Independent sales representatives provide scalable technology sales opportunity for health screening and vaccine passports to Contakt World and its portfolio companies

  • HealthCheck’s existing 1,000+ customer sites were acquired through sales efforts of one part-time independent sales representative and two founders leading to $1.55M CAD revenue and $555K CAD net profit for the twelve-months ended July 31, 20211
  • In addition to plans to bolster its revenue opportunities with vaccine passports and validation, Contakt World just launched a program to aggressively add independent sales representatives to scale sales within employer establishments, K-12 schools and event venues in the US
  • Contakt World’s advertisements and initial screening process to add independent sales representatives for health screening, vaccine passports, and future solutions yielded dozens of qualified applicants in less than two weeks
  • Independent sales representatives are expected to grow customer base and increase revenue for HealthCheck and future solutions like vaccine passports on a commission-only basis

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 1, 2021) – Contakt World Technologies Corp. (CSE: HELP) (OTC: TLOOF) (FSE: B2I0) (the “Company” or “Contakt World”), a SaaS company committed to improving health equity and access to healthcare while solving sector specific business challenges like symptom screening and vaccine passports, today announced it will create a network of independent sales representatives to scale sales for the recently acquired HealthCheck app, vaccine passports, and future acquisitions or partnering products.

Contakt World’s processes for independent sales representatives are being designed for efficient onboarding, CRM to track leads and sales, recurring trainings, and lead generation to support independent sales representatives. Independent sales representatives will be paid a commission of 10% on their collected sales from health screening, vaccine passports, and future products.

“A single independent sales representative working on a commission-basis led to hundreds of commercial users for HealthCheck and 12-month trailing revenues of $1.55M CAD1, as at July 31, 2021, before we acquired the company,” stated Justin Beck, Chief Visionary Officer for Contakt World. “HealthCheck is an attractive solution for organizations of all shapes and sizes, where liabilities relating to COVID-19, vaccine passports, symptom screening, and safety are reduced through our SaaS solutions. More independent representatives to sell our solutions means more sales opportunities for Contakt World.” Contakt has initiated the onboarding of several sales representatives with the goal of contracting a team of 15-20 people in the next 30-60 days distributed across multiple states in the United States.

In addition to its efforts to add vaccine credentials and vaccine validation to the HealthCheck screening tool, Contakt World is negotiating with several partner technologies to bolster its SaaS portfolio for customers in a number of health-related fields. Symptom screening, vaccine passports, vaccine validation, and other methods to improve population safety and reduce liability are becoming key to everyday business, travel, and social life.

Fintech Pulse: Your Daily Industry Brief (Chime, ZBD, MiCA)

As we close out 2024, the fintech industry continues to deliver headlines that underscore its dynamism and innovation. From IPO aspirations to groundbreaking regulatory milestones, today’s updates highlight the transformative power of fintech partnerships, regulatory evolution, and disruptive technologies. Here’s what you need to know.

Chime’s Quiet Step Toward Public Markets

Chime, the U.S.-based financial technology startup best known for its digital banking services, has taken a significant step by filing confidential paperwork for an initial public offering (IPO). As one of the most valuable private fintechs in the U.S., Chime’s move could potentially signal a renewed appetite for fintech IPOs in a market that has been cautious following fluctuating valuations across the tech sector.

With a valuation that reportedly exceeded $25 billion in its last funding round, Chime’s IPO could set a new benchmark for the industry. Observers note that its strong customer base and revenue growth may make it an appealing choice for investors seeking to capitalize on the digital banking boom. However, the timing and success of the IPO will depend on broader market conditions and the regulatory landscape.

ZBD’s Pioneering Achievement: EU MiCA License Approval

ZBD, a fintech company specializing in Bitcoin Lightning network solutions, has made history by becoming the first to secure an EU MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) license. This landmark approval by the Dutch regulator positions ZBD at the forefront of compliant crypto-fintech operations in Europe.

MiCA, which aims to harmonize the regulatory framework for crypto-assets across the EU, has been a focal point for industry players aiming to establish legitimacy and expand their offerings. ZBD’s achievement not only validates its operational rigor but also sets a precedent for other fintech firms navigating the evolving regulatory landscape.

Industry insiders view this as a strategic advantage for ZBD as it broadens its footprint in Europe. By leveraging its regulatory approval, the company can accelerate its product deployment and establish trust with institutional and retail users alike.
