Proposal description
Yesterday (07/20/2018) we held a conference aimed at the Real Estate Sector, with the presence of 200 Real Estate agents and the participation of the most important Real Estate franchises in Venezuela: Remax and Century21.
Details here
The important thing about this activity was that the franchises asked us for a specialized workshop to carry out the sales of properties in Dash, as a form of protection against inflation.
I speak of this here because the specialized course, we can even do it stratified by Sectors of the Economy ... not only directed to Merchants.
Imagine that the Real Estate websites in Venezuela published the properties in Dash. I see this a big opportunity considering the amount of money involved in Real Estate sales.
Consider this point when voting for our proposal.
Thanks
Specialized Course for Merchants/Maracay-Venezuela
Presentation video
This proposal is designed with the specific objective of instructing 240 merchants interested in implementing Dash as a payment method in their establishments. To achieve this goal we propose to offer a specialized course to 8 different groups of merchants (30 per course).
We seek the greatest effectiveness at the lowest cost; therefore, the businesses that will participate in this program will be pre-selected through a survey that we will conduct to the people enrolled in our database. The courses will be face-to-face and each will have duration of 8 academic hours.
Reasoning:
In several meetings that Dash Maracay has held with merchants and industrialists, we have noticed that their doubts are focused specifically on legality, accounting and implementation of control software. Although each business has its own working model, we thought it would be more effective to group together different merchants in one room to provide direct support and clarify any concerns in a group setting.
Given the current conditions in Venezuela and considering that our legal regulations allow us to advance in this area, we consider it important to develop this type of activities with the aim of making Dash the most widely used Cryptocurrency in the Central Region of the country.
Dash = Confidence
In a conversation with a trader who attended our first Conference on April 19, he pointed out that Dash has a great singularity: "Dash has a human side". He understood that the presence of our staff, coordinators and managers, shows that Dash isn't 100% virtual; that there are human beings with a long history behind this cryptocurrency. The merchant stressed: "This gives me confidence”. We highlight this point, as the course will be face-to-face and merchants will be able to interact with us (Dash Maracay).
Expected Results:
Upon completion of the project, the 240 businesses will be able to implement Dash correctly in their establishments. They will receive the necessary advertising material to promote Dash (Talkers, Decals and others). Additionally, they will be registered in Discover Dash and other promotional platforms.
ROI:
The great advantage of taking the course with preselected participants is that it will substantially increase the effectivity and imply a lower cost in the project.
Methodology:
Pre-selección de los merchants/businesses:
Our community has over 1500 people, segmented as follows:
With the objective of increasing the database of businesses in our web platform, we have made an institutional alliance with the State of Aragua Chamber of Commerce and Industries. Under this agreement we will be able to invite more businesses to take the proposed course.
To select course attendees, we will conduct a survey to measure intention to adopt Dash as a method of payment; this will allow the course to be given to people who are really interested, thus obtaining a high effectivity.
Number of Attendees:
We will ask merchants to attend the course with a companion (Business Partner, Store Manager or Trusted Staff); this will contribute to supplement the scenarios that may arise when implementing Dash in the establishments with different perspectives.
Course Dynamics:
The course will have a Theoretical-Practical approach: the theoretical part will consist of explaining everything concerning the Basics, Legal Dispositions, Accounting, Taxation, POS System and Marketing Strategies for an effective implementation of Dash. The practical aspect will focus on classroom simulation of the implementation of Dash in each of the businesses. Merchants will be assured of the support of the general Dash community.

- Number of Adoptions: We estimate effectiveness between 60% and 80%.
- Time of recruitment: Immediate, since they will have a complete induction.
- Low Proposal Cost.
- Multiplier Effect: Merchants will place an announcement in their establishments indicating that "DASH, Digital Cash, is accepted here". This would have a multiplier effect on other parties who might be interested in implementing Dash in their establishments.
- Brand Positioning: Users who visit the stores will have the opportunity to explore Dash as a form of payment.
- We will increase the number of businesses registered on the Discover Dash platform, thus increasing the number of visits.

Discussion: Should we fund this proposal?

* only 7,5Dash per course needed.
Regardless of not receiving the funds, we will continue working to make Dash the most widely used Cryptocurrency in the Central Region of Venezuela
Will vote YES ..but tight month for budget.
In fact, we plan to record the course. Our production team will be in charge of recording and editing all the material of the course and then put it on YouTube. Just this week we met with all the production team to touch these details. We also confirm that the merchants will have the opportunity to interact with us to clarify any doubts.
The scheme of 8 courses, will allow us to obtain enough material for postproduction.
After much thought I have come to realise that the merchants hold the key to breaking the "chicken and egg" situation of not enough merchants not enough customers here's why.
A merchant can accept DASH as a form of payment with no risk to themselves once they have been on this course. But in addition the merchant no becomes an automatic "AD" for DASH because they will have the DASH, DIGITAL CASH ACCEPTED HERE point of sale cards on both their windows and near their cash tills. Now imagine how many customers even a small corner shop has that visit that shop every day, week and month? A small grocery shop will have several thousand people per month visiting. All of these people are going to be exposed to DASH branding and DASH message when they visit these shops that have received the training. Now imagine that these point of sales cards all have a link to this page: https://dashhelpme.io/videos/ The customers would learn all they need to know about DASH. In this way merchants are now active promoters of DASH. Therefore just one merchant could convert thousands of their customers to DASH in a practical and real way.
Now also imagine that at these courses the merchants are instructed that if they refer another merchant to be trained they would receive $10 in DASH as an incentive to do some promotion activity e.g. post on social media about DASH, inform at least 5 other merchants about DASH and create an email signature that says "We accept DASH digital cash do you? Ti learn about the safe, secure digital currency DASH click here https://dashhelpme.io/videos/ " that email signature would go out with every email they send out.
In this way the trained merchants at this event become decentralized marketing agents to spread the word of DASH to all their customers. The great thing about this campaign is that if you think about it the customers that learn about DASH will know where they can spend it! It is such an eligant and powerful social marketing strategy.
The merchants are the key to getting DASH established in Venezuela and other LATAM countries. Social, decentralized, focused marketing right in the heart of local commerce.
I think this team are very smart to work this out.
Voting YES!
It is essential that merchants believe in Dash. That is why we design the course in this way, the merchants should feel that they have full support of a large community worldwide and especially in Venezuela.
I agree with your appreciation that all these merchants become an advertising vehicle for the brand. We look very carefully at your proposal to encourage traders to promote Dash. We will evaluate, with the budget we have, apply this mechanism without detracting from the quality of the project.
Thank you very much for your comment and your great support.
Regards
Williams
