PANIC if you receive the following email from Stripe: “Unfortunately, we will need to stop offering service to your business at this time.” Because you’re out of business until you find a new processor.

Why buy a new car when all you need is new headlights??? 🤦‍♀️ Client had a transaction approval rate under 80%... So over 20% of customers who WANTED to buy weren't able to 💀 How we fixed this... A higher approval rate = more $$$ without having to buy MORE traffic

It's honestly amazing... 🌿 👉There are HUNDREDS of legal cannabis dispensaries in New York 👉There were NONE last time I visited... just over 5 years ago It's astonishing - back in 2019, payment processors wouldn't approve cannabis transactions.

Shockingly true ⚠️ When conversions are low, most biz owners obsess over: 👉Email open-rates 👉Clickthrough rates 👉Landing page copy But it's often the pricing page that's hurting your conversions. 💡Create 2 versions 💡Keep playing with them 💡Watch sales climb

Why does this get SOOOO many online businesses shut down? t's common. A customer presses 'buy' too many times, and BAM 💣 👉They see the same transaction 2x on their credit card statement 👉They request a refund 👉Stripe freezes the business owner's account This is an EASY fix

"They requested a chargeback after 540 days???" Business owners are surprised by this. This think customers only have 120 days to dispute a transaction. But this isn't always the case ⚠️ More info on chargeback disputes in my latest YT ep.

A sad truth... There's no such thing as: 👉A perfect day 👉A perfect place 👉Even a perfect moment. No matter what the travel industry says. Is accepting that perfection doesn't exist a sign of maturity?

Let me explain... 👉Montreal's traffic has become HORRIFIC. Here's the thing: Private businesses are more efficient than government. What if there was a financial incentive for a business to fix Montreal's congestion issues? Do you think there'd be as many bike lanes? 💬

I'm the 1st point of contact. Always. For every client. If you work with DirectPayNet, you're talking to me. So here's a question 👇 How big does a company have to be for its Founder to stop being the 1st point of contact with clients?
