$10,000 Grant for Windows but Can't Make Payroll...

I'd like to say "Imagine" here, but this is a true story.

A nonprofit can't make payroll, and a $10,000 Grant shows up, THAT DAY. The elation, the joy that follows is too incredible. It's an answer to prayers.

It's for Windows. ONLY.

If it's spent on anything else, they open themselves up to charges of fraud. They need money. They have money. It's windows money. In effect, they still have no money. Confused?

You don't have to go through that. Businesses you know can fund your charity forever, by simply redirecting a fee. You can do it. We can help. The monies that come from that are UNRESTRICTED. It's the same as being handed cash. If you're a business, let me tell you this: When a charity hears "unrestricted funds", it's high-fives all around.

Before you wonder how little it could give (not how much), we have a small charity that had 20 businesses converted. Those businesses give the charity $11,000 a month in donations. Unrestricted donations.

Do you give to a No-Kill shelter? What would that mean to you? How many dogs would $11k monthly save? How many Veterans would that prevent from committing su***de? How many homeless people would that feed? You and your business can give a fee you already pay. Sharing the Credit can help.

What would that mean to you?

"I Have No Idea What I Pay"​

1. You have a business

2. Customers pay you in plastic

3. You have no idea what each one is costing you, because you can't read your statement

That's the life of being in business. The only thing worse is "knowing" what you pay because you use Stripe, Square, or PayPal, or you have QuickBooks and they set your rate.

Congratulations. In ALL those cases you are paying through the nose. You need the equation to get your Effective Rate. The effective rate rolls everything into one percentage, which makes it a little higher than your actual number, but keeps everything on the radar. If you know your effective rate and what it should be, anyone can be a master mathemagician, er... mathematician.

Here it is: (Total Fees) divided by (Total Sales) = Move decimal right twice to get %

Example: ($600 in fees) divided by ($20k sales) = 0.03, Move decimal twice = 3.0%

Now, 3% means you're getting hosed. If you have a Retail business, your effective rate should be 2% or less. If you are online, it should be about 2.3% or less.

That, my friend, is all it takes to beat the system.

Lessons from DUNE...

How does one avoid a trap?

In a world of political intrigue, assassins are ubiquitous. Our CEO read Dune in college and it became one of his all-time favorites. The writing and the imagery were all incredible. In-universe of the book, there are no computers. There are, however, Mentats. Mentats are human computers able to process and calculate incredible amounts of data. They can also train, plot, scheme, what have you. In Dune, the Mentat for House Atreides (the good guys), is training the hero of the book Paul Atreides and teaches him a valuable lesson. "The First Step in avoiding a trap is to know of its existence."

Boom.

We use that every day when we train our team and we train businesses on how they get ripped off at the credit card terminal. Everyone these days must accept credit cards and debit cards as a business to be viable, but most don't know the traps.

If your company is charged the same amount for a customer using a credit card as a debit card, you've been caught in a trap. A debit card is your best friend. The only thing that is better is cash. Seriously, you should be paying less than 1% for a Debit Card charge in your store. Admiral Ackbar says, "It's a trap!"

Donald Duck Has a Middle Name...

No kidding. It's Fauntleroy. Drink that in...

When you know, you know, right? We deal less in Donald Duck and more in Merchant Accounts. We know what we know, and we tell people all the time they are getting robbed.

Robbed blind.

The last customer we spoke to does $400k a month and is overpaying a minimum of $7k-$10k a MONTH in fees. Overpaying. Fat on the bone. Simply put, they had a pay-as-you-go style account (Stripe, Square, Paypal) and were paying almost double for every credit card coming in, and triple for debit cards. No way to make that up.

Donald's name is a throwback to his sailor suit. Often called the "Little Lord Fauntleroy", the suit and sailor hat together were very popular. Our CEO's Grandfather had one in the 1920s. If you go back and watch Donald Gets Drafted, you can see his middle name on the draft card. A little knowledge like that goes a long way, so we give our information away for FREE, every day.

We not only save these businesses money, but we show them that ONE of the fees they pay can legally go to an IRS-approved charity, instead of the system. Our company, Sharing the Credit, has given away millions of dollars to Charity that used to go to buy bank presidents a new Lexus. We love giving it to the businesses' favorite charities instead, and have no plans to stop.

That should be the modern draft. Get your business into the Donations Army.

How to Get Screwed: Think Your Rate is FOREVER...

Customers pay you with credit cards and debit cards. Plastic. You're screwed. Sorry.

Let me readjust that... You're screwed if you don't know. Let's change that. When you sign up for a merchant account, your rate is not, repeat NOT locked in. Sorry. That account can change at any time. Have Stripe, Square, or PayPal? Sorry. You agreed to their terms of service. They can and do change the rate.

The Bible says that even a prophet doesn't get honor in their home village, and our CEO is no prophet. So, when he explained to his father who owned several businesses that we should look at his rate, he did not immediately do it. Commiserate with me. How many parents would NOT let their children who were in an industry do a competitive quote? Will's had to be pushed. 2 months. He was ready to have a Dateline level event and hide his body, but he finally got us his statements. He was very proud of them.

$2 grand.

What?

$2 grand. You're overpaying at the small store $2,000 a year.

"That can't be right. I argued that rate for months", he told Will. Yes, but you didn't sign a lease on an apartment. You signed a merchant contract that says if a fly anywhere in three counties breaks wind, your rate can go up. And it did. Over and over. In fact, his rate had gone to 3.1% for a Retail location. At the time, that was the beginning rate for adult material (something our firm won't even handle). Still, in less than a year and a half, his rate had gone up more than 160 basis points.

A basis point is 1/100th of a percent. If you have a rate of 1.7% and it climbs to 1.71%, you've gone up 1 Basis point.

Sometimes, a little knowledge is all you need. Kind of like knowing that Donald Duck's middle name is Fauntleroy in a trivia contest. KNOWING your rate can and does change makes you sharper, and like from the book Dune, the first step in avoiding a trap is knowing of its existence.

How To Surpass Your Largest Competitors?

If you want to start a new business, one of the biggest questions that you will face is how to build a brand that will be recognized and remembered by your customers. You need to find a way to stand out from your competition and make your brand memorable.

There is no magic formula for succeeding in business. But many different factors can contribute to a business's success.

To surpass your largest competitors, you must develop a unique brand identity. Your brand identity should be based on the following:

- A Unique Logo
- An Effective Marketing Strategy
- A Simple Product Line
- A Prominent Website
- A Quality Product Line
- A Strong Advertising Campaign
- Brand Recognition
- High-Quality Customer Service

A Unique Logo:
A good logo should be designed to represent your company and its products. A unique logo is distinctive and memorable. It should be simple yet powerful.

When developing a unique logo, it's important to think like a consumer. What does the customer see? Do they see a corporate logo, or do they see something that's eye-catching and attractive?

If your customers see something that catches their attention and they remember, they're more likely to buy your product.

A Simple Product Line:
Most companies have a simple product line. For example, most companies offer a variety of different types of pens.

You shouldn't try to be all things to all people. Your company should focus on one thing. If your company has multiple lines of products, you'll end up confusing your potential customers.

An Effective Marketing Strategy:
Many small business owners use the same old marketing strategy. They send out promotional letters to local newspapers and magazines and put ads on the yellow pages. However, these methods are no longer effective because most customers have already been exposed to the same type of information.

You should use a new and innovative marketing strategy to get your message out to the right audience. Your marketing strategy should be based on your target market. For example, if you sell toys to children, then you would use kid-oriented marketing strategies.

A Prominent Website:
One way to get people to notice your company is by having a quality website. Your website should be easy to navigate and understand. It should also be simple to update so you can keep it fresh and up to date. A website is the first that place people go when they're looking for information.

It's important to design your website to make it user-friendly. If people can't easily find what they're looking for on your website, then they're less likely to buy your products.

A Quality Product Line:
The last part of your company's branding is your product line. You should have a quality product line. People should be able to tell whether your products are high-quality or not. If they can't tell, then you shouldn't be selling them.

It's important to be careful when choosing your product line. You don't want to make a product that's too similar to your competition's. It could confuse your customers.

A Strong Advertising Campaign:
Advertising is another great way to let your customers know who you are. If you have a good advertising campaign, then you can increase your sales.

Advertising campaigns can be done through a variety of different media outlets. Promoting your product online with social networking sites and blogging is an effective way to advertise your product.

A High-Quality Customer Service:
Good customer service is one of the best ways to increase your sales. Customers are much more likely to buy from companies that provide excellent customer service.

A company that provides great customer service makes sure that its customers are happy. People are more likely to recommend a company that they've had a positive experience with.
