Come 3 00:00:06.800 --> 00:00:09.200 on over Sam. Thanks so much for joining us. 4 00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:13.200 Likewise Sam. It's your first time here at this 5 00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:15.300 event. Go ahead and tell me who you work 6 00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:18.500 for and your name and your lesson you first so, my name 7 00:00:18.500 --> 00:00:21.100 is Osama College. I work as a VPS sales for the 8 00:00:21.100 --> 00:00:24.300 working capital Marketplace. And this is our first time here. We 9 00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:27.100 just want to meet people, you know, put a face to the name 10 00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:30.100 and just you know, learn from the best. So what's been your 11 00:00:30.100 --> 00:00:33.600 expectation. What is your expectation so far just for today alone. Well 12 00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.200 to be honest the bank is always been in the back of my mind 13 00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:39.500 since I got into the industry 2016 always wanted 14 00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:42.100 to go. However, we got a great opportunity to come here 15 00:00:42.100 --> 00:00:45.300 this time around and I just want to meet all the great people that make this 16 00:00:45.300 --> 00:00:48.500 happen, right? So what they're up to how they do things. What 17 00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:51.400 does the economic downturn look like from a consumer side 18 00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:54.100 from A lender side? What are we doing 19 00:00:54.100 --> 00:00:57.600 new? What are we doing old? What are the good things happening? What 20 00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.000 are the crazy things happening? Just everything that I could 21 00:01:00.100 --> 00:01:03.300 Of in the moment. So let's talk about for 2023. What 22 00:01:03.300 --> 00:01:06.600 are your expectations for your company? Well for us this growth 23 00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:09.100 scalability, that's what we're working on. Obviously, we want 24 00:01:09.100 --> 00:01:12.600 to provide the best products available to our clientele and take care 25 00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:15.900 of the clients and hopefully there's no economic downturn 26 00:01:15.900 --> 00:01:18.100 because even if there is Main Street 27 00:01:18.100 --> 00:01:21.100 always relies on people like us, right, they can't go to the 28 00:01:21.100 --> 00:01:24.400 bank profitabilities and issue sometimes so we want to be there, you 29 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:27.100 know, put our best foot forward always trying to 30 00:01:27.100 --> 00:01:30.100 get them the best thing available. So in regards to making those 31 00:01:30.100 --> 00:01:33.500 big deals this year, how does that look like for you? Yeah just 32 00:01:33.500 --> 00:01:36.300 leads to you know doing the right marketing putting the 33 00:01:36.300 --> 00:01:38.200 right stuff out there and just working. 34 00:01:39.100 --> 00:01:42.200 Working till you're sweating, right? Let's just keep working at it until 35 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.200 you know something happens. So you've been in this 36 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.000 industry since 2016. What's been the biggest deal you've seen 37 00:01:48.300 --> 00:01:51.300 so far the biggest deal I've seen so far was I believe it 38 00:01:51.300 --> 00:01:55.400 was a 2.4 million dollar deal, which was funded concurrently or 39 00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.200 2.5. Yeah. That's 40 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.200 the biggest deal I've seen and how did you how did you get that deal? I mean 41 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.500 people that that are just starting out. They want to know how to get those big deals. Yeah, 42 00:02:03.500 --> 00:02:06.400 so I actually did not get that deal my part not 43 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.200 my partner but this guy at work was working with he got that deal and I 44 00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:12.600 believe it was a referral. So I think that that's something that goes a 45 00:02:12.600 --> 00:02:15.800 long way that we don't really pay attention to and obviously, 46 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.800 you know, just talking on the right people because you may 47 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.000 know somebody who may know somebody who may know somebody right and 48 00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:24.200 don't be ashamed to just say hey, this 49 00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:27.200 is what I do. If you ever need me, give me a call if you don't no problem. 50 00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:31.100 Right. Awesome. Well Sam. Thanks so 51 00:02:31.100 --> 00:02:33.300 much for joining us. I'm gonna let you enjoy the event.
