Digital World is Pure Gold!

Ring in the New, Ring out the Old!

And improve upon the things that just might turn out to be

Pure Gold!

Like building a Digital World team of Agents and Merchants and Agent-Merchants!

Friends, Mike and I have been in several strong network marketing endeavors.  We have made impressive incomes in several of them.

We have (probably like you) been exposed to far more than we've been involved with:  some which have become successful, most of which have not.

But we have NEVER  EVER  seen one which sets such a level playing field for everyone who gets involved as does Digital World.

DW has no place for making special deals with people from other mlms -- a practice which is standard throughout the industry.  

There are no promoted positions or  income that comes from what amounts to a paycheck from corporate for using your name.  In Digital World,

Everyone is equal.
Everyone faces the same requirements.
Everyone has the same potential at a market that is in the trillions of dollars and which has only ONE networking opportunity that helps you leverage your efforts:  Digital World!

Great things are coming in 2018.

Stay tuned.
Stay engaged.
Build your team daily... and Agent-Merchants are a good place to start!

More tomorrow!!

Digital World Merry Christmas!

Greetings and Seasonal Salutations, Digital World Agents-Extraordinaire!

Hope that all is well with you and yours and that 2018 is shaping up to be a vast improvement on 2017, and that 2017 was healthy and blessed!

We are fine and, like you, eagerly awaiting the New Year with Digital World and the 'news' that is coming!  Sounds exciting and much as we love the residual that DW brings, and the benefits to some awesome merchants who are also friends, we can't imagine what is coming but know enough to be anticipating it!

I am posting Mike's picture here -- he doesn't know.  I took it on the way to church because he just looked so cute and happy so hope you'll forgive my indulgence. 

Besides,  the Merry Christmas coming your way with this post comes from both of us!

You are part of a very big family and together we can make a massive difference in the coming year!

Enjoy your Holidays with friends and family and we look forward to hearing from you in the New Year!

God bless each one,

Mike and Barb Lammons

Merry Christmas!

It's a rainy day on the West Coast as these bloggers and Digital World Agents prepare to leave to visit family in Vietnam. We are so excited about the new year with Digital World... from the new improvements to the tools that we have,  as well as to the avenues that we have to help merchants.

We can't think of anything that is more worthy of our time and effort --- especially in light of the powerful residual that has already been generated in just the first couple of years of this young company.

We are so grateful to the Daniels family for their hard work and vision. We are also grateful to each one of you who have through your own efforts made this business a viable path for a career income for whoever wants it.

It is amazing to us that it requires so little from each Agent,  whether in time or certainly in capital money and expense... unlike any business that we have ever been involved in.

It may not be Thanksgiving but we are certainly giving thanks for you and for the opportunity to be a Digital World business consultant, friend, and marketer. Check all of the new materials in your interface:   just one a week can make you thousands of dollars!

Whether near or far, this business can be done if you choose to do it. Fairwinds and gfollowing seas to each one of you!   Will check in next from the other side of the world. Have a great week!  Mike and Barb

EIGHT Questions that Open Merchant Doors

Status update: 

Sorry for paying too much attention to the riveting presidential election drama AND baseball (who knew it was SO exciting??  or...  what happened to baseball during the past year when it changed from being a good way to go to sleep to something we now can't stop watching?!)

Some of you have been bizzy adding new merchants because the merchant count in our 7 levels has gone up 4 in 2 days!

GOOD JOB(S), GUYS!


***********

I do solemnly swear to turn off the presidential histrionics and start tending to DW merchant gathering .... but not so fast with turning off baseball!  

Aren't you glad that DW is there for you when you're watching baseball and when you're finished watching baseball?


**********

EIGHT Questions that Open  Merchant  Doors:

1. What do you like about your current processor?
2. What do you not like about your current processor?
3. In an ideal world, what would you most want from your processor?
4. On a scale from 1 - 10, how would you rate the importance of service from your processor?
5. On a scale from 1 - 10, how would you rate the importance of rate from your processor?
6. On a scale from 1 - 10, how would you rate the importance of equipment from your processor?
7. On a scale from 1 - 10, how would you rate the importance of EMV and NFC capability from your processor?
8. What is the biggest challenge your business faces in daily operations that processing can help with?

 *************

These questions are a guideline to spur you to remember this premiere truth:

IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO GET TO KNOW YOUR MERCHANTS NEEDS AND DESIRES than it is to ...well, THAN ANYTHING ELSE !!

Work up your own list of questions; work up a 'get acquainted' survey -- a 'can I help you?' questionnaire;  create some tool of your own that will assist you in giving your merchant prospects real value in letting you and Digital World be their processor!

Congratulations to all the Agents who have signed on new Merchants this week!  You guys (and girls) are amazing!  Neat story:  an Agent worked with a private school last year to get them as a Merchant....apps were sent back and forth but the 'deal' was never signed.  That was last year this time.  

Last week, school reconnects with Agent and sent along the app they had held onto since last year!  Agent got them a current app which they have completed and submitted.  

Lesson:  just get your info out to all the merchants you want to -- you never know when they will get everything in but sooner or later, watch out!

FROM CO-FOUNDER JOHN DANIELS:

You might want to get this out to everyone. If you remember I talked about the fact that everyone would wait to the last minute and the thing that would move them was the bad publications. That is starting to happen that is why it was important to get those post cards in the hands of  the merchants because there will be many, many, more articles about merchants having to pay all the fraud. It is coming. It took a little longer than what I predicted, Jan, & Feb.

There’s the Beef: Wendy’s Breach Numbers About to Get Much Meatier
When news broke last month that the credit card breach at fast food chain Wendy’s impacted fewer than 300 out of the company’s 5,800 locations, the response from many readers was, “Where’s the Breach?” 

Today, Wendy’s said thenumber of stores impacted by the breach is “significantly higher” and that the intrusion may not yet be contained.
On January 27, 2016, this publication was the first to report thatWendy’s was investigating a card breach. In mid-May, the company announced in its first quarter financial statement that the fraud impacted just five percent of stores.
But since that announcement last month, a number of sources in the fraud and banking community have complained to this author that there was no way the Wendy’s breach only affected five percent of stores — given the volume of fraudthat the banks have traced back to Wendy’s customers.
What’s more, some of those same sources said they were certain the breach was still ongoing well after Wendy’s made the five percent claim in May.
Today, Wendy’s acknowledged in a statement that the breach is now expected to be “considerably higher than the 300 restaurants already implicated.” Company spokesman Bob Bertini declined to be more specific about the number ofstores involved, citing an ongoing investigation. Bertini also declined to say whether the company is confident that thebreach has been contained.
“Wherever we are finding it we’ve taken action,” he said. “But we can’t rule out that there aren’t others.”

The company also emphasized that all of the breached stores were franchised — not company-run — entities. Here is the statement that Wendy’s provided to KrebsOnSecurity, in its entirety:
Based on the preliminary findings of the previously-disclosed investigation, the Company reported on May 11 that malware had been discovered on the point of sale (POS) system at fewer than 300 franchised North America Wendy’srestaurants. An additional 50 franchise restaurants were also suspected of experiencing, or had been found to have,other cybersecurity issues. As a result of these issues, the Company directed its investigator to continue to investigate.
Iand the number of franchise restaurants impacted by these cybersecurity attacks is
now expected to be considerably higher than the 300 restaurants already implicated. To date, there has been no
indication in the ongoing investigation that any Company-operated restaurants were impacted by this activity.
Many franchisees and operators throughout the retail and restaurant industries contract with third-party service
providers to maintain and support their POS systems. The Company believes this series of cybersecurity attacks
resulted from certain service providers’ remote access credentials being compromised, allowing access to the POS
system in certain franchise restaurants serviced by those providers.
The malware used by attackers is highly sophisticated in nature and extremely difficult to detect. Upon detecting the
new variant of malware in recent days, the Company has already disabled it in all franchise restaurants where it has
been discovered, and the Company continues to work aggressively with its experts and federal law enforcement to
continue its investigation.
Customers may call a toll-free number (888-846- 9467) or emailPaymentCardUpdate@wendys.com with specific
questions.
Wendy’s statement that the attackers got access by stealing credentials that allowed remote access to point-of-sale
terminals should hardly be surprising: The vast majority of the breaches involving restaurant and hospitality chains
over the past few years have been tied to hacked remote access accounts that POS service providers use to remotely
manage the devices.
Wednesday’s story about a point-of-sale botnet that has stolen at least 1.2 million credit cards from more than 100
Cici’s Pizza locations and other restaurants noted that Cici’s point-of-sale provider believes the attackers in this case
used social engineering and remote access tools to compromise and maintain control over hacked cash registers.
Once the attackers have their malware loaded onto the point-of-sale devices, they can remotely capture data from each
card swiped at that cash register. Thieves can then sell the data to crooks who specialize in encoding the stolen data
onto any card with a magnetic stripe, and using the cards to buy gift cards and high-priced goods from big-box stores
like Target and Best Buy.
Many retailers are now moving to install card readers that can handle transactions from more secure chip-based credit
and debit cards, which are far more expensive for thieves to clone.
Gavin Waugh, vice president and treasurer at The Wendy’s Company, declined to say whether Wendy’s has any
timetable for deploying chip-based readers across it’s fleet of stores — the vast majority of which are franchise
operations.

Notes from Rob Freytag regarding Clover:  (print and keep handy!)

• 1. Clover issues software updates regularly, unlike other POS systems.
• 2. First Data bought Clover a while back for $40 million.
•     2a.  First Data is the largest company of its kind in the US -- 60% of all biz runs thru it 
•     2b.  Clover is now valued at over $200  million with 60,000 merchants using it
• 3.  First Data has invested Millions in Clover and presently has 100 software engineers in Silicon Valley working on Clover with new app updates being issued each week

• 4.  your Clover system can even take a check in payment  (thru Telecheck) --  in addition to cash and debit and credit and other cards.

• 5.  the Clover Go device is a mobile reader which has EMV -- it is $40 for the device and it syncs with a merchant's  Clover account
• 6.  the Clover mobile weighs 1 pound and is very handy for pay-at-the-table in restaurants

• 7. there are an incredible number of marketing programs which Clover can be used for. For example one app enables a merchant to print coupons directly on the receipts -- these coupons can be read by Clover's scanner when the customer comes back in... that app is a mere $4 a month and can be an  extremely lucrative service!

• 8.  if a merchant does not want to use the cloud services,  Clover can be used strictly as a terminal for No Charge monthly --  the pro version has cloud base and is $30 a month. Trans Armor is Clover's  data breach insurance and encrypts every transaction and tokenizes it and that's included in monthly service fee.
• 9.  20% of all Starbucks transactions are mobile transactions and are covered by Trans Armor

• 10.  the cost for Clover placement if the merchant does not want to buy the equipment outright is $99 a month for 24 months which  includes a full Clover station bundle  also includes $30 for the cloud fee which means the the monthly payment on equipment is  $70 for 24 months

• 11.  the $29 a month plan includes remote access,  24 7 tech support,  all upgrades weekly and monthly,  data storage unlimited  of all the merchants data,  breach protection from Trans Armor and everything else that applies
• 12.  there's also a $20  app that pays your  taxes each month for the merchant --   state sales  taxes  etc. and that's very convenient and a big savings over paying a CPA to do it!.
• Clover is an incredible system for Merchants.... Rob encourages anyone who can and who is serious about the business to invest in a Clover mini for themselves so that they can take that with them on calls  to Merchants--  when a  merchant can get his hands on the unit and see a demo,   you have a sale! 

We're SOLD!  Now all we need to do is go out and start a restaurant!

If you have time to read this weekend, here's an interesting article from ESPN...

 Just so you know --- it's all the things Digital World IS NOT! 

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

Digital World Agents generate income for themselves by saving merchants on their monthly expenses AND by giving merchants access to valuable services they can't get/can't afford anywhere else (see 'Clover notes' above)!

You can buy your life back (e.g. quit your job) with just ONE merchant with DW because an elaborate  recruiting scheme  is not part of the DW comp plan.  The focus, mission and ultimate goal is MERCHANTS!  

So how's that working out for DW Agents?

One new Agent signed a million-dollar merchant in her first 3 months.

A second new Agent is in the process of signing a casino right now -- we were on a conference call with Oracle rep, casino execs and IT, DW and other relevant parties yesterday.

A third Agent has  $30 million/month  in the hopper. (No, we can't' believe it either.)

Several have $50-$100,000/month merchants.

Many more have smaller merchants but helping a smaller merchant feels just as good as helping a larger one -- it just doesn't sound as flashy.

   We see Agents enjoying  merchant success each week.

DW constantly brings new merchant incentives to us to share with merchants and make our mission easier!

For example, how about offering a merchant a Discovery Call with experts who can help that merchant recoup thousands of dollars (and more in many cases) annually?  ... with one very small by-product available to them looking like this:

• Unlimited FREE TeleConsults (phone or smart phone) with MD

• Unlimited access to speak with a Nurse FREE – 24/7

• Doctor Visits – (Guarantees at last 20% Savings)

• Surgical Center Visits - (Savings up to 60%)

• Lab Testing – (Savings up to $300)

• Imaging Studies – (Potential Savings of $750, or more)

• Medical Bill Advocacy – (Avg. Savings of $3,000)

• Dental Treatment (Avg. Savings: 15% to 50%)

• Prescriptions (Mail order & local pick up) (Avg. Savings: 10%- 85%)

• Vision – (Avg. up to 60% Savings)

• Diabetic Supplies – (Retail Packages 60% Off)

• Hearing – (FREE Exam and Up to 60% Off Aids)

• Chiropractic Treatment – Discounts

• Acupuncture Treatment - Discounts

• Patient Advocate Partners - Pathways To Affordable Care (see below)

• Medical Tourism - Domestic & International, Includes Education & Facilitation

PLUS special report....

• Which 9 domestic hospitals provides up to 60% savings on surgical procedures.

• A new hospital where you can save up to 80% on surgical procedures.

• How to easily find the price of any medical procedure in under 1 hour.

• How to save $500 on your next blood test, plus get the results back the next day.

• Secret hacks to negotiate up to 60% reduction on your next hospital bill.

• What you MUST know about your local hospital before you have to visit.

• How to get VIP service from your doctor, while paying less.

• Where to get an MRI for $290 or a CT scan for $190 in your local community.

• The 3 simple magic words that will save you 30% on your next hospital bill.

• How to decrease your wait time in your local E.R. by 80%.

Small Business is BIG Business

Small Business Trends

Small Business, Big impact! (SBA: https://www.sba.gov/content/small-business-trends-impact)

One thing is for sure, as a small business owner you are not alone! There are millions of small businesses across the United States traveling the same road as you each and every day. Although your business operates in its own unique fashion, the cumulative impact of the small business sector is enormous.

Small business is BIG!

·        The 28 million small businesses in America account for 54% of all U.S. sales.

·        Small businesses provide 55% of all jobs and 66% of all net new jobs since the 1970s.

·        The 600,000 plus franchised small businesses in the U.S. account for 40% of all retail sales and provide jobs for some 8 million people.

·        The small business sector in America occupies 30-50% of all commercial space, an estimated 20-34 billion square feet.

Furthermore, the small business sector is growing rapidly. While corporate America has been "downsizing", the rate of small business "start-ups" has grown, and the rate for small business failures has declined.

·        The number of small businesses in the United States has increased 49% since 1982.

·        Since 1990, as big business eliminated 4 million jobs, small businesses added 8 million new jobs.
