HAPPY MONDAY, DIGITAL WORLD!

Our resolution #1:  Finish off our 14 personal merchants.  

We have been DW Agents for 2 years now, and some big accounts have  popped on our Level 7 -- so until  this month having 14 personal merchants was not a priority.  But now --- Mike and I will be hunkered down on that mission.

New Agents need to build a team of other Agents initially...
 and gather personal merchants as the opportunity presents itself or (as in our case) when we're going to miss residual if we're not 'merchant-qualified'!

Remember:

1 personal merchant qualifies you to get Level 2 residual.
2 personal merchants qualifies you to get Level 3 residual.
3 personal merchants qualifies you to get Level 4 residual.
4 personal merchants qualifies you to get Level 5 residual.
5 personal merchants qualifies you to get Level 6 residual.
14 personal merchants qualifies you to get Level 7 residual.

DW is only hard if you make it hard.

Just make it a natural part of what you do every day ....without exception.  The consistency of that will bring you success!

As a consumer and an Agent, you're in the flow below in TWO places!  If you're a consumer, an Agent, and a merchant, you're in THREE places!!

Do you need to understand it?  Nay, my friend:  you just need to be IN IT!

FROM THE INBOX:

With students heading back to school, that means one thing for our biz-- the BIGGEST 3 recruiting months of year always start Sept 1.

After  tracking almost 24 years in this industry, Sept, Oct and Nov always prove  this fact. Build your team and enjoy leverage.

And now we have great short videos in interface to help you learn about our industry.   Each of us need to watch and promote reading Barb's Blog

 Amazing to me how little you need to know to score a "Gigantic Merchant".

We have had two Massive Merchant accounts go active in past 5 weeks and these were first Merchants for each Agent.

Recruit, help your team recruit and  watch Merchant videos and you will fer sure have nice Xmas $$$$-and Jan $$$ and Feb $$$ and on and on.

Try to imagine Xmas $$$$ on 25th of every month!

Let's make it happen for each Agent!

Hot News:

Network of 330,000 cash registers is hacked

Elizabeth Weise, USATODAY 5:41 p.m. EDT August 8, 2016

SAN FRANCISCO — One of the largest point-of-sale payment systems in the hospitality industry, used in restaurants and hotels globally, has been breached by a Russian organized crime group, computer security writer Brian Krebs reported Monday.
The breach occurred in systems run by MICROS Systems, which was purchased by Oracle in 2014.
Oracle security engineers found malware in some systems run by MICROS and identified the affected systems and blocked malicious processes and unauthorized network connections, the company said in an undated letter and FAQ sent to customers, which it provided to USA TODAY on Monday.
In the letter, Oracle assured customers that “payment card data is encrypted both at rest and in transit in the MICROS hosted environment.”
Whether that meant actual customer financial data was accessed by the hackers in unknown.
Krebs, who has deep sources in the Russian criminal underground, reported that the breach was tied to Russia's Carbanak Gang, which stole over $1 billion from banks worldwide in 2015.
The Redwood Shores, Calif.-based company said it would contact customers whose data was affected by the malware.
In response to the discovery, Oracle is requiring all MICROS customers to change the passwords for all MICROS accounts.  In addition, it recommended that customers change the passwords “for any account that was used by a MICROS representative to access your on-premises systems,” the letter said.
According to Oracle, MICROS point of sale programs were used by hotels, food and beverage facilities and retailers at more than 330,000 sites in 180 countries in 2014.
MICROS is "huge" in the hospitality industry, one of its largest if not the largest point of safe and software systems, said Henry Harteveldt of Atmosphere Research Group in San Francisco.
“MICROS could be at the front desk, it could be in the coffee shop, the restaurant, the golf course, the night club, everything. When a hotel signs up, it is operating in dozens if not more places within in a typical mid-sized or large hotel,” he said.
Neither Oracle’s internal corporate network nor its other cloud and service offerings were impacted by the malware, the company said.
Security analyst Avivah Litan with technology research company Gartner called the news “disturbing.”
“This is a very big deal,” she said. “It just indicates how hackers can gain access to customer credentials and allegedly secure customer systems through a hack into the back end where it all comes together.”

 You have a fix for this, DW Agent!   Those restaurants, casinos, etc. using Micros can get a quick (relatively) inexpensive (relatively) secured lockdown on their system -- through you and DW's strategic partners.

See past blog for notes re. this!

Relevant letter .. feel free to edit for your use:

Mr. Restaurant Owner:  Are you looking for ways to secure your payment environment, protect against potential breaches and get EMV ready?

Oracle has selected Elavon as their first partner to utilize the MICROS Payment Gateway (MPG) in North America to jointly deliver a secure, future-ready solution. Elavon is certified to MPG and best of all, Elavon is ready now for EMV. Elavon’s security solution also protects against breach exposure with card encryption, tokenization and provides advanced payment acceptance capabilities such as Apple Pay™.

Elavon’s Simplify application, a key component of the overall solution, is already EMV-enabled. When the liability shift happens, you won’t need to change your current platform or upgrade your POS software. Simplify will work with your pre-existing Oracle Hospitality POS and removes the POS from PCI scope through its unique semi-integrated delivery. Simplify isolates sensitive cardholder data from the payment system by securely encrypting it at the start and during the payment authorization process.

Elavon’s Safe-T service and Simplify application offer many benefits. These include:

•             EMV Readiness

•             Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) and Tokenization

•             NFC payments acceptance (i.e. Apple Pay™)

•             PCI scope reduction

•             Lower overall cost of maintenance and support

•             Less complex upgrades made at the hosted level versus local application level

For more information on Elavon’s security solution please  let me set up a consultation call with our West Coast MICROS specialist.  Call me today… Michael Lammons Your Local Digital World Agent 559.824.3254

Greetings, Digi-Agents ExtraOrdinaire!

Today we will post some questions from Agents that were in this morning's email:

1.  How wide can we individually go with new reps.  Am I picturing it wrong. 7 deep or wide is as far as we can go on that level or any level?? What if I hire and train 80, all the while helping each of them sign up merchant accounts as well as find and train more reps for their matrix??

I get the deep and then the need to help all of our reps hire reps and train more reps, but can we have and can we earn from more than 7 reps on our first level??

Tom

Answer:

Hi, Tom, there is no limit on your personal production:  width is unlimited, on agents as well as merchants. !

If you enroll 1000 agents, great! 

Same for merchants!

 2. Hi Barb,

Hope all is well with you.
I have an EMS account that someone did not enter in to the interface. I am not sure who it goes under. Anyway you can look through your team see who it belongs to from FL? Also let them know in the future they  have to enter the merchant in to the system so they get credit. Avita

Answer:  Anybody?  

3.  Barb, is it better to get merchants or Agents?

Answer:  Yes. The more (of each) the merrier your financial party!

4.  Where can I find that marketing video with my name on it?

Thanks, Stlendy

 Answer: 

Login to your interface, and go to the video section. It will be in the marketing videos section ....they are marked for merchants or Agents. Just click on the share button and the screen will come up .... use the address in the address bar at the top as your link. Then it will appear just like the one I sent you!

5.  Barb, do I have to know all the info in the training section in order to do this?  HELP!

Answer:

Watching the training videos introduce you to this state-of-the-art industry BUT none of us (except Avita at Support!) know all this info.  Your #1 job is to introduce DW to a few merchants, collect their processing statement, and submit that to Support for analysis.  Support will send you a cost comparison (us vs. their current processor) WITH THE APPROPRIATE APP.  You take or send that to the merchant for them to fill out and submit.

Every merchant is different so you can't know everything:  just know this --

• DW is their best option and
• you can always get the answer to questions  you don't know from DW!

Your #2 job is, natch, to introduce DW to a few pre-Agents!

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

Yes, we know DW is different from anything else we've ever tried, dear Network Marketer.  Two posters for you:

DW: Residual that Remains!

and

Yes, DW is different.  Did you want a horse or a plane?
