At one time SBA loans were considered loans of last resort because of the complexities and nuances of SBA requirements and closing process. As credit standards have tightened, government guaranteed loans have gained prominence whereby lenders appreciate the credit enhancements provided through SBA programs to provide to credit facilities as well as fee income earned on SBA loans sold in the secondary marketplace. While these programs are readily available and encouraged by the SBA, they can be complicated for lenders. The live audio conference will walk you through the details you need to know to prepare successful SBA loans. If a SBA loan is not properly documented, closed and serviced, it could lead to a partial or full denial of the guaranty in the event of a default with respect to a 7(a) loan or result in the failure of lenders interim loan to be refinanced with a 504 loan debenture. You will learn who’s eligible for loans, the different programs available (Standard 7(a) Loan Processing, Certified Lender Program), Preferred Lender Programs, 504 Loan Program, how the process works, what you need to document, and how to avoid common pitfalls.

No is a word customers never want to hear. How do you keep them coming back when giving a yes is not an option? Could you be hurting your business by saying yes because no is outside your comfort zone? And how do you ensure that everyone inside your company, regardless of their role, knows how to instantly deliver a skilled response that takes the sting out of no, calms your most volatile customers, and keeps you from being seen as the villain in their story? When a customer gets a no in the wrong way, they may take to social media to complain about your company to the masses. Additionally, when a leader consistently overrides a staff member’s no with a yes, it takes the wind out of the team’s sails and lowers employee engagement. There’s never been a more important time to garner the tools for saying no in a way that keeps both your company’s reputation and customer loyalty high.
This live audio conference offers effective ways to say no. It gives you specific words to use, how to handle a customer who won’t take no for an answer, and ways to evaluate creative alternatives to no that can bring you more business and keep customers coming back. The audio conference will also provide a strategic approach to supporting a properly used no that anyone inside your company can use effectively.
