Great post. This guy (or gal) knows his stuff!

The type of UCC pitch I like to use relies on trying to establish familiarity and rapport from the first few seconds:

"Hi Tom, this is Archie from Jumpstart Capital (spoken in a very high energy, upbeat, familiar tone). I spoke to you a few months ago (they get hundreds of calls so he probably won't remember anyway) about financing for your business but you told me to call back around this time. I'm just checking in to see if you're ready to look at some new programs. How's everything going?"

Notice how there was no question about refinancing or needing cash. No "Yes" or "No" questions. This is a very soft sell where you are offering some options for him to look at. It's innocuous and very non-threatening. Who doesn't like to look at options? The goal is to engage the prospect and build familiarity immediately to elicit more information about his business. This will provide the clues on how to structure your interaction and where to lead the conversation.

As FundingStrategist said, you're the Funding Pro so don't pigeon hole yourself as being one of those cash advance guys. You have to offer a variety of funding options, ranging from short-term to long-term programs, SBAs, business loans, etc. Your goal is to learn about the merchant's business and find the best product for his specific need. If you're a one-trick pony only offering MCAs, you'll find a lot of doors slamming in your face. Many of the UCC listings have had terrible experiences with MCAs so you better have alternatives for them. Whether or not they qualify for these alternatives is another story. The goal, however, is to get the completed application to see where the applicant's credit profile lies and then properly manage his expectations.

He made mistakes in his pitch but its better than most and for the 10000000 time

if you say Hi I am from jumpstart capital ( not interested) of if you talk thru it they tune fk out after they hear that word capital and they are waiting for you to pause talking so they can say

NOT INTERESTED

And if you end the paragraph on Hows everything going? OPEN ENDED

They will say "not good and take me off your list"
