Colleagues that have worked with me for the last 10 years, especially when I was in Marketing, know that I have been saying this all along, with a slight twist. I’ve coached them not to start “I work for X. We are the biggest in Y. Therefore, you should want to do business with us.” I use the test-question: “Good for you. What’s in it for me?” Try again: “We are the biggest” - customer: “Good for you, but… How does that help me make money, save money, make my life easier?” Other variations: “We have a combined 100+ years doing this” “We have offices all over the country” “We have 50+% market share” You can still say all of these things - and they are good things - just try with the “What’s in it for me”: “We have a combined 100+ years experience doing this, so you can rest assured we’ll deliver what you need on time and at the right price” “We have offices all over the country to better serve our clients, so we can be on site quickly whenever you need us.” The Why is powerful! Your Why, your company’s Why, your customer’s Why. Don’t ever forget it.

Simon Sinek's The Optimism Company's insight into starting with "why" resonates with how crucial it is to approach both our personal and business relationships with the right intent, starting with the "WHY." In the realm of wealth, success, and investment, the "why" is the foundation that births purpose, drives action, and ultimately leads to our goals. 🎯 Whether you're an aspiring investor, financial coach, or entrepreneur, rooting your decisions and communications in a clear "why" can profoundly impact your wealth-building journey. Your purpose acts as a compass aligning with your values and resonates with those you interact with. By heeding this wisdom, we not only distinguish ourselves in the market but pave a more authentic, rewarding, and purposeful path to success. At Wealthology Australia, we understand the power of purpose-driven decisions in the realm of financial growth. Aligning goals with a meaningful "why" is the cornerstone of successful investing. Let's continue to embrace this perspective, fostering genuine connections and purpose-driven success in every aspect of our lives. 🌐💼 #StartWithWhy #PurposeDrivenSuccess #WealthologyWisdom

It is always good to step back and reflect. After attending the @Digital Euro Conference in Frankfurt two weeks good I had many promising follow-ups. And it looks like that this area will finally take-off. My key takeaways from the sessions: (1) It is not about the retail digital euro, the real leverage is in the wholesale payment system, (2) better building something new than fixing an old system and (3) a lot of work will be ahead of us (building the legal framework, developing the infrastructure, creating new business opportunities and adjusting existing business models. As always: Embrace disruption and change! #FutureOfFinance #DigitalEuroConference #DigitalEuro #Linklaters

Ecommerce Europe published its position paper on the Regulation on the establishment of the #DigitalEuro. The digital euro has the potential to transform European payments - increasing efficiency, promoting innovation and placing Europe at the forefront of payments technology globally. Under the right conditions, a digital euro could also be an important step for the inclusive digitalisation of our economy. Two conditions to unlock this potential: 👉 We should not replicate the compensation framework of existing private payment methods, and instead create a new incentive structure which leverages a future publicly owned infrastructure, with the right safeguard for merchants. 👉We must leverage the unique characteristics of this new public infrastructure to unlock benefits unavailable with legacy systems. Digital euro can bring forth faster and inexpensive transactions, greater innovation, and a more inclusive, accessible and consumer-centric solution.

Insights from my MPE panel discussion 🚀 Last week, I was part of the panel discussion “Acquiring value chain NOW” at the #MerchantPaymentsEcosystem (MPE) conference in Berlin. The topic? Acquiring as a highly competitive market - a realm that's experiencing rapid evolution and heightened competitive pressures. 🔎 My key takeaways: 👉 Market Consolidations: The acquiring market is witnessing significant consolidations as players like Nets and Concardis merge with Nexi to strengthen their position and curb costs amidst dwindling margins and stricter regulatory landscapes. 👉 Power to the Merchants: Merchants now have greater negotiating power thanks to a diverse range of cheaper payment solutions, leading acquirers to rethink their strategies. 👉 Innovative Payment Methods: The introduction of new payment methods such as wero, Request to Pay (RTP), Instant Payment, debit cards from Mastercard and Visa and the upcoming digital euro is reshaping German consumer behavior. This shift presents both challenges and opportunities for merchants and acquirers alike. 👉 Payment Orchestration as a game changer: To navigate this complex environment, the adoption of payment gateways and orchestration platforms is increasing. These platforms offer a seamless interface between various payment methods, enhancing flexibility, reducing processing complexities, and ultimately enabling merchants to easily switch between acquirers for better terms. 👉 Evolving Role of Acquirers: Acquirers must adapt by offering more than just payment services. This includes becoming platform providers and solution partners, integrating value-added services such as data analytics, loyalty programs, and comprehensive order-to-cash cycle management solutions. 🌟 Looking Ahead: The payment landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and it's clear that acquirers need to adapt swiftly to remain relevant and profitable. By aligning their value chain with these emerging trends and focusing on innovative solutions and partnerships, they can enhance customer loyalty and stand out in a highly competitive market. 🤝A big thank you to Mangala Martinus for moderating the panel, David Rintel, Igor Skachkov and Fahim Khair for the exciting discussion and the #MPE2024 for hosting such an insightful conference. At Thede Consulting we are excited to shape the future of payments together with our partners and clients.🚀 #payments #merchants #innovation #acquiring #mpecosystem
