A SMALL BIZ 
(1/7)
Yesterday I converted my first lead into a client
A bit of a hiccup on the proposal because I am still learning @mydubsado and creating systems + workflows to automate certain tasks.

(2/7) Last week I got my online payment gateway setup. Did a test via WooCommerce.m, which was successful.
Until I had to do it from the client’s POV
the number of clicks to get the page to actually put in the CC details was 5+ clicks too many for my liking.

(3/7) I’d be toying with the idea of using Podia or Thinkific to manage my recurring SM clients. Just hadn’t fleshed our the nuances of connecting as an http://Authorize.net merchant.

(4/7) That left Thinkific, which is a pretty cool tool and would require research to set up.
Then I remembered Simplero. Price wise idk how it compares to Thinkific and I have yet to confirm if Thinkific allows integration with http://Authorize.net

(6/7) HOWEVER that won’t be me Mainly cause my first client is international and that’s not how the companies overseas so it.
What I’m not gonna do is sell myself and my country short.

(7/7) This experience has taught me ALREADY why local banks need to offer WAY more to their business clients to allow them the resources to scale their businesses.
