Great summer with family is winding down....sad but excited at the prospect of going crazy with DW!! So many great things have been happening in the DW universe during the 'summer doldrums'--read, HEAT WAVE-- clearly fall 17 is going to be a record-breaker for the DW Agent base!! Now is a good time to catch up on past blog vids, posts, and tips. Laying by the pool and catching up. ..Can't beat a REAL biz that allows you to build at your own pace.

Awesome webinar yesterday!! Thanks, Michael Herron! If you missed it or want to share with a friend, check it out in interface as soon as it is uploaded. Still on vacation in mountains...best biz in the world combines vacation with progress....love DW!

Many thanks to Agent Michael Herron for generously sharing this letter to merchant:  here's Mike:

An agent asked me to send a merchant friend of his something in writing explaining who we are and how Digital World can help him. So I took some info from the back office and added my own input to this letter. I then sent it out to all levels of my team after my agent's positive feedback. Feel free to use it as is or edit it for the needs of your specific merchant. Also please forward on to anyone this may assist in attracting a potential merchant.

Thanks,

Michael Herron

The Agents who have used Michael's letter have already attracted statements from merchants!  Here's evidence from one Agent:

From my new agent who used my new merchant letter this morning to get a statement from the local auto body shop. This motivates me: Picking up another statement tomorrow from the Caribxxx Grocery store. My goal is to sign up at least 30 merchant by the end of the month. Novelette B.  

 Thanks, Michael!

Some of us are Out-of-country Family Visiting Time this Week!  Blog will be intermittent but we are always ON with DW!

Keep on sharing the Love, Joy and Hope that resides in DW!

More about Texas:


Friday:  Agents Sanford Valentine and Vince Palmisano, along with Rob Freytag from Electronic Payments, are installing a company RECORD 20 Clover  POS systems at the 5,500 seat Mesquite Rodeo Arena in Mesquite, Texas. As you can see Sanford is pumped up and excited!

This all came about because while paying for his meal at a barbecue restaurant, he noticed they hadn't upgraded their credit card terminal. He began talking to the cashier, who just happened to be the owner's son, about what Digital World can offer them. And to Sanford's amazement, this owner not only owns several of these BBQ spots, but also just closed the deal to provide all ticket sales and concessions for the local arena. A 5500 seat arena that hosts major championship rodeos, an Arena League football team and concerts! 

My goodness you never know what can come from a simple conversation. Because he noticed the old equipment and simply started a conversation, Digital World is about to change his life. Oh and once the arena is completed, he'll begin working on upgrading the BBQ restaurants as this owner has about 6 of them. 

 Congratulations Sanford and to ALL 7 LEVELS (he's on my 2nd level and my wife's 3rd level) of your upline! Today is a GREAT day! Teamwork makes Dreamwork -- Mike Herron

Saturday update:  Well, the system is in and running; today will be the training and the real test. We are all keeping our fingers crossed that there will be no glitch in the system.  I didn't realize all it can do and yes I am learning a lot and it will be put to use in Houston next week.
I am learning plenty and heading to the training session and will be sending pics from there soon... Vince Palmisano

Will post pics as I get them!  In the meantime.... Happy

DW+IBSP Recorded Conversation: Lammons/Colip


How did the alliance between DW and IBSP come about? Here's Jim Colip to share the story:




*********

 Not getting where you want to be with your business? Maybe it's time to burn a few boats -- a lesson from history:

It was the year 1519 and Hernán Cortés, with some 600 Spaniards, 16 or so horses and 11 boats, had landed on a vast inland plateau called, Mexico. The Span­ish con­quis­ta­dor and his men were about to embark on a con­quest of an empire that hoarded some of the world’s great­est trea­sure. Gold, sil­ver and pre­cious Aztec jew­els were just some of that  trea­sure.

But, with only 600 men — none of whom had pro­tec­tive armour – con­quer­ing an empire so exten­sive in its ter­ri­to­ries could only be under­taken by a man with a death wish. This dar­ing under­tak­ing was made even more insur­mount­able by the fact that for more than 600 years, con­querors with far more resources at their dis­posal who attempted to col­o­nize the Yucatan Penin­sula, never suc­ceeded. Hernán Cortés was well-aware of this fact. And it was for this rea­son, that he took a dif­fer­ent approach when he landed on the land of the Mayans.

Instead of charg­ing through cities and forc­ing his men into imme­di­ate bat­tle, Hernán Cortés stayed on the beach and awoke the souls of his men with embla­zoned speeches. His speeches were inge­niously designed to urge on the spirit of adven­ture and invoke the thirst of life­times of for­tune amongst his troops. His ora­tions bore fruit, for what was sup­pos­edly a mil­i­tary exploit, now bore the appear­ance of extrav­a­gant romance in the imag­i­na­tions of Cortés’ troops.

But, iron­i­cally, it would only just be 3 words which Cortés’ mur­mured that would change the his­tory of the New World.  As they marched inland to face their ene­mies, Cortés ordered, “Burn the boats.”

It was a deci­sion that should have back­fired. For if Cortés and his men were on the brink of defeat, there wasn’t an exit strat­egy in place to save their lives. Remark­ably though, the com­mand to burn the boats had an oppo­site effect on his men because now, they were left with only 2 choices — die, or ensure vic­tory. And fight they did.

We know  how Cortés’ deci­sion to burn his boats panned out. Hernán Cortés became the first man in 600 years to suc­cess­fully con­quer Mexico.

What boats are holding you back from filling your saddlebags with residual processing revenue?  Might be time to fire up a couple!

PAYTHINK
It Is Possible for Merchants to Accelerate Chip Card Acceptance
By Xavier Giandominici

June 16, 2016


Despite some early success, it can’t be ignored that there are still many merchants that cannot accept EMV chip cards.

That's not because they haven’t started their migration, but because the payments applications developed by their VAR, ISO and ISV partners or themselves have not yet been certified.

Now, merchants are starting to see their chargebacks mount—chargebacks for card-present transactions increased 50% following the liability shift. While not all chargebacks are due to the chip card migration, it has become a significant point of motivation for merchants in trying to accelerate their chip card acceptance programs.

With this surge of organizations now trying to get through the testing and certification process, they have overwhelmed the industry's resources and created a certification backlog. But this isn’t the only reason for the backlog— we’re also seeing that when many merchants finally get to the front of the certification “rush hour” line their application fails to pass certification.

This not only frustrates the merchant and delays their plans of chip card acceptance, it also compounds the traffic jam and makes the backlog problem worse. When an organization fails the certification test, acquirers and other certifying entities need to spend more time with them to identify why they failed and assist them in resolving the problem. Eventually, the certification has to be resubmitted, further stressing the capacity.

The good news is, there is something merchants can do to not only make their trip through the certification backlog more successful, but make it successful the first time: call a DW Agent!

Jim and The Half Million Dollar Question (watch viceo)

Amazing things are happening daily in the World of Digital!!  For example, rookie Agent Sanford Valentine got himself into a situation recently -- we heard about it yesterday. 

Sanford is all alone (in DW) in a huge city in Tejas.  He hasn't been to any live meetings; no live trainings;  he has just muddled through the interface webbies and training modules all by himself.

A couple of weeks ago he enjoyed a great meal out:  told the guy checking him out 'food is great'.  Then, bravely, he ventured:  "I see you don't have a chip reader."  Cashier pounces on him:  "What do you know about chip readers?" 

Turns out cashier is owner's son -- of a food conglomerate/empire -- and emv cards are very much on their minds but they haven't  known who to call. Enter The Rookie.

People ask us frequently 'what is the best way  to build residual income'. 

The  answer we give is,  it's best for you to get a few small merchants and find a few other Agents to also get a few merchants and so on and so on. 

However it's  true that there are a handful of Digital Agents who have gone right out the door and stumbled into very large accounts --  each one of which give them a  generous full-time residual income of several thousand dollars a month. Looks like Sanford might have done that, too.

Is that the way it works every time?   No, I haven't done that yet.   Mike hasn't done that yet.  We have a few small accounts.   But believe me we love it when you guys turn up huge accounts.   The stories are so awesome to hear!

The cashier above told The Rookie  'if you help us get this one running smoothly we will turn over all our business to you.'   Literally this could be the residual income jackpot for The Rookie. I don't know any other business  you can say that about. Way to step up to the plate, Sanford!

And a big THANK YOU to Avita and to EPI's Rob Freytag for excellent support!
