In this first episode we will explore the environment for card payments and how they can resolve issues of compliance, control and security within the Requisition to Pay process. Vincent will be arguing that card payments are an essential tool for delivering business value for both the buyer and the supplier, but that there is a need for behavioural change to facilitate adoption. Some issues we will cover are the purpose of B2B payment cards, how to get staff to do what they are supposed to do, how to deploy effective controls to enable spend at approved suppliers and how to minimise security and risk. Introduction to HSBC Visa Podcasts:HSBC and Visa are launching a one-off podcast series of six episodes, hosted by financial expert Vincent Eavis. The aim of the series is to look deeper into the Requisition to Pay process and make the case for card payments, but in a way that is accessible and engaging for those who don't necessarily have an in-depth understanding of some of the processes involved. Vincent will be joined in these podcasts by guests including David Kitchener from Wessex Water, Joanne Towers, Managing Director, Europe Regional Head of Payments and Cards, Global Liquidity and Cash Management at HSBC and Duncan Kennett, Head of B2B at Visa Europe.

This second episode in the series shows how change is possible when there is a strong business case but to do this it is important to join up people across different functions like Treasury, Finance, Procurement, Sourcing and Accounts Payable. These different functions experience pain and benefits to different degrees, which affects their willingness to embrace - or resistance to - change. Who owns the buying process and/or the payments in the business? Everyone and no one? Some issues that Vincent will cover include the Supplier's perspective from the Order to Cash process, what is the real cost of a Purchase Order as well as the need to group transactions into high, low or no touch processes.

Episode three of this six-part series covers the business case for all parties a.k.a. “to B2B or not to B2B, that is the question?”. Vincent will drill deeper into the ‘prizes' for both supplier and buyer as well as looking in more detail at the Request to Pay process, from PO to Invoicing. He will suggest where card payments can deliver greater efficiencies, savings, and ultimately rewards for both parties. This episode covers how the business case for buyers and suppliers is calculated and what transactions should be targeted for card payments to boost business cases.

In episode four of this six-part series we address the question of data, making a strong case for businesses to share their data to the same extent as consumers do in their daily lives. We're looking at the purpose and value of each data set, how to manage it securely, and why card payments can go further than other payment solutions. Vincent explains how increased sharing and access of data can transform the corporate experience by improving the B2B experience for both buyer and supplier.

Most consumers don't think twice about what happens behind the scenes when they use their card to pay for something in a supermarket but for the stores themselves this is a point of contention. In this case they take on the card companies for alleged anti-competitive practices and the Supreme Court is offered the opportunity to consider a wide range of issues. In this episode we also have a broader discussion of economics and the law. Music from bensound.com

This week we have some great stories for you as Sarah and Simon are joined by a couple of great guests: Daniel Hegarty, CEO of Habito Sharon O’Dea, founder of communications and collaboration consultancy Lithos Partners We kick off the episode by taking a look at the RBS trials for a biometric fingerprint bank card. Sarah thinks it's not a terrible idea and a potential solution to upcoming Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) demands. But Simon and Daniel disagree. Simon thinks the whole thing is a gimmick and customers deserve a better UX whereas Daniel just can't see any good use cases for fingerprint cards (01:50). Next up, we talk about Bank of England telling VISA Europe to hire PwC after the 2018 outage. Simon reckons that having more eyes looking at the problem can only be a good thing while the outages problem rumbles on, Sharon agrees and comments that VISA's outage was a human error issue but there's a need to look at why that error could occur in the first place (08:36). We also have an interview with Nick Cook to find out more about the FCA appointing its first Director of Innovation.

"I wish everybody could get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer." Jim Carrey On the surface it's easy to think that becoming an entrepreneur is the ultimate gateway to happiness, fame and success. It's no surprise then that Visa Europe found that one in three people dream of starting their own business. But in reality, only one in ten actually take the leap. If you've seen my TEDx talk then you'll know how I feel about the need for us to change the way we talk about the reality of starting and growing a business. Especially when you know that according to Dr Michael A. Freeman from the University of California, one in three entrepreneurs suffer from mental health issues. We're being sold this story that if you want to be happy and successful then you need to be the next Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk or Sara Blekely. That your sole mission should be to launch the next WhatsApp / Instagram / Snapchat, raise a ton of cash, and retire at 30. But what if you went down that road, only to realise that it was everything but what you hoped it to be? From rags to riches, how a University drop out launched a tech startup, raised $1 million and lived the dream. So could have gone the narrative of today's guest, if it weren't for the fact that James Routledge woke up one day having panic attacks and realising that the company he had built was a soulless shell. It was time to hit the reset button. Thanks to a 99pee notebook, the courage to open up and a religious journaling practice, a mental-health revolution was born. That's right, this week I sit down with James Routledge, founder of Sanctus, a mental-health startup on a mission to change the perception of mental health who want to put the first mental health gym on the high-street. This is an incredible story of how someone managed to turn their pain into their purpose, and their purpose into their profession. All while inspiring a new generation of game changes to join his mission.If you enjoyed today's conversation, make sure to tag James and I over on social media. You can find James over on Instagram under @jroutledge and I'm under @markleruste. And of course, make sure to go vive Sanctus a follow @sanctus. Enjoy our powerful conversation!

Here's a crazy stat, according to Visa Europe one in three people dream of starting their own business but only one in ten actually take the leap. So if you've been thinking of starting your own business or you're keen to know how to grow your business from scratch, but you've been afraid of the process, you're in for a treat. That's right, in today's episode I caught up with Daniel Priestley, best-selling author of four books and CEO of Dent Global who's personally sat down with 5,000+ entrepreneurs to help them get their business off the ground. As you'll hear in today's episode, since launching his first business as a kid in Australia selling second hand furniture, Daniel's built and sold multi-million pound businesses, and through his initiatives, has managed to raise over £400,000 for charity. Needless to say that when it comes down to knowing what it takes to start and grow a business, Dan's your man. Yet, leading a global company, signing books and giving talks around the world can seem glamours from the outside, but Daniel opens up about the reality of being in business and what most people don't know about him. He also shares with us what he believes is the number one best tip to start any business. Spoiler alert, it's probably not what you think. Find out what that is and so much more by listening to our inspiring and powerful conversation!

My guest today, on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots free podcast interview is a man who calls himself the coolest guy in SEO. And when you see him perched on his motorbike, in leathers and wearing a contented smile of "Yeah baby....I have created something amazing come and check it out"..then you think then he is probably spot on with that name. He has created Ardor Media Factory an online company specialising in content marketing, content writing, search engine optimization, search engine ranking, keyword research, web analysis, web design, link building and image linking After obtaining his degree in 2006 degree in Software Engineering from Queensland University of Technology. he decided to scratch his itchy feet by heading off to London. During his time in London, Dublin and Brussels, he worked under contract with Euroclear, Visa Europe and Sony Research & Development. But it was when he really stractched his itchy feet again, and started backpacking around the world a few years ago then one of his big dots really jumped out infront of him. As he says " because of my love for software development, I built an online game. As the completion day came near for the game I made, I thought that I should learn how to market if anyone else is ever going to play with it. So, I started studying how Google works and learned about Search Engine Optimisation. I quickly discovered how important backlinks are – not just any backlinks, but only quality backlinks with relevant and compelling content on powerful industry-specific websites." And the rest is history. Not easy history, in any shape or form, but one that has seen steady growth, a move from his home country of Australia to set up in Davao city in Philippines in January 2013, and now clients flocking to his company from across the globe. Life seems good and should be good, as he has taken control of his own destiny, and worked his socks off to make things happen. So does this kind of success simply come from putting one itchy foot in-front of the other until you start too see things happening? Or is there a blueprint for all of us to follow, as we look to leave the corporate grind, and sit on our own motorbikes to ride into our special futures? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only, Mr Cool SEO Guy Mr Kris Reid.

Have you ever wanted something so bad that it’s all you could think about? Well, on this episode of SuccessQuest, Nicole Matthews will teach you how to accomplish your dreams. In fact, it’s as simple as asking :)Nicole’s StoryShe has been an entrepreneur since 2007.She was working in events and PR for a big law firm. She felt like she was in a wrong spot, and it took her 5 years to get out of her job. She started her business on the side and eventually went in full time. She founded Henley Co. They plan events and do concierge service. She’s worked 3 Olympic Games and 6 Super Bowls. Side Hustle vs. Jumping all inNicole is grateful that she spend time in corporate America for a while. You are where you are to learn the lessons you need to learn and make the connections you need to make. Because she started it as a side hustle, she was able to slowly scale her business and learn skills from her current job. How do you know when it’s time to move on?A family friend had a 14 month old almost drown. This made Nicole think about how short life is, and she didn’t want to live it with any regrets. She hadn’t planed on quitting, but one day, going into work, she felt peace and decided to quit. Benefits of eventsTechnology is amazing, and it provides opportunities to meet virtually. That said, there is still a huge benefit of meeting face to face. Don’t throw parties for the sake of parties. An event needs to be purposeful and well planed. If the event could be done virtually, maybe it should be. Do something different that makes the face-to-face connection meaningful.Struggles building a companyYou need to be brave enough to get out of what you’re not good at. Be willing to outsource work you don’t care about or aren’t good at. The whole point of doing your own thing is being free and creative. If it feels like a job, then why not stay in corporate America. Do what makes you feel fulfilled. Outsourcing & DelegationAs your business grows, you NEED to have your business continue even if YOU can’t be there. Be selective. Be clear on direction. Understand that they won’t love your business like you do. TRUST - you have to trust people to get the work done. BIG ASKBook - Permission! Stop Competing and Start Creating the Life You Want to LiveNicole loves the olympics and England. When she heard the olympics were going to be in London, she really wanted to work at the olympics. The power of a network: “Somebody I know, knows somebody that can make it happen”You have to be bold enough to ask people to help you accomplish your goals. She sent a message to her network letting people know about her goal (125 people). She got about 30 responses!She was connected with people who helped her become the account manager for the CEO of Visa Europe. She was his personal assistant for the course of the games. She had an amazing experience, and it all happened because she was willing to ask. Follow NicoleNicole’s WebsiteThe Henley CompanyPermission!
