WELCOME TO MG 2015!

WELCOME TO MG 2015!

Hope your Holidays were as wonderful as ours, which we got to spend with family FAR AWAY.  One of our daughters and her husband teach school and are currently in Cyprus, with two of our grandchildren.  Here are some pics so you can see what a FANTASTIC country Cyprus is:

Grandson and me in front of first home we stayed in.

Third place we stayed.

Daughter and me at St. Paul's (he came here, you know) for Christmas morning Eucharist.

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

Food was AWESOME and we recommend wholeheartedly this friendly, clean, beautiful country if you want a great ancient place to tour.

BUT YOU GUYS haven't been vacationing:  Leslie Juencke has a LOT going on and has us set up for  training of her new Agents this week.  Wayne Harrington called in from GA just now and has two new Agents signing up today:  PLUS THEIR residual this month is growing -- 4 times what it was last month!  And that's just the beginning of the list of 'what's happnin now'!

MEETING IN SAN DIEGO TONIGHT:  Host Rick Andersen.  Special Guest Merchant Guard Office Manager and THE WOMAN WE LOVE, Avita Pizano -- direct from INDIANA!!

Love this PayAnywhere video from Clint Arthur but remember:  this just for YOUR info.  Don't send it out to anyone without making sure they have YOUR information on how to sign up for this neat unit.

The

view from our room tonight.... Wish you all were here. It is so peaceful and gorgeous and deserted in this resort town which is booming in the season.  We are off for a few days to tour Southern Cyprus and Western Cyprus so there'll be lots more awesome pictures with season's greetings to each one from the cradle of civilization.

Tried to read the history of Cyprus last night. By 500 BC I was exhausted from all the thousands of years that had gone on before. People have been here a loooong time! Peace on earth --- goodwill to men.

Our dtr and son in law moved to Nicosia, Cyprus ( with 2 precious Gr Kids) back in August to teach in International School System. This is after .two years teaching in Cairo, Egypt where they had no car and did NOT drive.

Barb and  I arrived Friday nite with a rental car at our disposal. 4 things different from prior rental cars for us:
1. Steering wheel on right side
2. GPS totally in Greek
3. Cars drive on opposite side from U.S.
4. All road signs in Greek

And NO DRIVERS LICENSE required for first 7 months of driving.

Riding with our  dtr and S in L
Reminds me of being in a race car.

What an experience. At least I had a 15 minute training drive in a driving rainstorm.

Tried to get Barb to give it a try and she said ONLY if I am dead.

Having great time so far and at grocery storetoday we noticed they sure need our Merchant Guard terminals.
They still use ancient inventory and checkout methods.

Just think---all our growth is in front of us.

Greetings from Cyprus

Greetings from the other side of the world!

This is definitely the best business in the world.  Here we are on the other side of world visiting with family that lives thousand of miles away. And you  keep on building the business for your reasons.

As you grow your business to build your team you put the exact same leverage to work for your own self and your own family.

Thank you to Rick Andersen for conducting the Sunday night weekly wrap up call. Can't wait to hear the recording ourselves. You can call into it by using the dial in number and file #7 on the media file page on this blog.

We will be here for 2 more days before heading for Famagusto and the Troodos Mtns.  for about a week.  Mike is learning to drive on the wrong side of the road which is correct here, while I'm trying to navigate without english or a map.  Hope that your days are wonderful and your christmas season is blessed!  Mike and Barb

MG is Mind-boggling!

Via text from Mike:

Barb and I r heading to SFO in couple hours for our trip to Nicosia, Cyprus. Will return on 28th. We will not have cell or text service but email will work.

Here in Bay Area, Talking bout 3" rain, 60 to 80 mph winds, massive power shortages, floods and 3' snow in Sierras--      All beginning tonite.   

Had great mtg last nite with Marlyn Ano and some of her Team. She took us to eat at a delish Filippino restaurant, 'TasteBuds' on San Carlos just east  of El Camino.

Food was superb and Marlyn talked to owners bout their processing fees. They AVERAGE $7,000 MINIMUM DAILY credit card billing. Unbelievable when u see this building--  very small, unassuming place.  Folks, give every your brochure and card:  we are continually amazed at the volume of billing that passes through the least impressive places!  Plus, They are so excited to have Marlyn save them money.

Wish each of U Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays.

Mike

MG is mind-boggling!

 
We have, let's see, less than 100 MG Agents WORLDWIDE, representing 2 top processors that process BILLIONS annually, on the precipice of global processing and did I mention.....
WE HAVE LESS THAN 100 AGENTS WORLDWIDE???

Guys, yes contact those merchants, but be aware that our mission needs HUNDREDS more active Agents so share your biz with others, too!

Reminder:  Some great features of the PayAnywhere product:

1. Next day funding
2. No contract
3. Free wireless terminal and 2 swipers
4. AmEx same as V/MC, etc.
5. Full software for running business
6. No need to get statement from merchant
7. Simple online signup

 Reminder:  why EPI product is best for many merchants:

1. Next day funding
2. No contract
3. $500 best rate guarantee
4. BEST RATES,  NO HIDDEN 'GOTCHAS' WHATSOEVER!
5. Live, in US, tech support EVERY DAY EVERY HOUR!
6. Amex One Point rate
7. AND MUCH MORE

 Regarding #4 above, we saw a statement sent through last week and the analysis showed that the merchant had an excellent rate, very competitive.  Surprisingly so. Hmmmm, where's the rat?

John found it:  merchant had been also signed up for a 4 year least on his terminal (the one we give for FREE) for $40/month, 4 years.

I'll try to find the tv news expose here in Bay Area that Dave Margolati saw recently about this very thing:  unaware merchants being signed to unbreakable leases on equipment which is really a scam!

Let your merchants know that MG doesn't do things like this:  best service, best rates.  That's what we stand for!

HAPPY SHOPPING!!

Happy Saturday!

I had a great day yesterday toodling around looking at nice homes ready for Christmas (to benefit Valley Children's Hospital) and am busy getting ready for our Cyprus trip.

Looks like John was busy, too!  Here he is (courtesy of renowned Swedish filmmaker Rick Andersen) highlighting some of the features of the PayAnywhere wireless terminal.






Below that is some of the entertainment awaiting us in Cyprus!!
