6 2/26/13 Why bother? The busness landscape has changed drama6cally. Cold calls are vrtually a waste of 6me. Too much compe66on, too many choces. People buy ether drectly or ndrectly from someone who they trust 2/26/13 4 I'm too busy You're too busy NOT to network effec6vely! Make t a prorty daly, weekly, monthly. Connect wth EVERYONE that s poten6ally relevant.but be focused. 2/26/13 5 It s a waste of tme Change your strategy, change your results! Have a busness networkng plan: What specfc people do you want to meet wth? What type of company do you want to do busness wth? What s your target market, who are your customers and how can you get n front of them? 2/26/13 6 2

8 2/26/13 Let your actons do the talkng What a lack of prompt follow up says about you: Do Not Trust. Do what you say you were gong to do (connect, communcate or otherwse add value) Be sure to answer the ques6on: Why should we stay n touch? 2/26/13 10 Helpng others. Helpng yourself.

15 2/26/13 How Well Do You Know Your Portfolo (Really.)? Presented by: Derek DePuydt Lone Palm Consultng Hgh Level Ponts of Dscusson In every portfolo, there are hdden opportuntes, and rsks. Know the ndustry standards. Focus on the trends. One perod s not suffcent. Analyze customer count, transacton count, sales volume, and resdual amount. All are mportant n ther own way. Attenton should be on what others would want n your portfolo, even f you never plan to sell. Once the analyss s complete, make realstc short term and long term goals. Common Metrcs - 1 SIC Code stratfcaton SIC lst should be broken out between low / medum / hgh rsk. Certan SIC codes are cyclcal n nature to the economy, whle others are counter-cyclcal. Attrton levels do vary across SIC codes 1

16 2/26/13 Common Metrcs - 2 Demographc data Portfolo should be analyzed by regon. Havng a concentraton n one demographc regon can be devastatng (.e. Tropcal Storm Sandy). Regons wll have sgnfcantly dfferent characterstcs. Common Metrcs - 3 Tme n Busness - Maturty Should be measured n months, not years. Attrton wll be hgher for new busnesses. New busness wll typcally have hgher margn. Common Metrcs - 4 A varaton of Same-Store sales Shows the strength of your portfolo as compared to the economy. Defnton: A statc portfolo comparng one month to another n total. It s mportant to use the same calendar month when calculatng. Ths analyss can be further examned at lower levels. 2

17 2/26/13 Secondary Products Vtal to ncreasng customer retenton. They can come n many forms. May be ted to the Payment ndustry. May be related to marketng plans. May be outsde of the payments ndustry altogether. May be ted to technology. Valuaton Metrcs There are common tems that can decrease the value of your portfolo. Attrton s the most mportant varable. Hgh Margn. Sounds counter ntutve. Concentraton rsks. Seasonalty fluctuatons. Secondary products, or lack thereof. Portfolo Analyss Take the tme necessary to analyze your portfolo accordngly. Processors do make errors! Use Mcrosoft Excel for analyss f possble. Some reportng systems do have canned reports that can be used. Do not be afrad to brng n help f ths s not your expertse. As new technology develops (.e. moble, EMV), you wll want to ncorporate new metrcs related to the changng technology. 3

18 2/26/13 Summary What s the reward for all of the extra work? Identfyng rsks or opportuntes before t s too late. Early dentfcaton of errors. Your portfolo wll command a premum, f you ever choose to sell. You wll know what to look for when purchasng a portfolo. You wll be amazed at what s found wthn your own portfolo. As they say, Knowledge s Power. Thank You For Your Tme Derek DePuydt Lone Palm Consultng E-mal: derek@lonepalmconsultng.com Phone:
