Certified Lender Programs
The Certified Lenders Program (CLP) is designed to provide expeditious service on loan applications received from lenders who have a successful SBA lending track record and a thorough understanding of SBA policies and procedures. CLP lenders are expected to perform a complete analysis of the application and, in return, SBA promises a fast loan decision. SBA reviews the lender's credit analysis rather than conducts a second analysis. SBA still makes the final credit and eligibility decision but, by completing a credit review instead of an independently conducting analysis, SBA strives for 3-day (working days) turn around in arriving at its decision.
“Seven Strategic Tips For Selling Professional Services Brand, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach”
Selling professional services presents many challenges and problems with closing a deal with a prospect and/or client. The term “closing” has an inherent seller-orientation and it can be interpreted as putting your needs ahead of the client’s needs. And that is never a desired interpretation for those who sell professional services. The “closing” model also presents some conflicts between the belief that buying is driven by rational decision-making, rather than emotion. What is important is to have the buyer of professional services feel comfortable about a rational decision they have to make. Instead of the “closing” concept, which presumes a transactional, seller-centered, rational model of buying decisions, let’s look at a model centered on trust in the seller. Here are some tips to accomplish that. Here are tips

Should I Decide with My Head or My Gut?
We can safely say that humans are decision making animals. However, just because we are constantly making decisions doesn’t mean that these decisions are necessarily rational. In fact, most of our decisions are not rational. They are made on the spur of the moment out of habit or, in more extreme circumstances, intuitively or instinctively. Intuition is essential in crises and emergencies, whereas a more deliberate approach is needed when time and circumstances permit. This article provides some rules of thumb to follow in rapid decision making
Small Business Tips to Hire Great Employees – Listen To Your Gut
Have you ever had a hunch? How about gut feel? All of these are euphemisms for intuition. Intuition is one of the most underrated business tools that exists for managers, with all successful leaders using it automatically in their day to day decision making. For 20 years I taught logical and rational decision making processes around people management to executives, but found that something was missing. Even the most rational and logical processes could go totally wrong unless intuition was allowed air time.

Priming The Mental Pump: A Branding Experience
It appears that creating a well thought-out experience for an audience triggers actions and reactions buried deep in the primitive area of the brain that is related to our most basic survival instincts that override the areas of the brain associated with more modern rational analysis.
Market Analysis Template
When looking into a new business proposition or else brainstorming for your current market a market analysis template can be used rather effectively. What this does is break down your market segment into clearly defining traits that your market has to help you figure out how to better serve you customers. There are more than a few market analysis templates floating around for free, a simple web search will net you more than you would ever use. However, an understanding of the components that make up a market analysis template and making sure you have everything you need in place can be very helpful. I just so happen to have a few ideas on that.
The Myth of Transcendence and Other Evolutionary Geek-ness
Stages of Evolution. Waves of unfolding. The spiral. You are familiar with the holonic stages ::: from pre-personal to personal to trans-personal; from body/physical to mind/mental/intellectual to Spiritual; from ego-centric to ethno-centric/Nationalistic to World-centric/global. From pre-rational to rational to trans-rational. ::: From vengeance to justice to Grace. From your emotions running you to having choice around your emotional reactions to achieving a place of actual freedom; from crawling to walking to running. Stages of ever increasing inclusiveness. Stages of ever-increasing whole-ness. Levels of ever-increasing expansiveness.
Resolution Rule #1
Of the 40-45% of American adults who make resolutions each year, most resolve to improve their lifestyle. However, one quarter of those resolutions fall by the wayside within one week and less than 50% last six months. The people who make these resolutions truly want to live better, yet they fall far short of living a healthier, wealthier life. It is easy to find a list of pointers on how to keep a resolution, but these lists are missing, or downplay the most important ingredient you need to keep your resolution. The experts tell you to set realistic goals, plan for obstacles, etc. These guidelines appeal to your rational brain. Human beings are not rational. We are emotional. If you want to accomplish anything important you must understand the emotions involved.
The Infinite Loop to Nowhere
We've all experienced it in business. The analysis of every detail, every potential outcome. We search and search for facts, figures, consenting opinions, a quorum vote - we want to be sure. We let analysis get in the way of success. Especially as our world accelerates around us. All that analysis puts us farther and farther behind.
How To Calm An Angry Person, II
If you want to be an inspirational leader, you have to deal in the realm of emotions. I've had several clients over the years who sought to manage from pure logic, from rational analysis, from a perspective that "the numbers will tell us what to do." That's OK for management, and people certainly appreciate knowing they're doing the logically-correct thing, but it's an approach that falls short of the sort of inspirational leadership that ignites the passion to go beyond the "correct" to the "great...."
