addison introduced his mentor – Art Williams – who had founded the A.L. Williams & Associates life insurance company in 1977. (He’s not related to Rick Williams.) A.L. Williams later became Primerica, but at the 2011 convention, it was as if Primerica and A.L. Williams had reunited in spirit.

If you aren't building your DWP team, you're chasing the wrong rabbit!

!!  5 new merchants added to our 7 level merchant total over the weekend !!  How many of them were in your 7 levels?

It is stunning how you are getting merchants signed up with one of our 3 great DWP processors via the STEALTH method!  Great going, Agents! 

*********

On Weekly Wrap-up Call last night, Agent Angelia Harrington was present with 2 GUESTS in Florida!  Angelia was a flight attendant once upon a time and she is perfect for this business:  friendly, focused, organized and always busy!  Awesome, A!

*********




But, Barb, do we really have a solid product that helps merchants?

Here is a recent merchant we signed up.... we are saving him  significantly and he may realize even greater savings when we have a months' stats on him...his statement was deliberately garbled by his current processor to mask straight comparisons, but our best CONSERVATIVE savings estimate is here:



 ************

So, YES, we have a solid product that saves merchants money while giving them newest FREE equipment and services like FREE GIFT CARDS they aren't presently getting.

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

Also,  note the $327.42 PROCESSING FEE  above.  This is our 20% level so $40-60/mo. (+/-...whatever the profit  is) is added to our residual ... month after month.

My question for you:  what are you doing today that can generate almost $100/month --  passively --  for a looong time?

I don't care how much health drink/weight loss/wrinkle cream stuff you sell today, you're not setting up residual income for yourself!  If you aren't building your DWP team, you're chasing the wrong rabbit!

********** 

And furthermore, the comparison above is on a $16,000.00 summer statement... this merchant told us he is heading into the winter months when he typically processes $30,000-40,000.00....   it doesn't take calculus to guess what that does to our monthly residual.

POINT:

DWP merits your effort:  FIGURE IT OUT!  Call us for help. Do whatever it takes to get some merchants and get some Agents who get merchants.
