I don’t post much on LinkedIn anymore. I find it’s more a job search tool rather than a networking or prospecting (sales) tool nowadays. It’s a regression to the mean from the height of COVID-19. Nothing will ever beat face to face business. Sorry Artifical Intelligence…but I felt compelled to write my thoughts down after my own personal experience with a purchase transaction and a commercial loan. I will say this: There are a lot of bankers who recently got into commercial and government guaranteed (SBA) lending in the past few years that have no business occupying the space. Be wary of them. They, more often than not, don’t have the experience to act with urgency and can not be definitive with you. They are chasing a paycheck rather than being a trusted value added partner. If you are sitting at 30 days since application, and haven’t heard back from your lender without a commitment letter, or your earnest money on a contract is going hard soon, maybe Plan B is in order. That sucks, but I hope that never happens to you. “Under promise, over deliver”. It’s one of the hardest things to accomplish in the banking industry. #SBA #BANKING #COLORADOSPRINGS #CUSTOMERSERVICE #COMMERCIALLENDING #NOTDENVER
