Would that be worthwhile to you, especially if those secrets, tips, and traps came from one of the leading entrepreneurs in Texas and one of the most experienced bankers?  Would that be worth a look?

About the book

Small business loans are notoriously hard to come by.  Sure, there are many resources out there, and many ways to obtain money.  But for every resource out there, you can count on hundreds, if not thousands, of business owners vying for it.  As competitive as the business world is, obtaining money is infinitely harder and more competitive. This book takes you inside the world of banking finance.  It takes you inside the minds of bankers.  It tells you what bankers are looking for in loan recipients.  It provides valuable information which will not only get your foot inside the bank but will take you all the way around the bases to the score.

About the authors

This is a book based upon trial and error.  It is a book based upon experience.  Today Ron Sturgeon owns numerous businesses and is well-known in Texas and nationally as a self-made millionaire at the top of his game, but even Ron Sturgeon started out needing money to finance his dreams.  This book tells you the secrets it took Ron decades to learn.

It is also a book written by a banker, a man inside the hallowed halls of finance, a book based upon a thousand business dealings with a thousand small business owners.  It is a book based upon the mistakes made and the victories gained along that path.

Tip examples in this book

“Appraisals are not always needed!” If a property’s value is below a certain dollar amount, an appraisal may not be needed.  The threshold varies by bank.  Knowing that threshold and understanding the rules to the game will go a long way towards securing a bank loan.

“All Appraisals Are Not Created Equal!”  In commercial real estate, appraisals can either be full-scope or limited-scope.  Typically a limited scope appraisal is all you will need to obtain a loan.

These are just two examples of insider information from book snippets most business owners are unaware of, and there are countless other tips in this book.  Can you really afford to not purchase this book?

Bottom line

There are certain things your banker is not going to tell you.  They are not that forthcoming in giving out this information. They are working from the assumption that if you want the loan badly enough, you will learn the rules of the banking industry.  This book gives you that information and those rules.  It gives you the secrets you need to intelligently ask for and secure a business loand.

You really need this book!

“Getting to Yes With Your Banker” should be sitting on your bookshelf right now and be given as premium gifts to clients.  It is a book filled with tips for building a relationship with your banker, a relationship which will pay dividends for years to come.

If I had a dollar for every time a new business owner asked me how to get the money to start or grow a business, I would be a millionaire.

Oh wait, I am a millionaire!

About the authors

With fewer small business loans being given and fewer community banks to give them, you need to know everything you can about getting to yes with your banker.

This book exists because many of the questions that entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs ask me are about how to get the money to start or grow a business.

What I know about working with bankers was learned by trial and error. I wish I had had a book like the one that you’re holding when I first applied for a small business loan

Such a book would have given me a much better appreciation for what a banker needs to approve a small business loan and the ways that I can make his or her job easier.

Over the last 30 years, I’ve borrowed money to start and grow businesses in a variety of industries, and each experience has taught me more about the path to yes.

I’m passionate about business and helping other businesspeople succeed, and glad to share what I have learned.

Apply the principles and advice in these pages and you will be on your way.

Words From Greg Morse

Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted. And experience is often the most valuable thing we have to offer. Experience is given and taught from many people. Looking back, my dad was much more influential on me than I could ever have imagined. We often grow up and don’t realize who some of our best mentors are until it’s too late to thank them. A rancher named Sid Evans taught me how to pull a calf, pull an all-nighter and how to pull off a great business deal. He also taught me that a man can’t drown in his own sweat.

I would be remiss if I failed to mention the hundreds of teachers, professors, colleagues, bosses, leaders, employees and friends that have helped me live my dream. At this juncture I also have to extend thanks to the best grammar teacher I ever had, Sammie Slocum. She was a secretary of mine in the late ’80s and early ‘90s. One of the hardest tasks of her career had to be teaching a 25-year-old-plus, hard-headed male how to write a sentence. She even remains a great friend today.

I thank Ron Sturgeon for picking me to help author a book with him. I would also like to thank Jennifer Henderson, who told me I was not crazy to co-author a book with Ron Sturgeon.

I have always believed that my potential is God’s gift to me. What I do with my potential is my gift to God.

This is a must purchase for your business library or as premium gifts for your clients!
