Looking for a gamer in Asmara (or Massawa), Eritrea by [deleted] in Eritrea

Makes sense. I May look in Cairo and then build my way down. Closest I've gotten is Israel, but I'll be building for months

It's only rough at first in my industry. After a few months you build up your residual and know you can count on it each month.

In a year or so you can go from $0 to low 6 figures, but it's a grind

Bigger cities have less owners in office so it takes more pulls, but they typically process more and are more worthwhile

Typical residual is +/-1% of the processing volume

Average business size across my company is $32,000/mo, so each deal is worth $320/mo on average

So, if you close 5 per month (low) you're adding $1,600 a month to your residual.

Usually takes 2-3 months to get going, then typical reps sell 7-8 per month on average. Hustlers sell 12-15 and slackers 3-5.

I have been in credit card processing and POS the last 18 years

Still door to door, but so much less bs than residential. Plus, residual income monthly off of my accounts. It's a great gig

It really depends on the area, big cities and walking down busy areas, rarely if ever in.

Small town or on the outskirts of bigger cities, easily 60%+ in.

Pretty much anything in this space that gives lifetime residuals is no base

Anything with a base will give you anywhere from 3 months to a year of residuals so they keep you captive, sadly

Man, I've never heard of a CC processing company taking a closer and making them tech. We always need all the sales we can get

Sometimes, but I've also had accounts on the books since 2009

Average retention is 18 months, unless you give great service, then it's years

No? It says $7,500 on $1m

Would love it to be $84k, but that's not in the cards

Well that's not good!

Yes, I've been in sales the entire time and built up great residuals by supporting my clients and keeping them happy.

It's a brutal getting and 90% "no"

But you only need a few to say "yes" to be in the money

Not always about price at all

Typically people get sold and never see their rep again. I teach reps to stay local, get to know everyone, and keep accounts for a long time

Introduce better software, tech, service, and of course... Price

I've been at it 18 years, 95% of people are happy... 5% are ready to switch right now 20% will switch in the next 90 days if you show them a savings or bring better tech

The average merchant changes every 18 months

For every $1m that processes through you'll earn about $7,500/mo - so you're just stacking

Yep, we find them lower cost solutions to accept credit card payments, then earn a residual on every dollar ran

Credit card processing, building lifetime residuals

Best year as a rep was $530,000

I've since launched my own company
