Residual Growth Expert Names November as Say No to Attrition Month

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. -- Residual Growth Expert, a leading ISO business advisory firm, today announced that they are naming November as Say No to Attrition month. Attrition is a major problem for many banks, ISOs and credit card processing companies because rates traditionally go up during the holiday season. By turning their efforts toward retaining their current list of clients during this time of the year, ISOs and other credit card processing companies can combat this trend and enjoy greater financial stability.

Merchant attrition is an ongoing problem for companies involved in the credit card processing industry. A study conducted by AITE Group in 2008 indicated that pricing was the single most important factor that influenced merchants to switch credit card processors. Almost half of all respondents to the study also cited slow reaction times and poor customer service as important contributing factors in their decisions. By paying close attention to the needs of their clients, ISOs can often reduce the risk of departures for perceived greener pastures when processing costs rise.

The holiday season is especially risky for credit card processors. Rates go up during this season, which can prompt clients to look elsewhere for a better deal. The new initiative announced by Residual Growth Expert aims to change that paradigm.

Co-Founder Tony Shap noted, "It costs about twice as much to acquire a new merchant than it does to retain one." By focusing efforts on encouraging clients to stick with their current credit card processor rather than on acquiring new customers during the month of November, Shap believes that ISOs can boost their profitability and can build on their successes throughout the upcoming year.

The "Say No to Attrition" initiative will roll out on November 1 and will provide actionable information and guidance to companies who participate in this program. By placing the focus on existing customers and ensuring that they receive the most responsive customer service and the fastest resolution of their issues, Residual Growth Expert can help ISOs and other credit card processing firms to leverage their current success into increased profitability now and into the future.

Supreme Lending’s Trey Horton Supports Alabama Communities Through Mortgage Loans and Charitable Contributions

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Trey Horton (NMLS # 208824), a loan officer with Supreme Lending's Birmingham, Alabama branch, is using his knowledge and experience with purchase mortgage loan products including renovation home loans, to help rebuild communities in Alabama. Horton, who is a board member with Grace Klein Community, a nonprofit organization that focuses on providing relief to the poor, the distressed and the underprivileged, has volunteered for the organization for over three years.

"The best part of transacting renovation loans is the difference you make, not only in borrowers' lives, but also in the lives of everyone who lives in their communities," said Horton. "You can truly rebuild and elevate communities one home at a time."

Horton has been in the housing industry for 33 years. He has knowledge of the full range of conventional, nonconventional and jumbo mortgage products, including extensive experience with renovation loans such as Fannie Mae's HomeStyle Renovation Mortgage and FHA's 203(k) loan program.

Supreme Lending, a nationwide mortgage lender that actively supports the communities it serves, recently became a corporate sponsor of the Grace Klein Community.

"At Supreme, we want to always remember that our business impacts the lives of the individuals, families and communities we serve," said Scott Everett, president of Supreme Lending. "We see that as a responsibility. You can see it in actions from loan officers like Trey, to the fundraising and volunteer efforts we do in the corporate office, our company is about making a difference."

"Renovation loans are different from traditional mortgages. They can be prone to delays and other challenges that can be frustrating for borrowers in the hands of an inexperienced loan originator," said Horton. "Supreme has one of the best-if not the best-renovation programs in the industry. My borrowers get smooth easy transactions, I get satisfied clients and the communities get stronger, healthier homes. It's a perfect match."

About Supreme Lending:

Established by founder Scott Everett in 1999, Supreme Lending is a full-service mortgage lender licensed in 50 states with branches throughout the U.S, adding more branches each month.

At 14, Married Off to a 26-Year-Old Ex-Convict: What This Child Bride Survivor Did With Her Story

DALLAS, Texas -- Texas ranks number 2 with the highest number of child marriages. Child bride survivor, Trevicia Williams, helped lawmakers outlaw forced marriages in Texas and step in the direction of ending child marriages when she courageously became the face of the problem as she shared her jaw dropping testimony, and, on June 1, bolstered her advocacy work by writing a heartfelt letter to Governor Greg Abbott urging him to sign SB 1705.

She shared how, at 14, she was picked up from high school by her mother, carried to Justice of the Peace court, married off to a 26 year old man recently out of prison, and, slept on the floor of the church that helped arrange the marriage. On the list of new laws in Texas effective September 1, is a stricter marriage law; however, 16 and 17 year olds can still marry with the approval of a judge or if they have been legally emancipated from their parents.

Williams says there's still work to do. "Most women that I've coached during my 'I Love You, But, I Can't Stand You Right Now' healthy mother daughter relationship seminar admit that they were not psychologically mature enough to handle being in a serious relationship during their teenage years and want their daughters to enjoy being girls," says Williams.

A Frontline.com report shows that over 200,000 child marriages have taken place in America since 2,000, 90% of them being girls. Texas is on America's leader board with some 40,000 children under the age of 18 married between 2000 and 2014. Williams feels strongly that the minimum age for marriage should be at least 18 in all 50 states.

She recently served as a panelist during a Tahirih Justice Center sponsored Falling Through the Cracks: A Conversation on Child Marriage in Today's America consultation that was moderated by renowned journalist Gayle Tzemach Lemmon. of PBS, noting that "Child marriage is a mindset problem that must be changed." Understanding the power of a survivor's voice and story, she also shared her written testimony with Florida legislators during their October 24th hearing on SB 140 on banning child marriages which was unanimously voted in favor of. The new law would mandate that the minimum age for marriage is 18 with no exceptions.

"As with my experience, girls who are in underage marriages suffer many things including domestic violence, restrictions on access to education, stifled social development due to isolation, fewer opportunities to grow and advance, poor and inadequate health care and lack of knowledge about their rights," said Williams.

There are many consequences associated with early marriage. Domestic violence is one of them. All too often, the public hears stories about domestic violence involving adult women like the recent news about Ezekiel Elliott and ex-girlfriend, Tiffany Thomas. Those stories are awful and unacceptable. Adding to the issue, few people know the number of underage girls who are in arranged and forced marriages and suffering domestic violence.

Williams said that her own experiences of being physically and psychologically abused during her child marriage and pregnancy is another reason that she became the face for the child marriage problem in Texas. "Domestic violence within child marriages is yet another way that the inherent vulnerabilities of underage girls is violated," says Williams.

"Not only was parental consent a mask for coercion and child abuse, it was also robbery of my childhood...years of normal academic, social and life skill developing teenage experiences that I can't get back," says Williams.

Consent is another aspect of child marriages that's oftentimes overlooked. Whether you're talking about Bill Cosby, DeMario and Corrine on Bachelor in Paradise or Savannah, the Alabama teen who reported being raped by a popular football player or a child bride, consent is the focal point. Many states have established an age floor for sexual consent between 16 and 18, but, child marriages enable people to bypass statutory rape laws.

The new Texas marriage law means new marriage license guidelines for county clerks, and, perhaps fewer under aged marriage related divorces for family lawyers. Jacquelyn Floyd of the Dallas Morning News commended Williams for helping to outlaw forced child marriages in Texas noting that, for once, she's proud of her state.

"Being a high school freshman should have been a prohibitive factor to me becoming a child bride. However, due to Texas' parental consent legal loophole that was previously on the law books, it wasn't. Now, it is, and, I'm happy about what that means for protecting the childhood and potentials of girls all over Texas," said Williams.

About Real Beauty Inside Out:

Trevicia Williams, Ph.D., a child marriage survivor, advocate and motivational speaker, went on to found The Institute for Full Potential Living through which she runs a program called Real Beauty Inside Out to foster healthy mother, daughter and family relationships. She has helped countless moms and daughters work through their differences through her popular, "I Love You, But, I Can't Stand You Right Now" seminars and book. She also inspires, motivates and empowers women, staff, and, members of organizations through her inspirational speeches and learning and development training at conferences throughout the year.

Who’s Destroying ‘Health Care’ in America? asks Dr. Don Harte

CORTE MADERA, Calif. -- Dr. Don Harte, noted Northern California chiropractor and former Libertarian state senate candidate, declares: "Both sides, both parties, are saying that the other is destroying health care."

Dr. Harte observes: "There's a long history of collusion between the Medical Establishment, Big Pharma and Big Government." Harte comes to the conclusion that "Together, they've created an industry that no one can afford. And, it's the very definition of fascism, industry supported and protected by government."

Dr. Harte continues, "Not only can no one afford so-called 'health care.' No one is getting healthy! He cites "an epidemic of Alzheimer's, strokes, heart disease and diabetes Type II hitting younger and younger people, and the plagues upon our children of autism, psychiatric disorders, Type I diabetes, asthma and life-threatening allergies." Harte challenges all of us to look at results: "With far greater 'access,' there is far more sickness, and far less health."

"In this over-politicized climate," Harte states, "people expect every problem to have a governmental solution. This only makes this sick health care system sicker. Europe as an ideal? It's no ideal! Exorbitant taxes pay for poorer care. P.J. O'Rourke said: 'If you think Medicine is expensive now, wait until it's free.'"

Harte's revolutionary idea? "Chiropractic, THE health profession that pursues health rather than attacking disease, MUST become the prominent system, over and above Medicine. It's basic biology that the body heals itself through the brain and the nervous system. This is the province of Chiropractic.

"Look at the record of the Establishment's war on cancer, heart disease, etc. It's pathetic! You want healthy people, at infinitely less cost? Chiropractic is the answer!

"This American-grown profession began in 1895 with a deaf man who regained his hearing after his first adjustment. A paper just came out about a teenage girl, blind in one eye, whose sight was restored after two chiropractic adjustments."

Dr. Harte's conclusion? "Since 1895, millions have gotten off dangerous medications, avoided risky surgeries, gotten well from conditions that were 'medically impossible,' and, in general, lived healthier, happier lives, because of this much-maligned, much-misunderstood, grossly underutilized profession... Chiropractic. Rely on Chiropractic for Health, Medicine for emergencies. That would be a real health care system. It would be one that we could afford."

Dr. Don Harte, former medical student, is a principled, traditional chiropractor serving the Greater San Francisco Bay Area since 1981. Dr. Harte was named 2006 "Chiropractor of the Year" by the World Chiropractic Alliance (WCA). He has served on the Boards of the WCA and the Council on Chiropractic Practice. His articles have been published in OMNI magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, Chiropractic Journal and Journal of the California Chiropractic Association.
