Okay so I will cop to not posting because I hadn't developed the habit yet and I'm wiped when it comes to end if the night.
So in the last week of missed reports I signed IBNS, Jewish Community foundation if the west, and Albert Einstein Residence Center. That's 4 accounts so far in April. The month is almost half over and I expect to hit the goal of 10 minimum signed. The momentum is built, I have been setting the appointments and going on them. Despite my best effort to prequalify appointments some still turn out to be a bust...either the person who says they are the actual decision maker or they don't do enough in ccards to make it viable or something. But if I keep working the numbers and even improving them I will hit the goals. I have some very good appointments for next week and there are still 11 weekdays left in the month. Very promising.

Tues 4/4/11
Good day again,
dropped off upgraded terminal in the morning to Tower Pipe and Cigar. Then to Marcia's Classic to switch/download her terminal...almost 2 hours - no go - need to swap it tomorrow.
While there met her friend Keith Weber, printer and president of Antelope/Highlands Chamber of Commerce. He invited me to meet and greet 30-40 business folks on Thursday from 11:30-1.
Then to appt at IBNS, a managed IT business. Went very well - will go back to sign tomorrow or Thursday for cc processing (barely any volume) and check services - 10k/month.
Spoke with Dan Binderman at World Music Institute in NYC. Will sign them up in late May.
Then home to prepare for evening presentation to Arden Park Homeowners Association for cc presentation.
Excellent presentation - after Q and A they asked what they needed in terms of paperwork and they will have that tomorrow or Thursday - they are raring to go - liked all that they heard.
Set appts today with America's Tint, auto tinting business who I met yesterday and also with Crawdads restaurant, an old EMG client.
Now, off to bed too late but earlier than last night.

Monday 4/4
8 am soc appt with Kathy H until 915 - it was an excellent appt - as I mentioned she is a successful solopreneur with 2 mlm jewelry businesses and will sign up before 30 days are up - as entrepreneur - has lots of cards to send out every month and will promote concept to all her existing downline and new downline. Money is slight issue as her husband has been undergoing chemo and been unable to work but is starting back to work and she has had some good sales so she is expecting a few good weeks of checks in few weeks...
Then I met with Marcia's Classic Sandwiches and got her new business entity signed up and that will net me approx $150 in commissions this week. Went home, did her paperwork, turned it in and it was approved by end of day.
Then to Roseville to meet with smog guy. Had to wait almost an hou for him because as he said he has no way to plan for it as he is all alone but he was super nice and cool and we hit it off and was very comfortable and when we finally got to looking at his existing fees and such it was a no-brainer to switch. I have follow up with him tomorrow afternoon as he has to check on his terminal lease to see if he is stuck with it, which means I sign him with Capital Bankcard, or if he is done with it, in which case I sign him with EXS.
While I was waiting for him I talked to the Window tinting / windshield repair guy at the same location and I meet with him tomorrow - he is very anxious to switch as his money takes 5 days to get to him.
Oh, and Kathy, my SOC appt, referred me to her friends who own a great store in Old Sacramento and I will be speaking to them tomorrow to set up a meeting.
So... a good day!

Monday 3/20
I don't know what happened to Friday's post...and over the weekend I didn't even think about it because most of what I did didn't seem so much like work as cleaning my crap up.
I think I absolutely deleted it when I was updating it Friday night after services...so be it -
I worked all day like a good boy and made a lot of calls and set a couple of appointments for this week.
Today was a productive day for sure, man (and woman).
I started out the day making some calls to existing clients and old EMG clients under the guise of making sure that they got their terminals updated for "spring ahead"...I made about 18 calls before I set an appointment with US Cycle and Tire for later today - 2 PM.
Then I got paperwork together for that appointment - got a couple of old EMG clients recent statements together using my super spy techniques to picth them on switching.
Appt with US Cycle from 2-330 - signed him up with EXS.
Drove to Folsom to visit 3 different existing clients -1 out of 3 there..
Then appt with DR Cigars - went okay - 50% shot - Wednesday followup call with Lindsey
Then home - dinner - paperwork on deal turned in.

Thursday 3/17
left home at 6:40 to attend Capital Connection mastermind-networking meeting at clients' location, Trailmix in Old Sac. During the meeting I received warm lead for new business opening early May. Placed call and left message to lead following.
Then I was off to my men's entrepreneur's bootcamp. While there had opportunity to go further in depth about exactly what I do and Paul, one of the members who is a salon owner, said he will get me in front of some of his fellow salon owners and to follow up with him Monday in that regard and nail down some specific names/places.
Brief meeting with Ken at Old Soul then off to do about 1 hr of calls to former EMG clients. Then to Jewish Federation to install their virtual terminal from 1-2. Went smoothly.
Then meeting from 215-315 with Ryan of Upward Trend, marketing management company about strategic alliance with them . They have over 55 monthly paying clients and Ryan agreed that he will talk to partner Terry about having conversations with specific clients of theirs to get me appts.
Then off to Antelope for Miriam's swim meet where in between races I made calls to existing clients to ask for referrals. That lead to one more appt and one more business to follow up with to set appt.
Then dinner, then sent sendoutcards to some followups and then this and bed.

Wednesday 3/16
Today started out with an early morning emergency from Old Soul and then one from Tower pipes and cigars. I allowed both to railroad my morning because of the power both have as merchants worth their weight in gold to me. I was busy from 8:30-noon taking care of their issues. Not ideal start to the day but for now a necessary evil and greatly appreciated by the clients.
Then from noon until 3 I made outgoing calls to over 25 former emg clients and existing networking contacts. That lead to 2 more appointments. One on Friday and one next week.
Had an appointment that upon qualifying call realized that we were not a good fit for services match. Then when making a second appt qualifying call for appt Friday determined that the prospect was not ready for me yet.
from 3 until 6 I did first-time prospecting emailing and follow up emails to people I had already met.
Then dinner then Yachad.

Today I was still exhausted like yesterday but a much more productive day overall.
Dealt with emails and such stuff the first hour of the day.
Then I made a dozen calls to former EMG clients - reached a couple - one I am emailing, one switched already despite having spoken to them when I first switched over - said that it was tough to separate me from EMG.
Left messages for 9. Spoke with one who asked me to email her some info.
Then spoke with future client I am meeting later this week. Gave her some information I needed her to gather. Then spoke with 4th processor, UBC, and got paperwork in order to get agreements for the above-mentioned client.
Then appt with a salon owner who is shopping processors.
Then back to the office and dealt with some current merchant issues.
Read industry newsletter article about current security issue in industry and then made another 18 prospecting calls (some to current merchants for referrals).
Prepared 2 bids - one for salon and one for appt later this week.

dinner
researched ideal businesses to call tomorrow for no credit check financing product - furniture, audio-stereo, wheels shops, bedding stores.
