No more failure to communicate...

So therefore we created the GoNextWorld

Support forums for businesses and consumers.    

Almost ready for launch...

Welcome Package - (part 8 of 9)

Each business that joins GoNextWorld will receive a welcome package in the mail full of information that helps them understand who we are and what we aim to accomplish.  This is just one of the pieces...

----

Welcome to GoNextWorld!  We developed this program to be your premier method of evaluating whether or not your advertising is actually working   and we combined it with the most universal and efficient mobile rewards program.  Our software application is simple, fast, and effective for you and your customers. 

Businesses rely heavily on NEW customers.  Unlike many other rewards program you might have seen, OUR rewards/incentive program has the ability to increase your NEW customers.  Consumers will be enticed to shop at your business due to their UNIVERSAL rewards.

As a finance major from Duquesne University, we were taught to study the stock market daily.  We relied heavily on quick and precise snapshots of a business to evaluate progress and the business’ value.  So, our team implemented a similar feel to evaluate one’s own business within the GoNextWorld Management tools.  We felt it was time to break all the essentials down to a simple number. 

Your thoughts on our product and service mean a great deal to us.  We would very much like to hear YOUR FEEDBACK.  Our quest for progress will not be successful without it.  Therefore, if you have any questions/comments/feedback, please feel free to email me at Mike@GoNextWorld.com.

We truly value your business and would like to thank you for Moving Forward with us. 

Keep Moving Forward,

Michael R.  Fallat

President, CEO, & Co-Founder

GNW coloring book for kids in September!

......Inspiration can come in many forms...

When she begins... 10.13

In preparation for the national launch, we are simplifying it all into 1 package.  This makes it so much easier on the participating businesses...and our accounting department :)

Dear Business Owner,

Universal Mobile Rewards

We built this because every rewards program we saw was a mess. A survey of 300 daily shoppers, 97% agreed they would prefer 1 Universal Rewards Account for all the places they shopped.  Consumers were tired of having 10 different punch cards, scanning pictures and codes, and keeping track of very confusing points per each different business.  The excess caused the consumers to not even use them.  This is NOT good for businesses. The Rewards programs we saw did not get businesses NEW customers.  This is NOT good for businesses. The rewards programs we saw were extremely limiting the businesses.  This is NOT good for the businesses. 

 ....

So, we created our own currency – the Next World Buck and it is to be only accepted at GoNextWorld.com to purchase Store Credit to thousands of businesses. And to make it VERY Simple - 1 Next World Buck equals 1 U.S. Dollar. 

Through complete integration within your POS system, you can reward every customer with Absolute Ease.  If your POS system does not automatically take the customers phone number, then you would simply ask for the customers phone number.  Upon completion of the sale, 3% of the Sale Total is transferred to the Customer’s GoNextWorld Account and turned into Next World Bucks.  The Customer has 45 days to use the rewards until it expires.  They use the rewards by purchasing Store Credit towards any business on GoNextWorld.com in increments of $3.00.

But you want them to use it, because that means you will have a Repeat shopper.  That is why we made it so universal and linked to Thousands of different businesses.  The more universal, the more likely a customer will actually use it!

So, when they do use it to buy Store Credit towards your business on GoNextWorld.com, you will be notified on your GoNextWorld POS APP immediately!  When they are ready to redeem,  you would process the GNW purchase, which credits the customer, and then run the sale as normal.

More Sales and Constant Valuable Data for better decision making … Every business’ goal....

....along with freedom.   

      

But dont think twice...

Last week was one giant mental pivot.  As we near the true national launch in September/October, we are making some instrumental and crucial changes.  With the addition of our CFO, we will be altering our entire structure for THE BETTER.  Fine tuning a product takes time, sometimes it takes a voice of clarity..and sometimes it just takes something to click.  Well, something clicked this past week.  

Taking an idea and exposing that idea to 1 business THEN TO 10 businesses THEN TO 100 businesses THEN TO 1000 businesses is a process.  The first 2 years was about finding balance, direction, feel, ....not profit.    That is going to change now. 

We found that it is extremely important to have a system that is driven....not by the consumers, not by the employees, and not by the businesses.  It has to be driven by GNW...
 

GNW University

Entrepreneurs are destined to change the world.  IDEAS combined with ACTION and the RIGHT TEAM is what is required to turn your IDEA into a reality. 

If you would read about our HISTORY, then you would see that…

We were a start-up that began in the hallway with no help.  We have been rejected by many uninterested investors.  We know the feeling of everyone around you telling you not to risk it all for your dream and to stick with your good paying job because it’s the “safe” move.  We know what it’s like to look in the mirror and to believe in yourself 110% and to KNOW you can do it. 

We were there.

It wasn’t until our team picked up a few key players, people that have seen it all before, that we really started to break through the walls.  To be surrounded by a team that has the same vision and work ethic is the difference between a good company and great company. 

It’s in our blood to help those that are in a similar situation as we were.  As an entrepreneur, it is difficult to find people that are like you.   It took us many years, many mistakes, and a lot of luck to find the right team.  But, we did.

That is why we want to help you make it happen, prove all the naysayers wrong, and to help change the world with you.

GNW University is for the entrepreneurs that need help with LEGAL, ACCOUNTING, and BRANDING.  If you believe in what GoNextWorld stands for….  AND you too have “Keep Moving Forward” carved in your heart, then our team is right for you. 

Let’s “Keep Moving Forward” together

Submissions are closed at this time.  They will re-open in 4Q of 2012.

This is the first time I laid eyes on her...

Pizza shops run off of Phone Numbers.  GoNextWorld will be directly integrated into the thousands of POS PIZZA merchants in the near future.  Once the customer goes to pay for their meal, the computer prompts 1 question.

Yes or No is the only answer.  Nothing else is required.  Nothing.  The customer is immediately rewarded.

Thousands of people, thousands of businesses.



Today is the first time we laid eyes on a functional SEAMLESS GNW APP within a POS system.

I never believed in love at first site....until today.

No Limits Living

 No Limits Living - An upcoming sector of GoNextWorld

GoNextWorld believes an ACTIVE lifestyle is one of the most important ingredients to a happy and successful existence.  Our incentive company was built upon the idea of rewarding people for going out and enjoying the world around them.  To push yourself beyond any imaginable limit is commendable.  If you are a person that takes life to the limit… AND PAST IT, then you are one of us and we are one of you.  “GoNextWorld No Limits” is about highlighting all the people that constantly push their craft and their passion to new territory.  These are the people are addicted to Marathons, Bicycle Trips, Skydiving,  Extreme Sports, Swimming Unimaginable Distances, Fast Cars, Beautiful Motorcycles, Off-Road Excursions, Mountain Climbing, Mud-Runs, Competitions, Surfing, Deep Sea Diving, ______, ______, __________, and  ________, etc.

There is no denying it…those that give it their all, stand out in THIS world and the NEXT

 To all the people that live for the adventure - Cheers, my friends!

E.O.S

This weekend was a chance to get away from the office.  With all my blood and sweat being put into helping the team create something that never existed, it's not too often that I get out and enjoy a beer by a fire.  And, as the summer comes to a close, I felt that a night out was justified.

I never like to see Summer come to an end.  However, this year is a little bit different.  Its pretty exciting to see Fall approach. Think about it....we can turn off the A/C, October 31 is near, and its great timing for GoNextWorld to transition from a walk to a jog!

Well, and there is the the main reason to be excited - we are getting our army back from Summer Break.  The army will be whole again!  There will be no reason for us not to accomplish our goal.

In a race against time, our team will continue to chop away at the overgrown path that lies ahead.    

The way I see it, we have 6 months to swing the ax as hard and as often as we can.....hopefully, the tree will fall and GoNextWorld will be where we want to be by 2/24/2013 (Our Anniversary Date!)

Years ago, my friend and I would race each other in chopping wood for the Camp.  It was fun until we were old enough to start playing with chainsaws.

Let me tell you from experience, chopping wood is fun...

but a machine doesn't ever get tired and it never slows down......

breakfast, oldies, and Halloween...

There are many things in my life that I owe to my mom - My love of Halloween, my ability to cook a decent breakfast, my ear for oldies music, and many more.  (I swear she put 3WS on in my crib when I was an infant. )

She is undergoing another back surgery later today.  And since I think she is one of the 4 people that actually reads my blog, I figured to write one just for her as she recovers in the hospital. 

There are not too many mothers that would fully support their son when their son comes home one day and tells them

 "I quit my job today to begin creating a company with a business model that does not exist yet"

But she did.

She has always been behind me and GoNextWorld.  That means more than you could ever imagine.


Much of my strength comes from you, mom.  That is how I know you will make it through this.

love ya,
mikey

The Employee Incentives

There is one big question that people that have always asked us:

People:
The New System is heavily reliant on the employee at each business to ask the customer if they want 3% of Sale Total to GoNextWorld. 

Giant Eagle, Office Max, and Best Buy employees ask each customer if they have their rewards card.  So, why on earth would an employee at Joe's Food Shop ask their customers if they want 3% from sale total towards GoNextWorld?


Us:
Very Simple.

For starters -  It is in the best interest of the business.  The more transactions = the more accurate their data is.  The more transactions = more customers with more Next World Bucks to use towards Joe's Food Shop at a later date.  Hopefully, the manager/owners conveys this message to the employee.  But, if not, there is our newest addition:  EMPLOYEE INCENTIVES.

In our new update due out in September/October - Employees will receive a reward for every transaction.  This has never been done before.

The employee will receive 30% of the reward total on every transaction.  All they have to do, is put in their phone number too!!!  This will replace their CLERK ID.  The ease and simplicity is astounding.  Just wait...

Every transaction, Every sale, the employee will get Next World Bucks to use towards anything they want. 

Incentives for 1)  The business, 2)  the employee, 3) and the customer. 

Look closely at our system, 3 is an important number...


Maybe there is a reason - 

Three: The spiritual meaning of number Three deals with magic, intuition, fecundity, and advantage. The number Three invokes expression, versatility, and pure joy of creativity. Three is also a time identifier as it represents Past, Present and Future. Consecutive Threes in your life may symbolize the need to express yourself creatively, or consider your present directional path in relation to past events and future goals. Three may also represent promising new adventures, and assurance of cooperation from others whom you may require help. Three typically symbolizes reward and success in most undertakings.

I was able to see the Employee Incentives fully functional  for first time this morning..

Immediately, i wrote an email to our Chief Technical Officer that is responsible for the breakthrough

My email read:

" The employee reward is gorgeous.    It reminds me of the first time I saw Jenny McCarthy on "Singled Out"."

His response was:

" ..... And that's just scratching the surface!"

CASTLE-vania

Starting a business is like building a house.  Businesses must be built from the ground up and must be built correctly in order for it to withstand the storms, time, and everyday events.   However, the way we see it, we are not building a house...we are building a castle.  

As a start-up business, you learn your weaknesses very quickly, but it takes a long time to find the RIGHT pillars for the castle to stand.  Strength comes from all the pillars acting as one.  If there is one weak pillar, the castle will crumble. 

As a finance major, I was the acting CFO for GoNextWorld for the first 3 years.  However, I do not have nearly the experience that is needed for what is to come. This was a weakness for GoNextWorld.  

Last night, our team became much stronger.  Our new CFO brings over 20 years of legal, tax, and accounting experience to the GoNextWorld team.  And yes, she acquired her JD from Duquesne University.

Where once was a weakness, is now a true strength.

Brick by brick, let the castle take form...


Kelley, you have always been there for us.  It has always felt that you are a part of the team.  We are thrilled to have you on board going forward.  We will not let you down. Welcome.
