How many SBA loans will you close in 2012?

No one can predict the future with absolute certainty, but what's your best guess? One thing is for sure -- your number is probably higher than your 2011 production. Nobody hopes or plans to do less business next year, right?

Whether you're a BDO or you manage a team of BDOs, you need to have a plan in place to achieve your goals for 2012. Heck, you ought to plan on blowing past your goals and setting new records for yourself or your department.

If you want 2012 to be a record-setting year for you and your lending institution, you need to purchase the SBA University Resources. Before we tell you what SBA University is, think seriously about the following questions:

» Do you want to not only meet your 2012 goals, but blow right past them?

» Do you want to be the best-trained and most effective in SBA lending?

» Do you want a step-by-step plan of action for 2012 that is guaranteed to generate more business and close more loans than ever before?

» Do you want your business development sales team to maximize their potential in 2012?

If you're really not interested in any of the above -- if you're happy doing what you've always done and getting the same results, not looking for any real improvement -- then SBA University Resources isn't for you.

If you answered YES to any of the above questions, keep reading. You're going like what SBA University has to offer.

What is SBA University?

Let's start with what it's NOT. SBA University was NOT a motivational "rah-rah" event that gets you fired up for a few days and then leaves you looking for what's next. It's also NOT a marketing pitch for additional training or selling materials. (Let's face it: most of the "done-for-you" marketing stuff out there isn't as helpful as advertised, and only benefits the people selling it.) SBA University is also NOT for people who are afraid to invest in themselves or who don't want to continually get better at what they do.

SBA University is not about these things. Nod if you're still with us.

SBA University IS for BDOs who want to continually improve. It's an event that will give you a plan of attack unique to you -- a plan you believe in and are committed to executing -- so you can shatter all records and have the success you know you're capable of in 2012.

SBA University was a two-day, hard-hitting training session that was only for BDOs who want to truly improve. Even those at the top of their game can find room for improvement -- bettering their best, as we like to say. That's why so many professional athletes have personal trainers and seek out specialized coaching to constantly hone their skills.

What you'll get

SBA University was the first BDO training program built on real-world experience in the SBA lending industry. Everything is presented from a real-world perspective -- it's about what is working (not what worked in years past or what should work). Each and every SBA University attendee will get a personalized plan for 2012, tailored for the success he or she wants to achieve. This isn't about mindset or theory -- this is practical stuff that can be implemented immediately and is proven to generate real results.

Here are some things you can expect from SBA University:

» How to best position SBA loans when battling conventional financing for borrowers.

» How to more efficiently manage the small business loan cycle.

» How to be more productive by leveraging technology and managing your time (our most valuable asset).

» Why (and how) you should "brand" yourself.

» Why search engine results should matter to you.

» How to leverage social media (and prevent it from being a time-waster).

» Understanding your centers of influence and how to efficiently get more.

» And a whole lot more

The SBA University Guarantee

If you purchase the SBA University Resources, develop your blueprint, put into action the things you learn there, but still don't close more loans in 2012 than you did in 2011, 100% of your "tuition" will be refunded, no questions asked. You only need to provide proof that you practiced the things learned at SBA University. That's how serious we are about this stuff.
