Yuliya,

Come on now, your comments are getting even more silly by the post lol.

John,

1. This is the everything else section. What does 'EVERYTHING ELSE' imply?

2. We are not concerned with the credibility thing. But I really appreciate your concern there. The only way to build credibility with most MCA brokers is to work for them for free.

You should very well be concerned with the "credibility thing" because this forum comes up very high in search engines. Individuals and prospects looking up your company will see these silly threads which aren't good from a business development standpoint. It doesn't matter if there's an Everything Else section, you ought to be professional at all times.

3. Jay has not changed his pricing on $1,000 per hour for years and he has received that $1,000 per hour.

----------------------

Just because YOU don't assign a value to yourself where you'll charge $1,000 per hour and get it does not mean it can't be don.

Just because YOU can't send a funder a bill for tens of thousands of dollars and get it, doesn't mean it can't be done, and that it hasn't been done.

Okay, but I'm on Jay's personal LinkedIn profile right now and correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears as though he didn't get paid selling merchant cash advances based on his summary? Is this correct? If so, what is he consulting people on for $1,000 per hour? I have individuals emailing me as well for information and I don't charge them hardly anything for assistance. $1,000 per hour is ludicrous, especially coming from a person that admittedly says he didn't close any merchant cash advance deals, why the hell is he a consultant? What is the basis of his consultation? That's like a guy calling himself a lawyer without passing the Bar for goodness sakes.

Just because YOU are not aware that you are operating in a space (industry) currently in a bubble poised to pop and rock brokers to the core, doesn't mean that the writing is not on the wall. John, what's your Plan B? Got a soft pillow to land on?

Actually, I have been writing on the "future" of the broker for quite some time now. And yes, I have a Plan B, it's called a strong professional network, a good resume and capital, all three allow me to retrain into another industry. However, I do not see our industry going away, information technology disruption is going to continue regardless and our industry is on the leading forefront of that. I do see a lot of brokers who lack innovation being pushed out of the market though.

Just because YOU are more concerned with being liked, approachable, and in your public persona, doesn't mean there are people who can care less.

Again, this comment makes no sense. It's one thing to state your mind in a way to not be "PC", but to not be "approachable" in a business based on relationship building is completely insane.

John, just keep being John. You're a perfect caricature of everything they wish Jay would be. Kudos.

Are you Jay? You have referred to yourself as Jay before in a couple prior posts, if you are Jay, why are you hiding under a fake profile? Maybe you don't care seeing as though (according to you) "credibility" doesn't matter.

But can you tell me, what exactly is Jay fighting against and why in the hell should someone pay Jay $1,000 per hour to consult on a product that he never successfully sold? Come to think of it, I don't think the CEOs of many major funders/lenders demand $1,000 per hour to do an engagement, so why in the hell does Jay demand that when (according to him) he hasn't done anything?

John,

1. Credibility is not a concern when you're not offering any products to anyone in this space. Why would you be concerned with credibility if you're not selling anything? You don't quite seem to get that most common brokers don't have budgets to invest in the things we provide - unless they are in CA.

2. Self deprecation was used in the "didn't close any merchant cash advance deals." Thats the "assumption." We are just running with it. What percentage of deals basically close themselves? Did you think Buynance really got ZERO deals done? Come on...

3. Rather than writing on the future of the broker, you should be looking at the future of the economy. Do you have friends in banking? I do. Do you know that they are preparing for the greatest recession of our time? How does your plan combat / support that?

4. A real man would approach a real man - not communicate through a woman. You can e-mail Jay - PM me for his contact information. I'm sure you guys would hit it off.

I thought you just said that Jay was offering consultation for $1,000 an hour to individuals within the industry? Isn't that "selling" something?

2. Self deprecation was used in the "didn't close any merchant cash advance deals." Thats the "assumption." We are just running with it. What percentage of deals basically close themselves? Did you think Buynance really got ZERO deals done? Come on...

Well, maybe you should tell Jay (if you aren't Jay) to update his LinkedIn profile, it doesn't "look right" is all I'm saying.

3. Rather than writing on the future of the broker, you should be looking at the future of the economy. Do you have friends in banking? I do. Do you know that they are preparing for the greatest recession of our time? How does your plan combat / support that?

That's a completely different topic and would take pages to discuss. I'm open to doing so at a later date if you prefer "Yuliya G" or Jay?

4. A real man would approach a real man - not communicate through a woman. You can e-mail Jay - PM me for his contact information. I'm sure you guys would hit it off.

Jay just emailed me lol. When Jay's "woman" is used as his spokesperson on an open discussion forum, then asking questions about "Jay" becomes relevant. I didn't bring up "Jay", his "woman" did. While we are on the topic of what a real man would do, why is Jay using his woman (or a fake profile that appears to be a woman) to speak for him instead of making posts on this forum representing himself?

I have had Jay instantly email me on many occations after I have replied to one of YuliyaG's posts..

By the way, again, this is an instance where you are presented with evidence and want to resort to denial. It's flat out AMAZING. You resorted to denial when confronted with reality that some shops are automating like crazy. This level of automation made you so uncomfy that you denied it was being done in practice.

The profile shows there were at least two calls through the system (others where folks preferred to remain private) where folks paid $1,000 per hour.

Aside from these calls, he's been paid $5,000 PER DAY to help funders with things and tens of thousands more to help with other things for other funders.

I know that can be "shell shocking." "Who would pay that much?" "Why they would pay that much?" I get it. But when you know yourself and know your worth, you find it tough to budge on $1,000 per hour.
